This morning I was
reading through the book of Genesis again. Few interesting facts for Readers:
—1. The book Genesis
has around 38, 262 words (around 40,000 with introductions, headings, and footnotes).
—2. No matter what
your translation is, expect the book of
Psalms and the book of Jeremiah to be larger than the book of Genesis, over
42,000 - 43,000 each.
—3. Genesis is larger
than the novellas Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, C S. Lewis (36,363);
Animal Farm, George Orwell (29,966) and A Christmas Carol,
Charles Dickens (28,944)
—4. Genesis is longer
than any book of Shakespeare. His longest book is Hamlet (30,066) and
his shortest is Macbeth (17,084)
—5. You can read the
whole book of Genesis in one sitting (even without checking
WhatsApp notification or going washroom😁)
—6. If you have read
through the book of Genesis in one sitting, you can take a deep breath of
relief with a sense of satisfaction that your effort and achievement is greater
than reading through some of the famous books!👍
—7. If you can read
through the book of Genesis in one sitting, you can read any book of the Bible
in one sitting. (And yeah, many books in the market available too)!
So, why not try it?
I've done a few times already with joy,
peace, and wonderment! Not just for the
effort and achievement, but most importantly the bliss of re-discovering God's
truth to transform one's life and others around us too!
Have a nice day!🙋
