Amit,
Can you try the same work based on the Goldilocks videos in the SignWriting video transcription library? 

SW Video Transcription Library
https://www.signwriting.org/library/transcription

If you click on Goldilocks in ASL, this link starts a series of video transcriptions based on small video clips in SignPuddle.

Goldilocks in ASL small video clips in SignPuddle
https://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/canvas.php?ui=1&sgn=5&sid=374

The Bible is very complex and the writers are not all trained. So the Goldilocks video clips might be more accurate or at least be a valuable addition besides the work you're doing with the Bible.

Just a thought - hope it is possible. Thanks for all you are doing -

Val ;-)
