Why the Bible is divided by verses and numbers?
Why the Bible is divided by verses and numbers?
It always looked so weird to me, like, who not just read the Bible like a proper book instead of having all of those numbering?
I guess it's because it makes easy to find some specific line? But that is from an academic perspective instead of something you would put in a faith book?
When did that started and why they put all the numbering?

For easy indexing. Lots of influential literary works have this. There's a universal standard indexing for both the works of Plato and Shakespeare, for example.
