Bible Discussion Thread

Psalms does not have chapters. You guys have the psalms listed as chapters.

However, if you mean that when you do a Search on this KJB Site (i.e. Selecting a Bible Book) & you want to scroll down to a particular Psalm in the Psalter, but you find that all the Books are shown as having individual chapters, then you're right: the Psalms don't have chapters as other books but individual Psalms. They are listed as chapters here so as to keep everything standardized with the other Bible Books.

I teach virtual bible class and my students noticed it. Tks for your reply.

I was just proud my students remembered this.

Tks again.

Psalms has chapters. Are you assuming the book is not supposed to have them today? If you are referring to the original Hebrew or Greek scrolls, then yes, ancient scrolls didn't have chapters or verses, but that wasn't just Psalms, but all books of the Bible. The scrolls had natural breaks and spacing that could be interpreted as paragraphs or chunks of thought. The chapters and verses makes it much easier to read and share without changing any of the meaning. It was also copied onto papyrus and hand copied back then. Today it's on the internet and on mobile devices and in English so we can understand and read it in our own language easily.
