  Chapter
     The several books of the Old and New Testaments were from an
     early time divided into chapters. The Pentateuch was divided by
     the ancient Hebrews into 54 _parshioth_ or sections, one of
     which was read in the synagogue every Sabbath day (Acts. 13:15).
     These sections were afterwards divided into 669 _sidrim_ or
     orders of unequal length. The Prophets were divided in somewhat
     the same manner into _haphtaroth_ or passages.
     
       In the early Latin and Greek versions of the Bible, similar
     divisions of the several books were made. The New Testament
     books were also divided into portions of various lengths under
     different names, such as titles and heads or chapters.
     
       In modern times this ancient example was imitated, and many
     attempts of the kind were made before the existing division into
     chapters was fixed. The Latin Bible published by Cardinal Hugo
     of St. Cher in A.D. 1240 is generally regarded as the first
     Bible that was divided into our present chapters, although it
     appears that some of the chapters were fixed as early as A.D.
     1059. This division into chapters came gradually to be adopted
     in the published editions of the Hebrew, with some few
     variations, and of the Greek Scriptures, and hence of other
     versions.
