The VerseMap in the morphhb project does a great job at reconciling the differences between the WLC and KJV versification.


However there is an issue with titles. In the KJV the titles are not counted as part of the verse numbering, whereas in the WLC they are.

My proposal is that we create a document similar to the VerseMap, to map titles for Psalms. Is there a better way to solve this problem?

If not then I am happy to go ahead and create this document.

I think I found an error in the VerseMap.xml file


Xml Line Number Xml Text Comment
1045 verse wlc="Ps.44.2" kjv="Ps.42.1" type="full"/ kjv should be Ps.44.1 not Ps.42.1

I was playing around with this file as I wanted to use it for my website www.MyHebrewBible.com, and I noticed that there were KJV verse numbers that were duplicate.  I'm guessing that the problem is more than just the two bibles adding a verse or two at the end of a chapter, but more like one verse then the other one does...see the attached snap shot.

Anyway, here are the duplicate verses which may or may not be an error

Xml Line Number Xml Text Comment
1142 verse wlc="Ps.51.3" kjv="Ps.51.1" type="full"/ kjv Ps.51.1 is repeated from previous row
1162 verse wlc="Ps.52.3" kjv="Ps.52.1" type="full"/ kjv Ps.52.1 is repeated from previous row
1178 verse wlc="Ps.54.3" kjv="Ps.54.1" type="full"/ kjv Ps.54.1 is repeated from previous row
1261 verse wlc="Ps.60.3" kjv="Ps.60.1" type="full"/ kjv Ps.60.1 is repeated from previous row
 
Thanks,
John Marsing

The Psalm 44 is certainly an error.  In the others, the KJV has a 'title' followed by the first verse.  The Hebrew text includes the titles, as the first two verses, then continues with verse 3 matching the KJV verse 1.  I thought this was the most appropriate way to express this in OSIS references.

Thanks for the input.

Peace,

David

I just posted the corrected verse map.  The handling of the Psalm 'titles' is already mentioned in the comment at the beginning of the file.
