lemma - Eg. c/m/6529

morph - Eg. HC/R/Ncmsc

id - Eg. 018xz. This is a unique, immutable id for every word in the Hebrew Bible. The first two digits represent the KJV book number, and the last three are random. (Likewise will be done for the BHP and UGNT versions of the Greek New Testment.) The purpose of this id is two-fold. First, it allows software to easily associate other data with particular words in the original texts. Second, it helps facilitate textual criticsm. That is, another Hebrew Bible codex could utilize the same ids wherever words align, and create new ids where new words are found. Then, a software program can both highlight the discrepencies and maintain data associations build for another codex where words are consistent.

HomeFiles, along with index.html provide a simple home page for the project, see The OpenScriptures Hebrew Bible

MAPM contains our work with the Miqra according to the Mesorah These were done in cooperation with Rabbi Kadish, for comparison with the OSHB. The MapM has since progressed, so our files may not be up to date.

OSHB Graphics contains the OSHB logo graphics, for crediting or linking to our resources. See the readme in that directory for more details.

structure contains a demo of OSHB Verse, for displaying verses of the Hebrew Bible divided by the cantillation hierarchy. This is a simple implementation for using the n attributes that have been added, for recording and editing the cantillation divisions.

Normalisation is a process by which sequences of characters in text that can be variously encoded but are semantically identical are treated as identically encoded. (p. 8)

Each book is a key, value pair in the Object.
The key is the book name
The value is an array of chapters
Each chapter is an array of verses
Each verse is an array of words
Each word is an array of the following
[ 'wordString', 'lemma', 'morphology' ]

stripPointing: This will remove all non-letter characters from the Hebrew words. These characters are a later addition in the history of the text.
removeLemmaTypes: Some Strongs numbers have an additional type in the form of a letter. This isn't implemented in the strongs dictionary, so this option will remove them.
stripHFromMorph: To keep the output as light as possible we can strip the 'H' from the start of each morph code
prefixLemmasWithH: To differentiate Greek and Hebrew strongs numbers we can add an additional H at the start
remapVerses: The versification in Hebrew and English bibles is different. This option maps the Hebrew verses to the English ones.
