Editing Torah scroll (section)

===Biblical roots===
This practice has its source in the escorting of the [[Ark of the Covenant]] to [[Jerusalem]], led by King [[David]]. As described in the [[Books of Samuel]], this event was marked by dancing and the playing of musical instruments ({{bibleverse|2 Samuel|6:14–15}}). Both the priests or ''[[Kohen|kohanim]]'' and David himself "danced before the Ark" or "danced before the Lord".<ref name=chabad>{{cite web |url= http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/1041022/jewish/Dedicating-a-New-Torah-Scroll.htm |title= Dedicating a New Torah Scroll |first= Baruch S. |last= Davidson |publisher=[[Chabad]].org |year= 2015 |access-date=19 April 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=MLPoAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA104 |title= Remember Observe Rejoice: A Guide to the Jewish Feasts, Holidays, Memorial Days and Events |first= Petra |last= van der Zande |year= 2012 |publisher= Tsur Tzina Publications |isbn= 9789657542125 |page= 104}}</ref>
