In 2023, I read through twenty-one [whole] Bibles, and an additional three New Testaments.
Did I mean to read through the Bible this many times? NO. No. no. I typically read through between 8 to 10 times. Am I planning on reading through twenty-one times next year? Again no.
By far, this is the most I've read the Bible. Or in some cases, "read" the Bible. How much is reading? How much is "reading"? I think you reach a point where you come across chapters and you're like, I don't "need" to read this for the umpteenth time--usually something about priests' garments, clean and unclean food, or sanctuary/temple arrangements. (Though sometimes the begats).
I read through the ESV three times.
