What is the longest verse in the Bible?
What is the longest verse in the Bible is among the long or infinite list of trivial questions that can be asked in a Bible quiz or competition. The longest verse in the Bible is found in the old testament.
The Bible is divided into major parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament consists of 39 books with 929 chapters while the New Testament has 27 books and 260 chapters.
The longest verse in the Bible is found in the book of Esther. It is found in chapter 8 v 9:
“Then were the king’s scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their alanguage.”
The verse laid the background of Mordecai’s letters to all the Jewish leaders in all the region to gather the Jewish army to prepare themselves for war against their enemies.
Esther was the wife of the Jewish King, Ahasuerus who secured the order to protect the Jews from being killed. She foiled Haman’s plan to kill the Jews by getting an order from the King for the Jews to kill all their enemies.
So when you come across the question; what is the longest verse in the Bible, the right answer is Esther 8 v 9.
