Attn Kyle: Wrong Datatype for JPS Commentaries

I was attending to this issue, when I discovered alignment problems between the JPS Torah Commentaries and the JPS Tanakh Bible, 1985. Specifically, the Exodus commentary and chapter 20.

I think the JPS commentary is fundamentally aligned to the JPS Tanakh bible but is using the wrong bible datatype. There may be other issues of tagging for bible verses that actually apply to the BHS datatype.

    good catch

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Interesting!

    According to the copyright page of the Commentary on Exodus it's using the Bible (BHS) verse map. Yet, in chapter 20 of Exodus it is definitely following the Bible (JPS) verse map and moves the Bible (BHS) references into parenthesis.

    However, it also credits Bible (JPS) as well so that seems more likely.

    We can certainly swap the verse map. With any luck the resource is consistent.
