Hello,Recently a person interested in the Catholic bible in French told me about the mapping problems between Catholic versification and the kjva concerning Esther. So I'm bringing up the question of a new Catholic versification that could better deal with this kind of problem and at the same time incorporate some of the errors in current Catholic versifications. I should mention that two versifications for French Bibles have been added since my proposal for a new Catholic versification, which was made long before these versifications were added, and which was not favorably received at the time. In our case, the number of Bibles that follow this versification is simply enormous, since the majority of Catholic Bibles do. I would also add that the LXX versification is not entirely correct. There are no LXX today that put 16 chapters to Esther. Ralph's already uses letters to integrate Greek passages into the text. In fact, Catholic versification simply follows Ralph's. So I suggest that we seriously reopen this question with concrete suggestions. For my part, the suggestion is simple: convert the numbers in the Greek passages into verses and offset the numbered verses in the same chapters. I'll copy you on what that might look like.
