domain: the 1934 edition’s copyright was not renewed, and the 1929 edition’s, renewed in 1957, ran out at
the end of 2024. Keyed by Paul Houghton for CrossWire’s TCR module. Changed for Deep Dive Bible: list
headings our source lost written anew by AI (Claude, by Anthropic).

Made for Deep Dive Bible by AI agents (Claude, by Anthropic) at Larry Sanger’s direction: the verse links.

What is here:

part_of, description, html, source_url.

the site and its ZWI file’s name) (26,832 rows). Columns: slug, title, book, chapter, verse, verse_end.

Books are named by their USFM codes (GEN, EXO, … REV; the Apocrypha’s as TOB, JDT, 1MA, and so on). Verse
numbers are the KJV’s; verse 0 is the whole chapter, and a blank verse_end is the one verse.
