Test JBJ's 49-book Bible by Hebrew cadence?

 Test JBJ's 49-book Bible by Hebrew Cadence?

JBJ has proposed that we rethink the order of the Old Testament. This is not so radical, because the 12, per New Bible Commentary, are organized by 4 non-chronologically and 8 chronologically. This indicates some Coming/Ascension, perhaps?
We can, if we want, test this by Hebrew Cadence. Cassuto pioneered this, by counting the number of times a concept/word is used in a passage/pericope. JBJ passed this along to Cascione, whose work 'Repetition...' and/or his other works, are about the Gospels and Revelation, also being written such that 70, let's say, times in Matthew, a certain word/concept is used. I remember that one variation of one of the last verses in Revelation is proposed by Cascione to be the best, because it fulfills several such Hebrew cadences.
Now, with BibleWorks 8, we can test if, for instance, Greater Chronicles (I, II, Ezra, Nehemiah) is aligned with Hebrew Cadence.
Go to, scholars!
