How could the numbers have been inspired when written hundreds of years after the text?
Most believers have no problem accepting that God acts in our lives everyday – we actually pray for such help daily. God directs the thoughts and paths of us and others every day without our knowledge. It is conceivable that while authors were faithfully writing down the inspired words of God, God’s Holy Spirit was supernaturally giving them every word and letter to be written. This same influence of the Holy Spirit is likely responsible for decisions of cannonization, translation and numbering and arrangement of books, chapters and verses.
