I consider the words "The current versification of the Tanach into
chapters and verses is later than the Leningrad Codex" to be misleading.
The division into verses is not later than L, in fact it is clearly
marked in L by sof pasuq etc. It is the division into chapters which is
later than L. And of course the numbering scheme is later than L because
it is dependent on the chapter divisions.
In fact there are some places e.g. the start of Isaiah 64 where the
chapter division was put in the middle of a verse as defined by sof
pasuq. This has led to some confusion in numbering schemes. And there
are a significant number of other anomalies in the numbering, and
differences between Hebrew and English numbering. See

for some more details.
