The book order of the MT is:
Gen Exod Lev Num Deut Josh Judg 1Sam 2Sam 1Kgs 2Kgs Isa Jer Ezek Hos 
Joel Amos Obad Jonah Mic Nah Hab Zeph Hag Zech Mal Ps Job Prov Ruth Song 
Eccl Lam Esth Dan Ezra Neh 1Chr 2Chr

There is none of the combined book stuff because no one uses the Bible 
like that. No one refers to the 20th chapter of the minor prophets or of 
Ezra/Nehemiah or anything similar. Ignoring some corner cases relating 
to the deuterocanonicals, reference systems addressing the 39 books of 
the OT always make reference to the 39 books separately.

I think all of the Hebrew modules use MT or Leningrad as their 
versification system, so they would use the standard MT or Leningrad 
book order. The same goes for the 1917 JPS, which uses MT.

Run time loading of versifications has not been implemented. It raises 
various complications of its own.

The person starting the thread wants a 49 book Bible instead of a 66 
book Bible in part because 6 is evil and 49 is not--hence numerology.
