TIP of the day: When is 4:2 actually 3:20? Or is it the reverse?

Yes, I'm having a bit of fun. Pick a Bible of your choice. Look up Malachi 3:20. Now look up Malachi 4:2. If you're using a paper Bible you may have problems but if you are using Logos you shouldn't. Depending upon your preferred translation, your results may be a bit different than mine.

1. In the Go Box I try to enter Malachi 3:20 ...but the drop down insists I add a NABRE in front of it. Why NABRE? Because my highest priority Bible does not have a Malachi 3:20. NABRE is my highest priority Bible that has Malachi 3:20.

2. I accept the Logos suggestion.

3. When the layout opens (I simplified the default layout), it opens my highest priority Bible to Malachi 4:2. Why? Because 4:2 and 3:20 are actually the same verse - simply one set of Bibles divides Malachi into 3 chapters while another set of Bibles divides it into 4. So watch what happens as I select the verse, right click and choose Search.

4. For the NRSV my Search uses a DataTypeName of BibleNRSV and the 4:2 designation.

5. For NABRE it uses BibleNABRE and Mal 3:20/

6. For NJB it uses BibleNJB and Mal 3:20

7. For NEB it uses BibleNEB and 4:2 ... Logos is automatically making the conversion for me. Note that the Library results are always the same.

8. The Wiki contains a list of the Bible Datatypes. I'm not sure that it is kept up to date but I've not found any missing values.

9. The Information Panel for a Bible will indicate the verse map used and therefore the BibleTypeName.

10.The Wiki also gives a summary of book - # of chapters - # of verses by chapter so that you can identify places where the versification may differ.
