The Bible was written in three languages. Those languages are Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek.
The Bible is about 611,000 words long.
The longest book in the Bible is Jeremiah.
The shortest book in the Bible is 3 John.
The Bible was written by more than 40 different authors, over a span of about 1500 years. The amazing fact is they didn’t know each other, yet never contradicted each other. The reason they could not can be read in 2 Peter 1:19-21.
The Bible was written by people from diverse occupational backgrounds. Parts of the Bible were written by kings, half of Psalms, a good chunk of Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes seem to be penned by royalty. But other parts of the Bible are written by farmers, fisherman, a tentmaker, homeless prophets, a doctor, a professional scribe, vocational musicians, preachers, etc.
There are at least 185 songs in the Bible.
Some of the “First” and “Second” books were divided after they were written. If the books of 1 & 2 Kings were combined, they would be the longest book of the Bible. I bring that up because 1 & 2 Kings were originally written as one book. The same goes for 1 & 2 Samuel and 1 & 2 Chronicles.
The authorship of the book of Hebrews has remained anonymous.
The word “Trinity” is never mentioned in the Bible, but they are identified in Matt. 3:16; 28:19; Jude 20-21. God eternally exists in three persons.
The Bible was written on three continents, Europe, Africa and Asia.
Now the most amazing revelation of the Bible: This is the only book on earth that gives God’s perfect plan of salvation and path to eternal life. Of all the zillions of other books, none will get you help, blessings and wisdom for the entire person. This is the only writings that man did not write. Every word was inspired by God and sent down from Heaven. It is the only writing that is alive - “The Living Word.” Rom. 1:16; Heb. 4:12
