chapters and verse numbers and stuff its that there's no punctuation, no sentance breaks as we're used to them now, just a giant single blob of text. Imagine writing at a time like that imagine having to read at a time like that, and nevermind how awful hebrew is as a language because all I'm saying applies to the greek just as well. Hebrew is worse though cause they don't even write vowels. mgn tht. N vwls, n pncttn, n prgrphs. (Imagine that, no vowels, no punctuation, no paragraphs). I honestly don't think you can read hebrew, at least a reasonable editor can come up with sentance breaks and stuff just from reading in most cases, hebrew writing is really just a mnemonic for someone who already knows what he's reading. And not a great mnemonic either. So when we think about how writing has been around forever, I guess my point is that modern writing really hasn't been, all these refinements in terms of being able to write clearly have been added over the years to give us what we now have.
