Bad Link in TDNT

I just found a link that takes me to the wrong passage. It's only 1 verse off, so it's close, but still confusing if you don't notice that it's one verse off. It is early in the section under Strong’s Greek #2106. εὐδοκέω

The link for psalm 43:3 in section a. takes you to psalm 43:2.

Thanks,

The link for psalm 43:3 in section a. takes you to psalm 43:2.

I normally report these through typo reporting (right-click > Selection (from rt.side of pop-up)> Report typo). This one is sort of complicated by the fact that the Psalms in the LXX are divided differently by both chapter and verse. The hyperlink should point to Psalm 44:3 in the English Bible, and in the LXX it should be Psalm 43:4. (In the Hebrew Bible it should be Psalm 44:4, but that's irrelevant to a discussion about εὐδοκέω.)

Whoever tagged this reference missed this confusing discrepancy.

(I've reported it as a typo.)

Yeah.... what he said...

Good job figuring that out Richard. Thanks for reporting it properly. I just knew that the verse it showed me when I hovered my mouse had nothing to do with the word I was investigating. I wanted to handle it properly so that it didn't cause others problems, but didn't have the time myself to research exactly what to do with it. At any rate, thanks.

It wasn't that hard to figure out. In case you're interested, what I did was link a LXX with an English Bible and the LES (Logos' translation of the LXX - this makes it easier for me to confirm what I'm looking at, as I'm no Greek scholar). I navigated to the next link in the text (Ps. 149:4), found the word in the LXX, right clicked and used "Search this resource" to find the right Psalm and verse in the LXX. I know it sounds complicated but it took about two minutes. I then simply confirmed that I was in the right place, and decided to check on the Hebrew Bible as well (just because). It actually took longer to write up my conclusions than to arrive at them.

At times incorrect hyper-links can be very, very hard to figure out. This was an easy one.

This has been quite helpful. Before this conversation I had never even noticed the "report typo" option. That will be so much easier next time I notice something.
