I once came across a calculator-like device that had some version of a Bible stored in it. But not very well. It clearly had a dictionary with the text stored by word number, because some of the longer words were off by one word in the dictionary. This produced some strange texts.

I think that in this case, the original text is rather strange to start with.

When I was a kid my parents had some bible (plus other books) software for their PC XT that came on dozens of 360K floppies and filled most of the 20MB hdd. What impressed me most was the search feature, and I've never seen anything like it since. You could search for a word within N words or N verses of another word, for example. I always wondered what indexing structures allowed that on an 8MHz 8088.
