There already is.  The full Hebrew scriptures are there:  Biblia Hebraica 
Stuttgartensia  The Tenach is simply what is otherwise referred to as the "Old 
Testament".

I certainly think Sword would readily accept another other text of the Tenach.

I understand the interest in having "other scriptures" but this is a matter 
of scope creep.  The Sword program can present The Judeo-Christian Scriptures 
AND hierarchical documents.  

I'd be more interested in supporting other Christian canonical variations, 
particularly the Deutero-Canonical books.  There are variations in verse and 
chapter numbering that introduce complexity too, without even going off into 
other scriptures.
