Most of these were unified and corrected in works such as the Scofield Bible that was used as the Reference Text for the earlier editions of the KJV module. Though there is much to be gained by examining the Blayney's 1769, it would be a retrograde step to revert the KJV module to his spellings. |

+ | === The five book divisions in Psalms === | ||
+ | |||
+ | <blockquote> | ||
+ | "The Psalm book divisions aren’t thought to be original, but rather a Masoretic inclusion, although they probably were in Jewish tradition before the time of Christ – I believe there’s at least one Qumran manuscript that indicates the divisions. The Leningrad Codex (MT dated AD 1008) doesn’t include them, and our copy of Bomberg (1566) has them only as small insertions akin to the traditional reading marks in the Torah. Ginsburg’s MT, which we print, has them more clearly delineated, but why he doesn’t say. He says of his edition, ‘The Psalms have no Sections [i.e. traditional reading divisions], as each Psalm constitutes a continuous and undivided whole’ (Introduction to the Massoretico-Critical Edition of the Hebrew Bible [London: TBS, 1897], p. 17). | ||
+ | |||
+ | The book divisions seem to mark theme breaks in the Psalms (particularly the first three books) and may well have been used as liturgical groupings. Problems arise as to where the actual breaks should come, particularly with books 4 and 5, as they’re not consistent in mss that contain them. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Should we include them? We include a lot of other ‘extra-biblical’ material, such as chapter and verse breaks. But as the book breaks are normally classified as superscripts along the lines of those we now omit from the New Testament epistles, probably not. However, I think our lack of these divisions is more a matter of tradition than evidence: they don’t appear in the 1611, or in CUP or Oxford editions of the AV." | ||

+ | This section is to record observed differences between the wording in the KJV module study notes and the wording of the note in the Blayney 1769 reference text (ignoring for this purpose that these notes in the module also have a '''catchWord''' element and corresponding text).

+ | |||
+ | == Names that should have more than one type attribute == | ||
+ | |||
+ | A fair number of proper names in the KJV have (in effect) more than one '''type''' attribute. e.g. The same word can be found as <tt>type="person"</tt> and elsewhere as <tt>type="geographic"</tt>. Even the word '''Adam''' occurs in one verse as a place name. | ||
+ | :(Joshua 3:16) That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho. | ||

+ | == Five locations where small caps is inappropriate for the divine name == | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are five verses in the OT where the divine name `LORD` is printed in uppercase. In each case, this is because it is part of a longer phrase that's printed in capital letters. These are: | ||
+ | * Exodus 28:36 'HOLINESS TO THE LORD' | ||
+ | * Exodus 39:30 'HOLINESS TO THE LORD' | ||
+ | * Deuteronomy 28:58 'THE LORD THY GOD' | ||
+ | * Jeremiah 23:6 'THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS' | ||
+ | * Zechariah 14:20 'HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Currently, these are still marked up as `<divineName>Lord</divineName>` and rendered by SWORD using small caps. | ||
+ | No doubt, this was as a result of a global search/replace action when the divine name markup was originally applied in version 2.3 back in 2006. For these 5 exceptional locations, the simplest solution is `<divineName>LORD</divineName>`. [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] ([[User talk:David Haslam|talk]]) 13:34, 28 July 2022 (UTC) | ||

+ | === Particular cases === | ||
+ | I have just discovered that there are 4 instances of a '''w''' element that has a '''morph''' attribute but no '''lemma''' attribute! | ||
+ | |||
+ | All four relate to the same word! The 4 locations are in '''Ezra 5:3,6; 6.6,13''' | ||

+ | Line 140120: <w morph="strongMorph:TH8674">to them Tatnai</w>, | ||

+ | </pre> | ||
+ | NB. ''These line numbers related to a re-arranged XML file''. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I think this is a markup error! | ||
+ | These should actually have <code>lemma="strong:H08674"</code> and no '''morph''' attribute! | ||
+ | |||
+ | Fixing this would reduce the number of numeric <code>strongMorph:TH</code> codes to 134 and would remove the overlap of such codes with the range of Strong's numbers for Hebrew. [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] ([[User talk:David Haslam|talk]]) 12:55, 20 June 2023 (UTC) | ||

