Translation off by one verse for Job 16 from verse 4 #101

The Coptic versification is different and creates an off-by-one error, we should fix this and re-release the OT corpus when we have a chance.

Also broken: Joshua 9. Comment from L. Rafferty:

The translation given is for Joshua 9:2. The translation may be broken in this document because of verse numbering differences, e.g. in Brenton vv. 30-35 come between v. 2 and v. 3. Other editions number those verses 2a-2f, or renumber all of the verses sequentially 1-33. In Brenton this is Joshua 9:12: These are the loaves—we took them hot for our journey on the day on which we came out to come to you; and now they are dried and become mouldy.

There is a notes file and mapping file in the OT directory of the bible-dev repo that should be consulted when processing the Coptic OT. If these errors are not already in the mapping file we should modify that file

Yeah, that's already implemented, but Job is not mentioned there (search for b18); these issues can indeed be added there.

Another one from L. Rafferty: Translation is off by one verse, "with the edge of the sword" corresponds to ϩⲛⲟⲩϩⲱⲧⲃⲛⲥⲏϥⲉ in the next verse in Deuteronomy 13.
