It always looked so weird to me, like, who not just read the Bible like a proper book instead of having all of those numbering?

I guess it’s because it makes easy to find some specific line? But that is from an academic perspective instead of something you would put in a faith book?

When did that started and why they put all the numbering?

    Notice that we write laws and contracts in the same way. The bible was both. It was used to settle disagreements and to sentence people.