+ | === Sabtechah or Sabtecha ? === | ||
+ | * In '''Genesis 10:7''', Blayney's folio reads "Sabtechah" where the KJV module has "Sabtecha". | ||
+ | |||
+ | :cf. I checked '''1 Chronicles 1:9''' in the Gale ECCO reprint. That has "Sabte-cha" where the hyphen is at the line boundary. It’s the only other occurrence for this name. [[User:David Haslam|David Haslam]] ([[User talk:David Haslam|talk]]) 08:49, 23 June 2023 (UTC) | ||
+ | |||
+ | ::"Sabtecha" is more consistent with usual KJV practice given the underlying Hebrew. Generally speaking, in the Old Testament the KJV ends a word in "-ah" only when that word ends in a silent '''ה'''. But Sabtecha in Genesis is spelled '''סבתכא''', so usual KJV practice would be to read "Sabtecha" here.

+ | |||
+ | A search of the KJV source text for the PCRE <code>\w+sel(f|ves)</code> currently matches 1713 instances in total. | ||

+ | === Investigation === | ||
+ | |||
+ | <blockQuote> | ||
+ | I've started a little bit of picking through the remaining "missing" Strong's numbers. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Usually, Strong would give one entry per Greek verb -- that is, he would have one entry for the root verb or dictionary form, and then all the various inflections would be subsumed under that heading. | ||
+ | |||
+ | G33 is an exception to that rule. It represents <code>αγε</code>, the second person singular imperative of <code>αγω</code>, which is represented by G71. The reason for this is that while G71 generally means "to bring" or "to lead", its form <code>αγε</code> occasionally takes on a more specialized meaning where it is a bit like an interjection. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As in James 4:13 -- '''Go to now''', ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Or James 5:1 -- '''Go to now''', ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In both cases, the CrossWire module gives the verb under its root form, G71. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This issue of inflected vs. root forms seems to also be the issue with G39, though this one confuses me a bit. G39 is an inflected form of G40, and when I search <code>kjvfull.xml</code>, it would seem that G40 is what CrossWire is using in Hebrews 8:2. However, in Xiphos, G39 is indicated. So I am not sure whether there has been some revision process by which the inflected G39 has been replaced with G40 here. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Likewise, G149 is the neuter of G150, G158 is the neuter of G159, G197 is a form of G196. Likewise, G471 is arguably a highly irregular form of G483, much in the same relationship as G542 has to G872. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Without exhaustively going through all the one hundred or so examples of missing words, I would hazard a guess that most, if not all, are "missing" because the methodology behind CrossWire's Strong's markup tends toward signaling root words rather than their inflections or variants. | ||

Spelling issues in Blayney's 1769
Though modern editions of the KJV claim to be essentially the same as the 1769 standard, Blayney's work still contained some archaic spellings and some inconsistent spellings. Most of these were unified and corrected in works such as the Scofield Bible that was used as the Reference Text for the earlier editions of the KJV module. Though there is much to be gained by examining the Blayney's 1769, it would be a retrograde step to revert the KJV module to his spellings.
For further details please visit my user page: User:David Haslam/Benjamin Blayney's 1769 KJV.
David Haslam 10:37, 25 January 2016 (MST)
- I don't think it'd be a backward step. But if so, maybe we fork the KJV as what we have now is not the 1769 Blayney, but rather Old Scofield? There is considerable value in having an accurate text for the Blayney edition. --Dmsmith 11:11, 25 January 2016 (MST)
- Rather than forking the module (which would lead to a lot of extra work), I would prefer to use OSIS markup to record spelling (and punctuation) variants in the various printed editions 1769 to present. David Haslam 04:26, 27 January 2016 (MST)
- It's not as if we don't already have another related module which has become outdated compared to the KJV, namely the KJVA module with the Apocrypha included. The Protocanonical Books for that should ideally have been made to track the KJV module in terms of updates. David Haslam 04:29, 27 January 2016 (MST)

catchWord and osisRef with @s[word]
Not sure why this got removed?
- Add osisRef to catchWord (for now at least, mainly for single keywords).

