Inserted into the order of the books are the names of groups of books (for example, Pentateuch, Five Scrolls, Gospels), the most comprehensive always preceding.
The call number given is the start of a range of call numbers covering a book or a group of books. For most books of the Hebrew Bible, there are five numbers in the range. The first four are for texts of the book; these may have some commentary. The fifth call number is for criticism and commentaries. For example, texts of Genesis (with or without commentary) are found in the range BS 1231-1234; criticism and commentaries are found in BS1235-BS1235.6. For books of the Old Testament, there are six numbers in the range. The first five are for texts and the fifth is for criticism and commentaries. For example, texts of Matthew are found in the range BS2570-2574; criticism and commentaries are found in BS2575-2575.6.
