[sword-devel] SpaRV1909 - some verses seem to have moved between chapters on accident?

[David Haslam]

Module SpaRV1909 is quite an old module.
It was made before SWORD supported all the various Alternative Versifications that it now does.

Module SpaRV1865 is a much later module, in which Numbers 12 (eg) does have 16 verses.

The solution might be to rebuild SpaRV1909 from source but using the same Versification as was used for the SpaRV1865.

There’s also a completely separate issue in module SpaRV1909.
The encoding of Strong’s markup uses backwards greedy matching.
This means that many Strong’s tags are associated with more consecutive words than they should be.

Best regards,

David Haslam
