Hi James,

 

"Chapter" is "pereq" and "verse" (in the sense of biblical syntax – not a verse of poetry) is "pasuq". Both terms are Medieval Hebrew based on biblical terms, and both are used in modern Hebrew as well.

Greetings everyone:

 

How do I say "Chapter" and "verse" in Hebrew (Biblical or Modern).
