public final class BibleInfo
extends Object

BibleInfo is a static class that deals with Book number conversions and similar. We start counting at 1 for books, chapters and verses (so Genesis=1, Revelation=66). However internally books start counting at 0 and go up to 65.

I've considered merging BibleInfo and PassageUtil since they are both supporting static only classes. However they are both non-trivial, so together they would be large, and there is a good dividing line between the 2.

                     throws NoSuchVerseException

Does the following represent a real verse?. It is code like this that makes me wonder if I18 is done well/worth doing. All this code does is check if the numbers are valid, but the exception handling code is huge :(

Parameters:

book - The book part of the reference.

chapter - The chapter part of the reference.

verse - The verse part of the reference.

Throws:

NoSuchVerseException - If the reference is illegal

validate

public static void validate(int[] ref)
                     throws NoSuchVerseException

Does the following represent a real verse?

Parameters:

ref - An array of 3 ints, book, chapter, verse

Throws:

NoSuchVerseException - If the reference is illegal

patch

public static int[] patch(int[] ref)

Fix up these verses so that they are as valid a possible. This is currently done so that we can say "Gen 1:1" + 31 = "Gen 1:32" and "Gen 1:32".patch() is "Gen 2:1".

There is another patch system that allows us to use large numbers to mean "the end of" so "Gen 1:32".otherPatch() gives "Gen 1:31". This could be useful to allow the user to enter things like "Gen 1:99" meaning the end of the chapter. Or "Isa 99:1" to mean the last chapter in Isaiah verse 1 or even "Rev 99:99" to mean the last verse in the Bible.

However I have not implemented this because I've used a different convention: "Gen 1:$" (OLB compatible) or "Gen 1:ff" (common comentary usage) to mean the end of the chapter - So the functionality is there anyway.

I think that getting into the habit of typing "Gen 1:99" is bad. It could be the source of surprises "Psa 119:99" is not what you'd might expect, and neither is "Psa 99:1" is you wanted the last chapter in Psalms - expecting us to type "Psa 999:1" seems like we're getting silly.

However dispite this maybe we should provide the functionality anyway.

Parameters:

ref - An array of 3 ints, book, chapter, verse. This array will be changed.

Returns:

The original array that has been patched.

verseCount

public static int verseCount(int book1,
                             int chapter1,
