I have a paper called...
Ditroff/Ffortid, An Adaptation of the UNIX DITROFF for Formatting
Bi-Directional Text.  FFORTID was used to extend DITROFF for preparing
text with a mixture of English and Hebrew.  The authors are Cary Buchman
and Daniel M. Berry of UCLA.

As for The Bible on micros, the only package I've seen (available for
the IBM-PC and possibly others) is a copy of The Bible with an analysis
program called (ugh) THE WORD Processor.
