Numbering - gryphonshafer/Bible GitHub Wiki

Output from the previous work steps is a chapter's worth of content with absolutely no formatting, extremely minimal punctuation (probably sentences marked with periods only), and no verse numbering. This work step involves reading the content and adding verse numbering.

Verse numbering and chapter breaks are arbitrary references to the material. In and of themselves they are meaningless as far as meaning of the material. However, they are critical for referencing material. While verse breaks are often "wrong," in that they break in some cases at strange and confusing places, this project's content should use traditional verse breaking so verses from this translation can be compared to other translations.

As an example, consider the following completely not valid content for Hebrews 11:3-6. Content arriving to this phase may look like this:

By faith we understand to have been framed the worlds by a word of
God so as not out of things appearing the seen to have come into
being. By faith a greater sacrificed Abel than Cain offered to God
by which he obtained to be righteous testifying over the gifts of
him God and through it having died yet he speaks. By faith Enoch was
translated not to see death and not was found because translated him
God before For the translating of him he obtained witness to have
been. Pleasing to God without but faith it is impossible to please
God to believe for it is right the one approaching God that He is
and to those seeking out him a rewarder he becomes.

Adding verse numbering would result in content that looks like this:

|3| By faith we understand to have been framed the worlds by a word
of God so as not out of things appearing the seen to have come into
being. |4| By faith a greater sacrificed Abel than Cain offered to
God by which he obtained to be righteous testifying over the gifts
of him God and through it having died yet he speaks. |5| By faith
Enoch was translated not to see death and not was found because
translated him God before For the translating of him he obtained
witness to have been. |6| Pleasing to God without but faith it is
impossible to please God to believe for it is right the one
approaching God that He is and to those seeking out him a rewarder
he becomes.

Keep in mind that with OBML, line breaks are meaningless. Only block or section breaks have meaning. Given that blocks and other formatting will be built in at a later work stage, it's completely acceptable to have result content of this numbering stage be like this:

|3|
By faith we understand to have been framed the worlds by a word of
God so as not out of things appearing the seen to have come into
being.

|4|
By faith a greater sacrificed Abel than Cain offered to God by which
he obtained to be righteous testifying over the gifts of him God and
through it having died yet he speaks.

|5|
By faith Enoch was translated not to see death and not was found
because translated him God before For the translating of him he
obtained witness to have been.

|6|
Pleasing to God without but faith it is impossible to please God to
believe for it is right the one approaching God that He is and to
those seeking out him a rewarder he becomes.