List of ordinary words that are not found with all lowercase in the KJV main text
- This list may not be complete.
The following 41 ordinary words are not found with all lowercase letters: (i.e. these capitalised words are not names)
Accounting Acquaint Alleluia Associate Backbiters Blotting Choosing Distributing Endeavouring Enflaming Enviest Ephphatha Esteeming Finally God’s Godhead God-ward Hosanna I Launch Listen Maranatha MENE Musician O Outcast Owe PERES Produce Providing Rabbi Raca Remembering Revilest Submitting Talitha TEKEL Traitors UPHARSIN Wherewithal Yes
This list can be used for fine tuning the filtering of a complete words list in order to tabulate names that occur in the KJV text.
My big list now includes words that are in the canonical Psalm titles. David Haslam (talk) 14:39, 5 February 2017 (MST)
- MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN all appear in one verse, Daniel 5:25 and in the following three verses Daniel explains them; verse 28 leading with the root word PERES. So these five capitalized words are a special case. David Haslam (talk) 08:13, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
List of ordinary words that are also names
- This list may not be complete.
The following 44 ordinary words in the KJV are also names:[1][2][3][4]
Angel Apostle Bishop Branch Creator Death Devil Faithful Father Ghost God Governor Hell Holy High Judge King Lamb Light Lion Lord Lot Master No On One Priest Prince Prophet Put Rock Saviour Sceptre Seer Shepherd Sin Son Spirit Star Strength Sun True Word Wormwood
Notes:
- ↑ That is, they are found capitalised mid-sentence.
- ↑ Some of these are symbolic names for Christ.
- ↑ This list currently excludes uppercase words.
- ↑ Names in the KJV that are ordinary words outside the KJV will not be listed.

There are several patterns that match multi-word names in which the two main words are capitalized:
- Name Name
- Name of Name
- Name of the Name
- Name the Name
- Name in Name
- Name at Name
There are also some three word names, such as:
- Lord Jesus Christ
Yet there are also names in which the major part of the name is not capitalized:
- Isaiah 35:8: And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
- Jeremiah 16:21: Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD.
- Jeremiah 19:6: Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.
- Lamentations 2:15: All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?
- Ezekiel 39:11: And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamon–gog.
- Amos 5:27: Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
- Zechariah 6:12: And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
- Acts 27:8: And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
- Acts 28:15: And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.
- Revelation of John 19:13: And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

