Bible data is stored in 3 Parquet files:

2. Verse embeddings with columns vid and e.
3. Book number-to-name mapping with columns b and n.

Where:

• vid is the verse ID. It's an integer in the format bbbcccvvv where bbb is the book number, ccc is the chapter number, and vvv is the verse number.
• b is the book number.
• n is the book name.
• t is the verse text.
• e is the verse embedding.
