1. Open Text Comparison with the following versions: NRSV, NABRE, JPB, NJB, NEB.

2. Enter Gk Es 12:2 into the reference; the results are as expected but note the differences in the chapter/verse assigned in each version.

3. Enter Esther A:13 into the reference box; note that the NABRE notation is converted into LXX-S versification and the results are as expected,

4. BUG: Enter Esther 1:1n into the reference box. Oops this doesn't work so well. NRSV and NABRE notation work but NJB does not.

5. BUG: Well I can at least modify the error by making the reference to Greek Esther 1:1n ... but wait this is the first time the JPS has appeared for Greek Esther ooooops another error.

6. So maybe in this case I must specify the verse map. Enter NJB Esther 1:1n ... ah yes this works as expected ... so sometimes I need to specify versification and sometimes Logos/Verbum "just figures it out" (POSSIBLE BUG)