- Agreed. I didn't then know how to do small-caps in the wiki. David Haslam (talk) 10:28, 5 August 2017 (MDT)
- The way that's done in wiki is by using
<font style="font-variant:small-caps">Lord</font>
- David Haslam (talk) 08:28, 21 June 2023 (UTC) - Curiously enough, within in-line wiki style
<code>...</code>
the font style still gets applied! And I even had to insert a ZWNJ to display that correctly. David Haslam (talk) 08:35, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
Two suspect apostrophes in the apocrypha
A search of the DC books for the regexp [^s]\x{2019}\s gave two matches:
- Sirach 8:1: Strive not with a mighty man’ lest thou fall into his hands.
- II Maccabees 7:39: Than the king’ being in a rage, handed him worse than all the rest, and took it grievously that he was mocked.
Most online versions are the same. Both items look suspicious. They don't meet any grammatical rule involving possessives. Further research required. David Haslam (talk) 13:15, 14 February 2017 (MST)
- I also think the first word in 2Macc.7.39 ought to be "Then" and not "Than". David Haslam (talk) 13:22, 14 February 2017 (MST)
Both verses would appear more correct if the right single quotation mark was replaced with a comma:
- Sirach 8:1: Strive not with a mighty man, lest thou fall into his hands.
- II Maccabees 7:39: Then the king, being in a rage, handed him worse than all the rest, and took it grievously that he was mocked.
cf. There are 80 matches in the DC books to the pattern ", being ". David Haslam (talk) 13:28, 14 February 2017 (MST)
- Decided to make these changes. David Haslam (talk) 01:16, 15 February 2017 (MST)
Hyphenated words in the KJV Apocrypha
There are only three hyphenated words in the deuterocanonical books, all place names:
Beth-horon Cades-Barne En-gaddi
But are there any other names in the DC books that ought to be hyphenated?
Phaath Moab Pahath Moab
The spelling difference between 1Esd.5.11 and 1Esd.8.31 also needs to be checked.
cf. Pahath–moab occurs six times in the KJV. This is the only hyphenated name in the KJV that occurs with a space in place of the hyphen in the DC books. Note the case difference too. David Haslam (talk) 09:07, 19 February 2017 (MST)
Spelling: ax or axe ?
Another hapax legomenon to consider:
Baruch 6:15: He hath also in his right hand a dagger and an ax: but cannot deliver himself from war and thieves.
Should this be axe as some online versions have it? cf. The KJV has 13 instances of 'axe' and none of 'ax' other than this in the DC book. David Haslam (talk) 15:20, 14 February 2017 (MST)
- Decided to make this change. David Haslam (talk) 01:15, 15 February 2017 (MST)
- Blayney has ax. --Dmsmith (talk) 13:07, 25 February 2017 (MST)
- This change is to be reverted, and the 13 instances of the Cambridge spelling 'axe' are to changed to the Oxford spelling 'ax'. David Haslam (talk) 14:14, 16 March 2017 (MDT)
Bipolar names in the DC books
Here is a counted list of the bipolar names (aka polynym) found in the KJV DC books:
00002 Antiochus Epiphanes 00002 Antiochus Eupator 00001 Judas John’s 00007 Judas Maccabeus 00001 Judith Holofernes 00001 Jupiter Olympius 00001 Massias Israel 00001 Pahath Moab 00001 Phaath Moab 00002 Ptolemeus Philometor 00001 Quintus Memmius 00001 Simon Chosameus 00001 Titus Manlius
I have excluded the pattern "Persians Belemus" found in 1Esd.2.16 which is really two names.
I have also excluded three locations where a punctuation mark was missing. David Haslam (talk) 10:07, 19 February 2017 (MST)
Replace list for Oxford Text Archive book names
This list of book names suffices to replace those in the file KJV.1060 downloaded from the OTA with proper OSIS Book Abbreviations:
Pss Ps Qoh Eccl Cant Song 1Esdr 1Esd 4Ezra 2Esd AddDan PrAzar 1Mac 1Macc 2Mac 2Macc 1Thes 1Thess 2Thes 2Thess Tit Titus
In addition to the above, in order to match Versification=KJVA:
- AddEsth must be reversified to start at 10.4
- The note in SirP must move into Sir and the book SirP removed
- EpJer must be reversified as Bar.6
The other books already had the correct book abbreviation. David Haslam (talk) 04:28, 12 March 2017 (MDT)
Oxford Text Archive - misled by the Complete Bible Genealogy site claims
I have removed this from the External Links section:
- Bible. English. Authorized – at the Oxford Text Archive[1][2]
Note:
- ↑ according to Complete Bible Genealogy, this is actually the text for the Oxford 1769 Blayney edition, albeit the description has "Exact edition not recorded." It's the complete text for 82 books including the Apocrypha. The text format is TEI Lite. The text is without cross-refs or notes, apart from 6 explanatory notes for some DC books. It omits the canonical Psalm titles. It also omits the non-canonical colophons to the Epistles. David has converted the source text to OSIS XML.
- ↑ A comparison of the text with that of our KJV & KJVA modules has led me to the conclusion that the KJV.1060 download is NOT that of the Blayney Oxford Edition. It has too many differences and typos to be a reliable independent source. Based on its spelling inquire rather than enquire, it's actually derived from a Cambridge University Press edition. Even so, there are serious spelling errors among the typos.

Cambridge spellings in our Oxford based module
I've been comparing in detail the differences between the Cambridge and Oxford editions of the KJV, using a number of sources. My work confirms that we need to correct a small number of minor textual discrepancies in the SWORD module. There's a residue of Cambridge spellings in our KJV module. David Haslam (talk) 03:18, 15 March 2017 (MDT)
Textual emendations and module variants?
The new focus on the observed differences between Cambridge spellings and Oxford spellings has brought fresh impetus to the possibility of using OSIS variants in the KJV & KJVA modules. This topic is added as a placeholder for further discussion on this. My initial proposal is:
- Variant 1 = Oxford 1769 Standard Edition of Benjamin Blayney
- Variant 2 = Old Scofield Edition
- Variant 3 = Cambridge Edition (yet to choose the suitable reference text)
David Haslam (talk) 14:10, 16 March 2017 (MDT)

- For a related discussion in sword-devel during February 2014, see OSIS Variants - do we need a delimiter?
- David Haslam (talk) 09:46, 19 March 2017 (MDT)
- Currently, "SWORD does not support more than two variants". Is this still true? David Haslam (talk) 09:47, 19 March 2017 (MDT)

