Here is the file I fixed for making a .bbli Bible. This works on all latest versions e-Sword.

Attached File  B,1914 fixed for bbli type.rtf   24.38MB   12 downloads

So, you just need to build this from the Modules(4) menu

 

You might need to adjust some of the Hebrew transliterated text in Lamentations. Of course the other issue is it does not have the same versification as other Bibles, so that needs to be remembered. Especially true of Psalms.

Thank you.

It seems to me that:

soft return = continuing the verse before

hard return = another verse

soft + hard return = another chapter

 

Isn't it?

T4 looks for the verse reference say Gen 1:1 and then looks for a hard return, which closes the verse

 

 

Soft returns are used to give a poetic sort of representation, otherwise T4 would see that as the end of a verse and be looking for the next.. Gen 1:2

 
e-Sword sorts out where the next chapter is.

Thank you very much!

PS
1.The versifications on Psalms is deferent in Orthodox Bible, because the psalm 9 was split up in two, in protestant Bibles. Psalm 9, 21 in the Orthodox Bible, through the Protestant breaking of Psalm 9, becomes Psalm 10, 1 in the Protestant translation, and so on. The difference is kept until Psalm 147. Here, what is in the Orthodox Bible Psalm 147, 1, in the Protestant translations becomes Psalm 147, 12. Then, until Psalm 150, it is the same enumeration, but missing, in the Protestant Bible, Psalm 151 .

2. Other versification incompatibilities are due to the fact that the Old Testament in the Orthodox Bible is based on the Septuagint (which dates from the 3rd century, before Christ), while the Protestant Bibles are based on the Masoretic text (which dates from the 9th century, after Christ) . In the Masoretic text, certain texts were cut, which did not suit the rabbis, because they proved that our Lord Jesus Christ is the Messiah expected by the Jews. Therefore, the Masoretic text is shorter than the Septuagint and, as such, the Old Testament of the Protestant Bibles, being a censored text, is shorter than the Old Testament of the Orthodox Bible, which has more chapters and more verses.

No sott+hard return does not equal another chapter, you do not need to have a break of any kind between chapters in a bible module. Tooltip processes bible modules based on the book, chapter and verse numbers. The individual chapters will display in e-Sword correctly without any extra indications
