A Tree Full of Bible Lore
A STUDENT of Holy Writ has composed Biblical statistics in this novel form:— The Bible contains 3,566,480 letters, 810,697 words, 31,175 verses, 1,189 chapters, and 66 books. The longest chapter is the 119th psalm; the shortest and middle chapter, the 117th psalm. The middle verse is the 8th of the 118th psalm. The longest name is in the 8th chapter of Isaiah. The word “and” occurs 46,627 times; the word “Lord” 1,855 times. The 37th chapter of Isaiah and the 19th chapter of the Second Book of Kings are alike. The longest verse is the 9th of the 8th chapter of Esther; the shortest verse is the 35th of the 11th chapter of John. In the 1st verse of the 7th chapter of Ezra is the alphabet. The finest piece of reading is the 26th chapter of Acts. The name of God is not mentioned in the Book of Esther. It contains knowledge, wisdom, holiness, and love. — Household Journal.