The possessive form of the divine name
The correct method (which is what we use) is to have<divineName>Lord’s</divineName>
and not <divineName>Lord</divineName>’s
.
See Rendering the divine name with small caps for details. Our wiki doesn't have the small caps template.
The first instance is in Exodus 9:29. Even so, with the typography of the Blayney edition, the sizes of the lowercase letter 's' and the small caps letter 's' are identical, so this is actually a difficult choice to make. The problem is that in modern digital fonts, the size of small caps letters are intermediate in height between lowercase letters and uppercase letters. I think it's for this reason that we see differences between modern KJV printed editions in this matter. Semantically, it makes more sense for the whole of the possessive form to be within the same markup element, rather than for the apostrophe and letter 's' to be outside the element.
David Haslam (talk) 04:36, 18 March 2017 (MDT)
- Aside: The KJVPCE module has the apostrophe and letter s outside the OSIS markup in 108 places:
<divineName>Lord</divineName>’s
. This was not best practice. David Haslam (talk) 04:34, 23 March 2017 (MDT)
Unhyphenated names in the main text that also appear with the en dash
Excluding names found in the notes, these are the only unhyphenated names in the main text that also appear elsewhere in the main text containing the en dash:
00003 Abiezer 00008 Bethlehem 00001 Rabsaris 00008 Rabshakeh
The corresponding counts for those with the en dash are:
00004 Abi–ezer 00031 Beth–lehem 00002 Rab–saris 00008 Rab–shakeh
This is a strange inconsistency! Maybe it's there in the Blayney 1769 Oxford Edtion.
David Haslam (talk) 04:03, 23 March 2017 (MDT)
- As regards the 8 instances of
Bethlehem
, these are all in the NT. David Haslam (talk) 08:52, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
An observation about 'hyphenated' names in the OT
All the names that contain an en dash in the KJV module are without such 'hyphenation' in the "Pure Cambridge Edition" module KJVPCE. Currently this is also the case for the KJV Oxford 1769 text on Wikisource, though that can be systematically edited. David Haslam (talk) 04:27, 23 March 2017 (MDT)
- The KJVPCE module was probably built using the file "TEXT-PCE.txt" (dated 2010-06-28) downloaded from the website specified in the TextSource.
- The Rich Text File "KJB-PCE-RTF.rtf" (dated 2009-02-19) from the same website does contain hyphens. This would be a better starting point for any module update. David Haslam (talk) 14:21, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
Trinitarian Bible Society
FIO. The reference text used by TBS for their own settings of the AV is the Concord Reference Bible published by Cambridge University Press, "widely regarded as being the standard text of the KJV". "Never use the CUP Ruby Bible KJV text to check anything – it is error strewn." (Philip Hopkins, personal email to David Haslam (talk) dated 2014-02-17). David Haslam (talk) 07:33, 5 August 2017 (MDT)
- "CUP’s collection of Bibles has been built up over decades with different editions of the Bible being acquired from different publishers such as Eyre and Spottiswoode and others that have been bought out by CUP over the years. There is no synergy between the different editions, sadly, and all have a different stream of editors and proofreaders that have worked on them giving rise to minor variances in the text of nearly every edition." (Similar email dated 2014-02-18). David Haslam (talk) 07:39, 5 August 2017 (MDT)
The five book divisions in Psalms
"The Psalm book divisions aren’t thought to be original, but rather a Masoretic inclusion, although they probably were in Jewish tradition before the time of Christ – I believe there’s at least one Qumran manuscript that indicates the divisions. The Leningrad Codex (MT dated AD 1008) doesn’t include them, and our copy of Bomberg (1566) has them only as small insertions akin to the traditional reading marks in the Torah. Ginsburg’s MT, which we print, has them more clearly delineated, but why he doesn’t say. He says of his edition, ‘The Psalms have no Sections [i.e. traditional reading divisions], as each Psalm constitutes a continuous and undivided whole’ (Introduction to the Massoretico-Critical Edition of the Hebrew Bible [London: TBS, 1897], p. 17).
The book divisions seem to mark theme breaks in the Psalms (particularly the first three books) and may well have been used as liturgical groupings. Problems arise as to where the actual breaks should come, particularly with books 4 and 5, as they’re not consistent in mss that contain them.
Should we include them? We include a lot of other ‘extra-biblical’ material, such as chapter and verse breaks. But as the book breaks are normally classified as superscripts along the lines of those we now omit from the New Testament epistles, probably not. However, I think our lack of these divisions is more a matter of tradition than evidence: they don’t appear in the 1611, or in CUP or Oxford editions of the AV."

