[sword-devel] HebDelitzsch updated

[David Haslam]

Dear Peter,

The problems that I reported in late August with HebDelitzsch 1.1.1 are
still not fixed.
Something was seriously amiss with the module build, not just the absence of
a line in the conf.

Please examine the module carefully in a front-end such as Xiphos.

Look at Revelation of John 1:1

The text displayed below Chapter 1 is the last verse of Jude (v25).
Then you have an widowed verse 1 marker.
Then you have  verse 2 marker with the actual Hebrew text for verse 1.

Now try to select Revelation of John 13:1
It cannot be selected in Xiphos, because 13:2 is also missing.
To get anything displayed for chapter 13, you have to select 13:2 or later.
The text displayed for verse 3 actually belongs to verse 1.

As I reported before, there are misplaced verses and missing verses after
the end of III John.
After this point, all the errors are compounded.

It's not difficult to demonstrate these issues. Just do a file dump using
mod2imp or diatheke.

Here's a snippet from the IMP file:

$$$III John 1:14
אֲבָל אֲקַוֶּה לִרְאוֹתְךָ בִּמְהֵרָה וּפֶה אֶל־פֶּה נְדַבֵּר שָׁלוֹם לָךְ
הָרֵעִים שֹׁאֲלִים לִשְׁלוֹמֶךָ שְׁאַל לִשְׁלוֹם הָרֵעִים לְאִישׁ אִישׁ
בִּשְׁמוֹ׃ <chapter eID="gen7776" osisID="3John.1"/> <div eID="gen7775"
osisID="3John" type="book"/>
$$$Jude 0:0

$$$Jude 1:0
<div osisID="Jude" sID="gen7791" type="book"/>
$$$Jude 1:1
<chapter osisID="Jude.1" sID="gen7792"/>
$$$Jude 1:2
יְהוּדָה עֶבֶד יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ וַאֲחִי יַעֲקֹב אֶל־הַמְקֹרָאִים אֲשֶׁר
הֵם מְקֻדָּשִׁים וַאֲהוּבִים בֵּאלֹהִים הָאָב וּשְׁמוּרִים לְיֵשׁוּעַ
הַמָּשִׁיחַ׃


It should look more like this: (assuming NRSV)

$$$III John 1:14
אֲבָל אֲקַוֶּה לִרְאוֹתְךָ בִּמְהֵרָה וּפֶה אֶל־פֶּה נְדַבֵּר שָׁלוֹם לָךְ
הָרֵעִים שֹׁאֲלִים לִשְׁלוֹמֶךָ שְׁאַל לִשְׁלוֹם הָרֵעִים לְאִישׁ אִישׁ
בִּשְׁמוֹ׃ <chapter eID="gen7776" osisID="3John.1"/> <div eID="gen7775"
osisID="3John" type="book"/>
$$$III John 1:15

$$$Jude 0:0
<div osisID="Jude" sID="gen7791" type="book"/>
$$$Jude 1:0
<chapter osisID="Jude.1" sID="gen7792"/>
$$$Jude 1:1
יְהוּדָה עֶבֶד יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ וַאֲחִי יַעֲקֹב אֶל־הַמְקֹרָאִים אֲשֶׁר
הֵם מְקֻדָּשִׁים וַאֲהוּבִים בֵּאלֹהִים הָאָב וּשְׁמוּרִים לְיֵשׁוּעַ
הַמָּשִׁיחַ׃
$$$Jude 1:2
רַחֲמִים וְשָׁלוֹם וְאַהֲבָה יִהְיוּ לָכֶם לְמַכְבִּיר׃

Yet as there is no Hebrew text for III John 1:15, since Delitzsch matches
KJV here, it would be better to use KJV as the v11n.  

This is the root of these issues, using the wrong v11n.
NRSV differs from KJV at two places: III John 1:15 and Rev 12:18.
It's the latter that caused verse 2 to be "missing" in Rev 13.

------

Finally, this conf line is superfluous.

GlobalOptionFilter=UTF8Cantillation 

cf. The only fully cantillated Hebrew NT was the one by Ezekiel Margoliouth
(1865).

Best regards,

David
