I'm using a book, which makes use of BHS-references.
The hyperlink doesn't say that it is BHS.
Therefor, it points to wrong verses in my bible.
Is there a way to fix this, or do I need to contact the author?

    tieskedh, welcome to the forums!

    Regarding your problem:

    - The linking issue is FL's; the author or publisher might only get involved if there's egregious publishing errors (Tov's Critical OT a good example).

    - Typically, FL and forumites strongly encourage specific resource linking, where a point demands the specific resource. Bible translations are good examples.

    - Absent knowing which resource you're referring to, the easy workaround, is to prioritize your BHS. Not optimal, but do-able.

    Thank you!

    I was talking about "A handbook on the Jewish Roots of the Christian Faith". I reported some "typos" before I knew that there were multiple nummerings.

    I'll look into it!

    Please point to a specific instance of this - on a quick random check the references seemed to work for me