Textual discrepancies in KJV study notes
This section is to record observed differences between the wording in the KJV module study notes and the wording of the note in the Blayney 1769 reference text (ignoring for this purpose that these notes in the module also have a catchWord element and corresponding text). David Haslam (talk) 10:39, 5 August 2017 (MDT)
- Ps.119.24 "Heb. men of my counsel" should be "Heb. men of counsel"
- Ps.119.42 "... reproveth ..." should be "... reproacheth ..."
Names that should have more than one type attribute
A fair number of proper names in the KJV have (in effect) more than one type attribute. e.g. The same word can be found as type="person" and elsewhere as type="geographic". Even the word Adam occurs in one verse as a place name.
- (Joshua 3:16) That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.
Assigning the type attribute to the name element for such words would require a detailed appreciation of the context. It's not amenable to scripting. David Haslam (talk) 05:17, 7 August 2017 (MDT)
Corrigendum for KJV - received in sword-devel 2017-12-17
Email from vtamara:
I'm using the latest http://crosswire.org/ftpmirror/pub/sword/packages/rawzip/KJV.zip
In Luke 16:9 it says:
<w lemma="strong:G3688 strong:G4633 lemma.TR:τας lemma.TR:σκηνας" morph="robinson:T-APF robinson:N-APF" src="18 20">habitations</w>.
However the word τας shown and that also appears (as τὰς) at https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/luk/16/9/t_concf_989009 corresponds to the strong number 3588 (instead of 3688).

divineName markup in the binomial "Lord God" ?
The KJV is strangely inconsistent in how the binomial name "Lord God" is styled in its typography. There are three different forms:
Count Text ----- -------- 00014 Lord God 00302 Lord GOD 00229 LORD God
NB. UPPERCASE is used to depict the style "small-caps" here.
It would be of scholarly interest to understand why there are these differences.

Five locations where small caps is inappropriate for the divine name
There are five verses in the OT where the divine name `LORD` is printed in uppercase. In each case, this is because it is part of a longer phrase that's printed in capital letters. These are:
- Exodus 28:36 'HOLINESS TO THE LORD'
- Exodus 39:30 'HOLINESS TO THE LORD'
- Deuteronomy 28:58 'THE LORD THY GOD'
- Jeremiah 23:6 'THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS'
- Zechariah 14:20 'HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD'
Currently, these are still marked up as `<divineName>Lord</divineName>` and rendered by SWORD using small caps. No doubt, this was as a result of a global search/replace action when the divine name markup was originally applied in version 2.3 back in 2006. For these 5 exceptional locations, the simplest solution is `<divineName>LORD</divineName>`. David Haslam (talk) 13:34, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- See MOD-435 in JIRA. David Haslam (talk) 18:55, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- These are fixed in KJV 3.1 (currently in Beta). David Haslam (talk) 10:11, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

There is no instance of TH8679
which corresponds to "Hebrew Word not translated in the English Version"[1] !
Discussion
At first, I had not found any dictionary module or database to interpret these codes. They were added during the earliest years of the KJV module. David Haslam (talk) 15:40, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
- Earlier versions of the Chinese Union Bible modules ChiUn & ChiUns also had similar Hebrew morphology markup, but for unknown reasons, the morph attribute values are in the form
"StrongsMorph:Hnnnn"
rather than"strongMorph:THnnnn"
. The range of numeric codes is the same as for the KJV, but some of the statistics are different. David Haslam (talk) 07:57, 19 June 2023 (UTC)- NB. The latest version of modules ChiUn and ChiUns no longer include any Hebrew morphology markup. They were rebuilt (2021-01-28) from the source files from http://bible.fhl.net/ David Haslam (talk) 16:04, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
- The leader of the STEPBible project has directed me to a website that includes the Hebrew morphology codes H8675 to H8809.
- First Gospel Publications © 2012 — All rights reserved.
- The main Hebrew page is http://lexiconcordance.com/hebrew/
- This has the title Hebrew & Aramaic Dictionary (Lexicon-Concordance)
- Strong's Hebrew Dictionary & Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon of the Old Testament
- The first morphology example is http://lexiconcordance.com/hebrew/8675.html

