In several places in the Old Testament, the verse numbering of the Hebrew text (BHS) differ from that of the Statenvertaling (SV) and the New Translation (NBG). In dergelijke gevallen wordt de versnummering van de Hebreeuwse tekst als leidraad genomen (zowel in het venster met bijbelvertalingen als in de uitleg), waarbij telkens tussen haakjes de afwijkende nummering vermeld is.
