Possibly a BUG; more likely I don't understand.

There was an error rendering this rich post.

The book of Odes, with one exception (The Gloria) is comprised of texts extracted from other books of the Bible. I was attempting to find which Bibles in my collection had the book of Odes using the search argument milestone:bible:Odes and was surprised to see the Prayer of Manasseh which is in the book of Odes appearing under that name not as Odes 12. But no other odes appeared. I can't figure out why the book name Odes was not respected, and if it is not respected, why only for chapter 12?

FYI

Chapters of this book as presented by Rahlfs are:[3]
First Ode of Moses (Exodus 15:1–19)
Second Ode of Moses (Deuteronomy 32:1–43)
Prayer of Anna, the Mother of Samuel (1 Samuel 2:1–10)
Prayer of Habakkuk (Habakkuk 3:2–19)
Prayer of Isaiah (Isaiah 26:9–20)
Prayer of Jonah (Jonah 2:3–10)
Prayer of Azariah (Daniel 3:26–45, a deuterocanonical portion)
Song of the Three Holy Children (Daniel 3:52–90, a deuterocanonical portion)
The Magnificat; Prayer of Mary the Theotokos (Luke 1:46–55)
The Song of the Vineyard: A Canticle of Isaiah (Isaiah 5:1–7)
Prayer of Hezekiah (Isaiah 38:10–20)
Prayer of Manasseh, King of Judah when he was held captive in Babylon (ref. in 2 Chronicles 33:11–13 and appears also as a separate deuterocanonical book or as 2 Chronicles 37)
Nunc dimittis; Prayer of Simeon (Luke 2:29–32)
Gloria in Excelsis Deo; Canticle of the Early Morning (some lines from Luke 2:14, and Psalm 35:10-11; 118:12; and 144:2)

I'm not fully understanding your repro steps so it's likely my answer won't be sufficient.

It looks to me like it's related to how we've mapped various Bible data types. Odes doesn't exist in the NRSV but the verse map for Rahlfs (Bible (LXX-R) maps Odes 12 to the Prayer of Manasseh in Bible (NRSV) and render the result using a Title Table for Prayer of Manasseh, not Odes.

Kyle, at least you've headed me in a direction that might lead to an explanation. Thanks.
