I was overjoyed to find David Stern's Jewish New Testament Commentary but rather dismayed to discover that after Acts 10 it doesn't sync. For instance, Acts 11 shows`no commentary and then when you go to Acts 12 it shows the commentary for Acts 11. By the time you get to Revelation 22 it's so out of sync it's showing the commentary for Revelation 10.

 

I don't know how to do this, but would any of you wonderful people know how to rework this module so it syncs, and be willing to do this for us? I and my thousands of Hebrew students at Holy Language Institute would be forever grateful!

 

It's here on my Google Drive: https://drive.google...iew?usp=sharing

 

[added note] It's also come to my attention that the last 11 chapters are missing. They could be added from here: https://kifa.kz/eng/...krovenie_01.php

 

Thank you!

Thank you!

 

I will start with a question from where did you download this module? 

 

I ask because it is not list here on Bible Support.

As to what is wrong with the module the biggest issue is that half of commentary for Revelation is missing from chapters 11-22

 

The second issue with the module is that e-Sword modules use what are called marks that look like this ÷ to establish each section of a commentary. Commentary modules can include individual verse comments, full chapter comments and complete book comment. The number of marks used to establish each section determines the type of comments 3 marks denotes whole book comments, two marks denotes chapter comments and a single mark denotes individual verse comments. 

The Jewish New Testament commentary module is set up with both full chapter and individual verse comments meaning that the file contains two sets of the comments both needing to be fixed. This is not a big deal and can be fixed quite easily, however the missing portion of Revelation is different matter even with the marks fixed Revelation will remain incomplete

Thank you for your help! I downloaded it from here: https://www.dropbox....syhU660WOa?dl=0

 It contains several resources I haven't been able to find anywhere else.

 

There's an online version here that could be used to add the missing chapters: https://kifa.kz/eng/...krovenie_01.php Any chance you'd want to take on this little project?

I have fixed all of the problems with marks so far

[Izzy Avraham]

You're amazing! Does that include adding the text for those missing chapters? If so how could I get the finished product from you?

I have not added in the missing text just yet, I wanted to get the marks fixed first. I am going to start working on the text now and will post the repaired module to this page when I am done

You are Welcome.

 

I would like to suggest that you download a program called e-Sword Tooltip NT this is the tool for creating modules for use with e-Sword. The program is very easy to use once you become familiar with it and learn how it works, the program comes with a comprehensive 131 page user manual. With Tooltip you can create a number of different type of modules including bibles, dictionaries, commentaries, reference books and more.

Here is the link to download e-Sword Tooltip:
