That left me with 66 Logos Word Lists, each giving me every original-language word in a given book of the Bible.
We can do all sorts of things with these lists. We could print flash cards, see which words occur most, and more. But I wanted all the words of the Bible in a spreadsheet, so I had to take it a step further. I used my favorite Bible study tool, Logos Bible software , to do research that made this post possible. If you're a Bible geek like me, you might want to check it out. Forty years a pastor, several years in religious education, ONE trip to a college in India wow , etc I will NOT be called on much to speak, but if so I will be prepared; even more so since I met your work!
Have you seen this anywhere? I just chanced on this website — no, even the Lord uses computers to help us dummies. I will make an icon for this website for my easy find. God bless.
I love your research and methodology. Yours is at the bottom, not as a sign of its importance, just due to the chronology of adding it today! Would love to understand this some more. Also, if you have data on your ESV analysis, could you share that — either via a published article here or by sending direct to me?
Thanks for answering back. Can you reconcile that? I was fascinated by the word count of the books in the Bible. Can I please give an acknowledgement to you.
If you let me have the wording that will be great. God bless your ministry. Thanks for the chart. Thank you so much for creating this list! I love it. I had created a list similar to this, for the New Testament books. But I used a different method. I was using the list in order to memorize the books of the New Testament, in order from shortest to longest books. Unfortunately I lost the list. But so thankful to you for creating this one. Now I can continue to study the Word. Have you done word frequency lists?
I am studying Russian, and being able to review frequency lists before each book I read in Russian will help greatly. The Torah began as a series of ANDs.
Books are not in Torah. Modern man divided the Torah into 5 books. The book name in the Christian bible is not Torah Hebrew and was created thousands of years after Torah was given. There are only 4 Books of Moses. Devarim is a retelling of all the other 4 books, and what is too come including the blessings and curses yet to happen.
This is why the Christ said… Moses spoke of me. Each section has a Holy counting of Letters. Wiki has a wonderful site to the Jewish perspective of Holy counting to compliment this wonderful study we see on the page. The Jewish counting is said to be given to Moses from G-d… the Holy counting!
Both perspectives, of man made and G-d given are needed so we have the physical attempt and the Holy spiritual reveal. Now here is what the Christ came to teach us, who are not already versed in Torah not yet righteous. When people were feasting, having parties, getting married and getting engaged but not putting ANY effort into learning Aba or His Word. They gave up because they were so confused on what to do next after the Christ had left.
They ate on the sand because Torah is not yet firmed up. John did not take the mother MARY home. Wisdom went home with John… lives with John still today. What wall? A patch cannot be sewed onto a prayer shawl. Now, if you have an issure of blood, not born Jew, then you can touch the OLD and be healed. Same prayer shawl, only shortened so we can READ in first in English left to right then go fishing and toss the net to read right to left.
Thank you for your good work. Matthew 26 27… Just reading this am and wondering how much of His gospel does he give to the passion of Christ. Curious about the percentage of words. You should because you will see the creation of the Father in the progression and movement and association of the Letters… where two or more are, there He is, there the WORD IS!
Do you read other books for a few hours at a time? Do you ever spend an hour watching a TV show or two hours watching a movie or three hours watching a football game? Why not prioritize lengthy, undistracted time in the life-giving word? Reading an entire book of the Bible in one sitting is not as unrealistic as it may sound at first.
Subscribe to receive our weekly emails PLUS access to the free digital theological library! Thank you! That may or may not be your statistic. But if you took the time watching TV and applied it to reading the Bible, you could read through one of the books each night. What about binge watching series on Netflix? Ever done that? I have! The entire series of Lost would take you 5 days and 1 hour to watch.
Have you seen them all? You can read the Bible if you want to read the Bible. You just have to make the time. You can work your way through the Bible. Pick a book and get started. His most recent book is Distinctive Discipleship. In August , we surveyed over 11, readers, asking questions about how much time they spend doing some of the things mentioned above.
We then compared those responses with the average amount of time it takes to read various portions of Scripture. Do you have a spare 5 minutes in your day? Take up and read the book of Jude or maybe even Obadiah. Do you have 15 minutes? Read Ruth or Philippians. Do you have an hour? Immerse yourself in Nehemiah or Romans. In just 12 minutes per day, you could read the whole Bible in a year.
Does that still feel a bit ambitious? In just 6 minutes per day, you could read the entire New Testament over the course of 6 months.
