HI,  
You can create a new table where all the books of the Bible are, then create a relationship with your Old Testament table. In your design, determine as a database the table where all the books are. Once you click on the book, a new window will open, where you can add a list type collection and your data would be the relationship.

Thank you so much for this.

I will check this out but then remember - once I click the book (genesis) it should take me to chapters (1,2,3) and once I click the chapters, it should take me to the verses or straight up of all the verses and their text.

So, I need how to build a relationship between - Book, chapter, verses and the texts.

Book  
Chapter  
Verses  
Texts

Do I have to create a separate table for them all and then link them through relationship.

Please explain to me, thank you so much in advance.

Philip.

I think you would need 2 tables:

1. Table A: Books
2. Table B: Bible Tree

In Table A, you need a column with the Books

In Table B, you need 2 columns: Parent and Child. Each row is the relationship between a child and its parent, and any attributes (descriptors) describe the child. For example, if Book 1 has 7 chapters, you would create 7 rows to describe these 7 parent-child relations.

In the parent column, you will have a mix of books, chapters, and verses. It might be confusing, but this is normal. See these as “parents” and nothing else. Same comment applies to the child column (books do not appear in this column because they have no parent).

Ideally, create relations with row IDs.
