Bible verse and chapter numbering origins
Early Hebrew and Greek texts had no verse or chapter divisions and spaces were absent. Jewish scholars created Hebrew chapter beginnings about 700 years ago, Robert Stephens popularized the modern system around 1545, and Geneva Bible printers adopted it in the mid‑16th century though not always matching natural groupings. Overall divisions aid reading and locating passages.
