Coats, George W. Genesis: With an Introduction to Narrative Literature. Vol. 1. The Forms of the Old Testament Literature. Grand Rapids, MI: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1983. uses the BHS verse mapping. My default Bible is the NRSV which uses the NRSV verse map which in Genesis sometimes has different chapter breaks.

In adding a Bible Outline Label, I'm having difficulty with adding the verse mapping to the Bible reference attribute. If I don't, I get the erroneous NRSV references. I can temporarily change my priorities to make the BHS my highest priority Bible but that is a major pain as I have to reset it for everything else.

How does FL expect me to handle this situation - building labels that FL has not gotten to with references using a different verse map than my default.Or put another way, how did FL handle this as they went through commentaries and introductions using a variety of verse maps?

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."