Notes:
Particular cases
I have just discovered that there are 4 instances of a w element that has a morph attribute but no lemma attribute!
All four relate to the same word! The 4 locations are in Ezra 5:3,6; 6.6,13
Line 140120: <w morph="strongMorph:TH8674">to them Tatnai</w>, Line 140169: <w morph="strongMorph:TH8674">that Tatnai</w>, Line 140475: <w morph="strongMorph:TH8674">Tatnai</w>, Line 140604: <w morph="strongMorph:TH8674">Tatnai</w>,
NB. These line numbers related to a re-arranged XML file.
I think this is a markup error!
These should actually have lemma="strong:H08674"
and no morph attribute!
Fixing this would reduce the number of numeric strongMorph:TH
codes to 134 and would remove the overlap of such codes with the range of Strong's numbers for Hebrew. David Haslam (talk) 12:55, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Blayney 1769 edition: quarto or folio?
Is our KJV reference text the quarto or the folio edition of Blayney? Might there be any differences between them? Would a proofreader need to check against both, or would one suffice? David Haslam (talk) 08:05, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
- The Gale ECCO facsimile reprint that I have (vol 2 of 4) matches the quarto edition. David Haslam (talk) 06:47, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- Dmsmith has the folio edition - a complete photocopy of the original (complete with all the front and back matter) and including the Deuterocanonical books. David Haslam (talk) 16:00, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- Might there be any places where the quarto and folio editions are different in detail? David Haslam (talk) 10:13, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
Punctuation issues?
These preliminary observations have been reported by a user:
- Gen.1.2 Blayney has no comma after "without form"
- Gen.2.9 Blayney has no comma after "sight"
There may be many more punctuation differences that have hitherto not been detected. David Haslam (talk) 08:22, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
Self-closing w elements
The KJV contains 6631 self-closing w elements. All but one of these are in the NT.
The one exception is in Gen.44.10 and is <w lemma="strong:H03651"/>
Including that, there are only 37 instances of lemma="strong:H03651"
The question is whether that one such instance in the OT was a mistake? David Haslam (talk)
- NB. Of those in the NT, 4111 are like this:
<w src="??" lemma="strong:G3588 lemma.TR:τον" morph="robinson:T-ASM"/>
- where ?? is the word position in the TR.
- Those in the NT were by design and correspond to where a word in the Greek TR is not translated. David Haslam (talk) 17:36, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
Words with ligatures in Blayney
Words containing the letter 'æ'
Strictly speaking this is not a ligature.[1][2][3]
Count Words with 'æ' ----- -------------- 2 Æneas 1 Ænon 5 Alphæus 4 Arimathæa 1 Bartimæus 1 Chaldæans 1 Epænetus 3 Galilæan 5 Galilæans 2 Hymenæus 1 Idumæa 1 Ituræa 43 Judæa 1 Lebbæus 1 Prætorium 2 Thaddæus 1 Timæus
Note:
- ↑ The list now excludes
Cesar
,Cesarea
andZaccheus
that were recently corrected for KJV 3.1 - ↑ Upon further inspection, similar corrections will be needed for the words
Æneas
,Alphæeus
,Arimathæa
,Bartimæus
,Chaldæans
,Galilæan
,Galilæans
,Judæa
,Prætorium
.
In all these cases,æ
should be replaced bye
(andÆ
byE
).Ænon
is fine, though. - ↑ Also,
Timæus
will need to be replaced withTimeus
in Mark 10:46. And in Mark 14:70, there is aGalilaean
where theae
should be replaced bye

Here is a counted list of words in the KJV that contain the digraph 'sk' that is sometimes (always?) printed as a typographical ligature in the Blayney 1769 Oxford edition. There is no Unicode codepoint for a "Latin small ligature sk" and there never will be!
1 Asked 3 Askelon 1 Hiskijah 127 asked 3 askest 12 asketh 9 asking 24 basket 15 baskets 9 foreskin 5 foreskins 1 goatskins 1 husks 1 sheepskins 6 taskmasters 1 tasks 1 unskilful

