Problems with the NET Bible (2nd Edition
Reading Zechariah, and it has plentiful typos. Very odd. I've had another problem cited earlier in another place with duplicate text. This particular volume needs a serious look.

Reid, I hope you have been using the Typo tool to report them, otherwise some more detail here would be appreciated.

Hey Dave, yes, I've been using the typo tool, but for these errors it isn't really the best. Let me give some examples.
Ex. 1: 1:1 In the eighth month of Darius’ second year, message came to the prophet Zechariah, son of Berechiah son of Iddo:
It dropped a word. Either it should read year, A message, or messageS. No way to tell.
Ex. 2: 1:7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month Shebat, in Darius’ second year, the Lord message came
Dropped the possessive on "Lord" (Lord's)
Like I said, not normal typos.

Here is a visual of Zec 1:1 comparing what we have in Logos with what is on Bible.org.
Logos Ed: In the eighth month of Darius’ second year, message came to the prophet Zechariah, son of Berechiah son of Iddo:

Thanks. We're already on this. We'll be releasing an RVI for the Old Testament soon and these will be fixed as part of it.

Not normal and your report provided a positive response!
Using Typo in other situations you can highlight the word(s) you underlined, provide what you think should be the text and make a comment. If numerous similar ones occur, I would also comment to that effect.
