A short sign can leave out a step that's familiar to whoever wrote it. Jin and Ara worked separately and made clear whom visitors should speak to and what they should say. Their wording differed, but they added the same detail. Keeping the original and the revision together lets the next person see why the wording changed.

About the source and this adaptation
The Babylonian Talmud, Megillah 9a:11–12, tells that King Ptolemy put seventy-two elders in separate rooms and asked them to translate the Torah. The account says God gave them wisdom and they reached the same understanding. Its examples include placing God first as the one who creates in the opening line of Genesis and making the wording about creating humanity singular. Jerusalem Talmud Megillah 1:9:15 also records wordings changed for the king. The wisdom line paraphrases the Babylonian account of their agreement. The workshop, exhibition sign, different drafts and visitors' responses are modern fiction created with AI assistance.
