Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer:

At #1, Psalms has 150 chapters and 2527 verses making it by far the longest book of the Bible. If you've opened a Bible, it's not hard to notice Psalms right in the middle of the book with beautiful songs written by David about his God. The opening book of the Bible is Genesis, where we learn about Adam and Eve, Noah's Ark, and Abraham. This book has 50 chapters and just over 1500 verses. Sitting at #3 is the prophet Jeremiah's book. We learn in Jeremiah about the struggle of being in exile and trusting in God even in the most trying times. Jeremiah has 1,364 verses.

Two books of the prophets in the Old Testament take up spots #4 and #6 on the longest Bible books. Isaiah has 1,291 verses and Ezekiel is right behind with 1,273 verses. Two of the earliest books in the Bible tell us about Moses and the Israelites delivery from slavery by Egypt. The book of Numbers has 1,289 verses and Exodus contains 1,213 verses.

Only one book from the New Testament made the top ten longest books of the Bible. One of the four Gospels, Luke, is the longest book in the New Testament and comes in at 1,151 verses and ranks #8 on the list.

Deuteronomy comes just after Numbers in the Old Testament and ranks #9 on the longest list with 959 verses. In this book we see Moses reiterating the Ten Commandments and expectations for those returning to the promised land of Canaan. And finally, the tenth longest book of the Bible goes to 2 Chronicles with 822 verses. The book opens with the reign of King Solomon and takes us until the exile of the Southern Kingdom of Judah.
