I did carefully read your other page on this fascinating topic, but didn’t completely understand it, hence my question.
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? I’m writing another article on the word counts of each book in the Bible, your material here is invaluable, but I’m concerned at how you end up with your 611,224 word total. (Yours is at the bottom, not as a sign of its importance, just due to the chronology of adding it today!)Īnd as you can see your count is significantly longer than another source for the original language, but also significantly shorter than two different counts for the NASB. We’ve collated a number of word counts on this page Noting your most recent comment on June 6 “this is a count of total words” I’m a bit confused – are you counting the original language words or the words in your favorite NASB English translation or something else? Thanks for doing the “legwork” and sharing it. Then selected “Spreadsheet” and exported it as a CSV file.Īnd of course, I did this with all those books, so … Step 4b: repeat Step 4 for every book of the Bibleįrom here on out, it’s just doing the math. To do that, I clicked the Word List icon and selected Print/Export. I exported each Word List as a CSV spreadsheet. We could print flash cards, see which words occur most, and more.īut I wanted all the words of the Bible in a spreadsheet, so I had to take it a step further. We can do all sorts of things with these lists. That left me with 66 Logos Word Lists, each giving me every original-language word in a given book of the Bible. Step 3b: repeat step 2 for every book of the Bible That should probably count as another step. Here’s where it got time-consuming: I built one Logos Word List like this for every single book of the Bible. For example, “run,” “ran,” and “running” are all different words, but if you were to look up their meanings in a dictionary, you’d look up “run.” “Run” is the lemma. Now I have a list of every Hebrew lemma in the book of Ruth. I click “Ruth,” and blammo-Logos pulls in every Hebrew lemma in the book of Ruth (as far as the ESV is concerned). Then I just enter in a book of the Bible. I’ve told Logos where the words are coming from (the selected Bible) and where the words are going (the Word list). This tells Logos which text to pull words from when I designate a book of the Bible. Then I selected the Bible I was using (let’s say the ESV for this post). Then I added the words from a single book of the Bible. This opened up a new Word List, which looked like this:Īnd of course, I chose a title. … and then selecting “Word List” from the options. First thing I did was create a new Word list. Once I chose my Bibles, it was time to start getting word counts. Obviously, you could do this using just one Bible.

You can check out the Web versions, or just download the spreadsheet and play with the numbers all you want: (By the way, if you want to know what I think of Logos. I used the Lexham Hebrew Bible and the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece for these word counts. I’ve put together word counts for every book of the Bible. These numbers are pulled from the original languages using Logos Bible Software-you can see how I did it below.
Have you ever wondered what the longest and shortest books of the Bible are? The Bible is more than 600,000 words long in its original languages-but how are those words distributed across the 66 books of the Bible?
