It doesn't occur to us that the entries might be unique*. Perhaps if the words had been 'Gadarene' and 'fig-tree' it might have been easier.As for reading the chapter and verse numbers as digital time and setting the clocks to the corresponding analogue time, I still think that that is an off-the-wall idea, by no means obvious. Perhaps I would be more likely to think of it if no book had more than 12 chapters. But given the existence of Genesis 50:26, Exodus 40:28, Leviticus 27:34, Psalms 150:6 etc. the idea might occur only to be rejected.* In fact, they aren't unique. Of my six bibles, only one has an index, and that lists four occurences of "wrath" and none for "justice". It doesn't have a section on 'imprisonment'. I wouldn't even dream of looking for such a thing.</blockquote>
