Download the data

CSV: /data/chapter-reading-times.csv — 1,189 rows, one per chapter, UTF-8, header row included
JSON: /data/chapter-reading-times.json — same rows plus complete methodology metadata

Both files are generated from the Bible text by a single reproducible script (scripts/generate-reading-times.ts in the TrustBible repository), so every number above can be re-derived from the source corpus. Re-run the script and you get the same dataset.

Methodology

What was counted

Measure	Method
KJV words	Whitespace-delimited tokens of the verse text (789,634 words total)
和合本 chars	Unicode letters and numbers only — whitespace, punctuation, and symbols removed (930,059 characters total)

Both corpora are complete: all 1,189 chapters are present in both languages, and the script fails loudly if any chapter is missing.

Reading speeds (and their limits)

Speed	Value	Source	Scope disclosure
English silent reading	238 wpm	Brysbaert, M. (2019). "How many words do we read per minute? A review and meta-analysis of reading rate." Journal of Memory and Language, 109, 104047. doi:10.1016/j.jml.2019.104047	The 238 wpm figure is the meta-analytic rate for English non-fiction, silent reading. The KJV is Early Modern English, so applying this modern rate is an approximation; reading aloud (about 150 wpm) takes noticeably longer.
Chinese silent reading	390 cpm	Same meta-analysis (Brysbaert 2019, Table 5 prints Chinese silent reading as 260 word-units/min, 18 studies, 786 adults). The 390 cpm used here is this page's explicit conversion: 260 × 1.5 characters/word, the paper's own stated rule of thumb that "a Chinese word on average has 1.5 characters". The paper's footnote 17 notes real texts can run longer (1.87 characters/word in Yan et al. 2010).	Individual experiments report roughly 239–580 chars/min depending on text and task (Bai et al. 2008: 239; Sun, Morita & Stark 1985: 580). Chinese times on this page are therefore estimates from a converted meta-analytic central value, not a universal norm.

Why this page exists (first-party search evidence)

Google Search Console, property trustbible.org, first ~3 weeks after indexing (2026-09-07 → 2026-09-25, extracted 2026-09-28): 17 distinct queries, 18 impressions, 1 click, average position 58.5. Sixteen of the seventeen are bare book+chapter navigational queries in English and Chinese (galatians 1, ezra 1, 使徒行传第二章, 箴言第3章, …) sitting at positions 44–99 — the striking-distance band where better page-level answers move rankings. The single question-intent query, "where is galatians in the bible" (position 80), shows question-form demand exists but is unmet. No query on the property is branded. This page targets the adjacent measurable demand — how long is each chapter — with an asset (per-chapter table + CSV) that no current result returns.

How this compares to existing reading-time pages

Page	What it offers	What this page adds
stillbible.app — How long does it take to read the Bible	Whole-Bible totals (755,533 words, "~53 hours"), three speed presets, a 66-row book-level table, methodology citing Brysbaert (2019)	Per-chapter granularity (1,189 rows vs 66), Chinese (和合本) counts alongside English, downloadable CSV/JSON, and a one-command reproducible generation script
readmanna.app	Derives ~3.6 min/chapter from Crossway's 72-hour aloud figure (a single averaged number)	Actual per-chapter word/character counts instead of one average; silent-reading rates sourced from a meta-analysis rather than an aloud total
gracefuldaysfarm.com and artehow.com (also ranking for this query)	Unsourced round whole-Bible estimates with no per-chapter breakdown and no stated counting method	Every number traceable to a disclosed counting rule and a reproducible script
bible.com, biblegateway.com, Wikipedia (Bing top 5 for "bible chapter reading time")	Reference texts and homepages; BibleGateway renders zero `<table>` elements for this query	A purpose-built table with methodology, scope disclosures, and machine-readable Dataset/FAQPage markup

Word totals differ across sites because tokenization differs: our whitespace-token KJV count is 789,634 words where stillbible.app reports 755,533 for the same translation. Both counting rules are disclosed; neither is wrong, they are simply not interchangeable.

Known limits of this dataset

Times are estimates from fixed speeds, not measured readings — a reader's actual pace varies with familiarity, language, and attention.
Word and character counts depend on the counting rules stated above; other publishers tokenize differently, so cross-check totals will differ slightly.
The English and Chinese columns count different things (words vs. characters) and should not be compared as equivalent units of work.

Related counts from the same corpus

How many times does the Bible say "fear not"? — the same two corpora, counted by phrase: 62 KJV verses for the exact phrase, 88 including "be not afraid", 102 in the 和合本, with the full verse list.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to read the whole Bible? About 55.3 hours in the KJV at 238 words per minute, or 39.7 hours in the Chinese Union Version at 390 characters per minute. At one hour a day, that is roughly two months.

What is the longest chapter in the Bible? Psalm 119 — 2,423 words and 3,304 characters, about 10.2 minutes of English silent reading or 8.5 minutes of Chinese.

What is the shortest chapter? Psalm 117 — 33 words in the KJV and 50 characters in the 和合本, about 0.1 minutes in either language. It is the shortest chapter in both languages.

Does chapter length depend on the translation? Yes. Word counts move with translation philosophy (formal equivalence tends to run longer). This table measures one specific English text — the King James Version — and one specific Chinese text — the 和合本 — so the counts apply to those editions exactly.

Where does the Chinese reading-speed number come from? From the same reading-rate meta-analysis as the English number: Brysbaert (2019), Table 5, which prints Chinese silent reading as 260 word-units per minute across 18 studies with 786 adults. This page converts that to characters — 260 × 1.5 characters/word (the paper's own rule of thumb) = 390 characters per minute — so 390 cpm is our conversion, not a figure printed in Table 5. Published experiments span 239–580 cpm; the full range and sources are listed in the methodology section above.
