Hi
If one works with the consonantal text (without the aid of vowel points).
If the response is addressed to the "messenger", it is basically addressed
to the one wwho sent the messenger--so the response can be an indirect
address of respect to tthe Lord.
In regards to Bible software progams, I have been very satisfied with
"Bible Windows" produced by Silver Mountain Software. If you are interested
