'''Book''' [N] [S]
'''Book''' [N] [S]
This word has a comprehensive meaning in Scripture. In the Old Testament it is the rendering of the Hebrew word ''sepher'' , which properly means a "writing," and then a "volume" ( Exodus 17:14 ; Deuteronomy 28:58 ; 29:20 ; Job 19:23 ) or "roll of a book" ( Jeremiah 36:2 Jeremiah 36:4 ) ([https://www.biblestudytools.com/dictionary/book/ Bible Study Tools]). --[[User:Jackin the box|Jackin the box]] ([[User talk:Jackin the box|talk]]) 09:28, February 11, 2022 (EST)

:I would add that the kind of comments made in the following sentence would be more appropriately dealt with in the body of the article, with a more general comment on the beauty, etc of the Bible in the lead: "It includes the beautiful Gospel of Luke, the profound Gospel of John, and the intellectual Epistle to the Hebrews." That is "It is a work that contains profound and beautiful writing". Intellectual is presumably covered by profound? --[[User:Jackin the box|Jackin the box]] ([[User talk:Jackin the box|talk]]) 09:40, February 11, 2022 (EST)
