<div style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<br>Could it be a mistake that

<b>LXX</b> from SWORD
<b style="">1.7.2</b> onwards?

<ul style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" data-editing-info="{"orderedStyleType":1,"unorderedStyleType":1}">
<li style="list-style-type: disc;">If the answer is "yes", then please can this be rectified asap.</li>
<li style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; list-style-type: disc;">It seems an unwanted burden to have an large empty book in the various LXX modules that we host & support.</li>
<li style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; list-style-type: disc;">Then, once that's done, all the LXX modules built using <b>Versification=LXX</b> would need to be rebuilt and updated by <b>CrossWire</b>, as well as by <b>eBible.org</b> and <b>STEP Bible</b>.</li>

<br>NB. As yet, there's no versification for the

<ul style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" data-editing-info="{"orderedStyleType":1,"unorderedStyleType":1}">
<li style="list-style-type: disc;">As and when we are sent (or made aware of) a <b>TextSource</b> for such a Bible, it might be better to develop a proper versification called <b>Ethiopian</b> to cater for this requirement.</li>
<li style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; list-style-type: disc;">Then, for any subsequent Bible module that might include the <b>Book of Enoch</b>, it would have it's needed support.<br></li>
