define: chapter and verse?

Question

what exactly does it mean?? i need the true definitions...plz no stupid answers

Answer 1

To know something "Chapter & verse" means you have it memorised

Answer 2

Each book of the bible has a chapter like any other book.

Each section of that chapter is divided into 1 or more sentences, perhaps a small paragraph and is called a verse so it is easier to find.
EXAMPLE: Genesis Chapter 1 verse 1 (Gen 1:1)
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Answer 3

ok Genisis 1 verse 9 you will look in your bible for the 1st chapter in Genisis then you will look for verse 9 which will be in chapter 1
or if the pastor says psalms 72 verse 19 you will look at the top of your bible for psalms 72 then when you find 72 which is like in bold print # you will go down to verse 19 ok now what i feel is the true meaning of chapter is to identify where you are like say cinderella in the begining it may have a list of all the chapters and normally the chapters may say this
chapter 1. the house = which may speak on the house she lived in
chapter 2 the family= which may speak on her family
chapter 4 the party= the party cinderella went to
when they list chapters it normally speaks on specific things until the author is ready to move on
now as for the verse it can be certain things you may look for like say at the party she fell it may be listed like this vs.9 cinderella fell while dancing vs10 the prince picked her up
if someone ask you where did you read this that or the other you can say go to chapter 4 vs 9 and it will tell you where cinderella went and what happened where she went would be the chapter what happened would be the verse hope all this made sence
chapters indicates what you may be reading about
verse is where you can start reading from

Answer 4

each book in the Bible (ex. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) is divided into chapters just like other books. Then each chapter is divided into verses. It really just makes it way way easier to find things. When someone says that something is found in, let's say, Jeremiah 29:11, Jeremiah is the book, 29 is the chapter #, and 11 is the verse #

Answer 5

I don't know what there's not to understand. Some writings are broken down into chapters and further down into verses. A chapter and a verse are increasingly smaller units of numbered text that allow a person to find specific bits of writing easier.

Answer 6

It's an easier way to cite a religious scripture (such as the Bible, but the Qur'an, the Book of Mormon, and some others have them). Books of the Bible (for example) are broken up into chapters (a few VERY short ones aren't), then broken up into relatively short segments (sentance length oftentimes) called verses.

Answer 7

The Old Testament was written in the form of long scrolls -- not books as we know them. The various books within the OT and the NT as well were not divided into chapters and verses -- like text books -- until a Catholic man took it upon himself to do so for finding passages within the books much more easily.

Answer 8

Each Book of the Bible has Chapters and verses to it..there are 66 books in the Bible.

Answer 9