Corrigenda reported in June 2023
Sabtechah or Sabtecha ?
- In Genesis 10:7, Blayney's folio reads "Sabtechah" where the KJV module has "Sabtecha".
- cf. I checked 1 Chronicles 1:9 in the Gale ECCO reprint. That has "Sabte-cha" where the hyphen is at the line boundary. It’s the only other occurrence for this name. David Haslam (talk) 08:49, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
- "Sabtecha" is more consistent with usual KJV practice given the underlying Hebrew. Generally speaking, in the Old Testament the KJV ends a word in "-ah" only when that word ends in a silent ה. But Sabtecha in Genesis is spelled סבתכא, so usual KJV practice would be to read "Sabtecha" here. David Haslam (talk) 08:09, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
One word or two?
A user has reported that in some places Blayney has "my self" where the KJV module currently has "myself". e.g.Genesis 3:10: And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
A search of the KJV source text for the PCRE \w+sel(f|ves)
currently matches 1713 instances in total.
These are for the words (myself|thyself|himself|herself|itself|ourselves|yourselves|themselves)
.
That total includes the text in study notes. All of these instances require checking. David Haslam (talk) 08:54, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
- First indications are that
my self
&thy self
are the only instances of two words being used in the Blayney edition. David Haslam David Haslam (talk) 08:25, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
- cf. The single words
today
andtomorrow
do not occur in the KJV. Those instances are all with two wordsto day
andto morrow
- David Haslam (talk) 08:56, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
- The same user has since cross-checked every instance with Blayney's folio and found that in every case except Genesis 3:10, Blayney uses "myself". David Haslam (talk) 08:56, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- He also checked and found that in every case except in Genesis 13:10 (which has "thy self"), Blayney has "thyself". David Haslam (talk) 08:05, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
CrossWire's KJV policy in places where the Blayney 1769 had errors?
Is it CrossWire's goal to adhere to the 1769 text even in its errors?
Example
- In Genesis 18:27,30,31,32 the KJV module (v2.10.2) has the word "Lord" (with a capital 'L' and lowercase 'ord') - which is appropriate given that the Hebrew has Adonai in all four cases. In Blayney however, for all four verses, each instance of "Lord" is rendered with small-caps, as if the tetragrammaton had been used there.

Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible
A very useful resource that may help us to enhance the markup of the OT part of the KJV module is the Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible project on GitHub. This is the home of the OSHB module in the main CrossWire repository. David Haslam (talk) 15:50, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
Strong's Greek numbers missing from KJV
Here's a list of the Strong's numbers not used in the NT books:
G33, G39, G149, G158, G197, G471, G542, G566-G567, G933, G1302, G1400, G1418, G1488, G1498-G1499, G1508-G1509, G1511, G1526-G1527, G1536, G1691, G1698, G1700, G1970, G2036, G2067, G2070-G2071, G2075-G2077, G2208, G2248-G2249, G2252, G2254, G2257-G2258, G2277, G2396, G2402, G2444, G2467-G2468, G2499, G2534, G2568, G2717, G2926, G3165, G3176, G3185-G3187, G3203-G3302, G3362-G3364, G3378, G3386-G3387, G3391, G3397, G3415, G3427, G3450, G3603, G3801, G4054-G4056, G4191, G4208, G4235-G4236, G4275, G4277, G4280, G4387, G4452, G4458, G4483, G4571, G4671, G4675, G4706-G4707, G5023-G5026, G5104, G5120, G5123-G5130, G5209-G5210, G5213, G5216, G5224, G5600, G5607.
The highlighted range is exactly 100 numbers long, which may indicate a mistake in tracking progress when the numbers were being added. David Haslam (talk) 15:16, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
- In fact, the number 2717 and the range 3203-3302 were silently dropped in the first edition of Strong's Concordance "owing to changes in the enumeration while in progress, there were no words left for" them. David Haslam (talk) 07:32, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
Investigation
I've started a little bit of picking through the remaining "missing" Strong's numbers.
Usually, Strong would give one entry per Greek verb -- that is, he would have one entry for the root verb or dictionary form, and then all the various inflections would be subsumed under that heading.
G33 is an exception to that rule. It represents
αγε
, the second person singular imperative ofαγω
, which is represented by G71. The reason for this is that while G71 generally means "to bring" or "to lead", its formαγε
occasionally takes on a more specialized meaning where it is a bit like an interjection.As in James 4:13 -- Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
Or James 5:1 -- Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
In both cases, the CrossWire module gives the verb under its root form, G71.
This issue of inflected vs. root forms seems to also be the issue with G39, though this one confuses me a bit. G39 is an inflected form of G40, and when I search
kjvfull.xml
, it would seem that G40 is what CrossWire is using in Hebrews 8:2. However, in Xiphos, G39 is indicated. So I am not sure whether there has been some revision process by which the inflected G39 has been replaced with G40 here.Likewise, G149 is the neuter of G150, G158 is the neuter of G159, G197 is a form of G196. Likewise, G471 is arguably a highly irregular form of G483, much in the same relationship as G542 has to G872.
Without exhaustively going through all the one hundred or so examples of missing words, I would hazard a guess that most, if not all, are "missing" because the methodology behind CrossWire's Strong's markup tends toward signaling root words rather than their inflections or variants.
