I was exchanging emails with Christian [1] about online document structure when I mentioned The Electric King James Bible [2] and it's rather unique addressing scheme. I came up with that 25 years ago [Good Lord! Has it been that long? —Sean] [Yes. —Editor] [Yikes! —Sean] to precisely pull up Bible verses—anywhere from one verse to an entire book. Of all the Bible sites across the Intarwebs I've come across since have never used such an elegant, and to me, obvious, way of referencing the Bible online. Usually they use a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) format like <https://bible.example.org/?bible=kj&book=Genesis&chapter=1&start_verse=1&end_verse=1>.
But Christian mentioned Sefaria [3] as using my method, and true enough, it does! <https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.6:9-9:17> does indeed go to the Noah's Ark story [4]. I think that's neat! I don't know if they were inspired by my site (unlikely, but not completely out of the relms of possibility) or just came up with it on their own, but it's nice to see someone else is using an easy to hack URL form for Bible references.
There are differences though—my site only brings up the requested material, whereas Sefaria implements a bidirectional “Scroll Of Doom” where additional material appears when you go up or down. I can't say I'm a fan of that, but it apparently works for them.
