None of these activities were inspired in the sense the original authors were.
In particular the adding of chapter and verse divisions was just aimed at easing the task of navigating around the Bible - there is no spiritual or theological significance in the chosen divisions and to suggest such is delusional because it takes no heed of known historical fact.
The KJV has no "inspiration" not common to any other translation.

Not much on Bible numbers BUT...
there is one scripture I call Ecclesiastes "PI".
OK, we know that Pi is about 3.14. All those other places aren't important to this.
Now let's just look at Ecclesiastes 3:14, Ecclesiastes PI...
It says what?
That it's a constant. That nothing can be added to it or taken from it. Very interesting and nothing in God's word is a coincidence.
Ecclesiastes 3:14 KJV
I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it , that men should fear before him.
Spiritual food for thought.
Now we turn from numbers to cows. Moo!
In Genesis the 41st chapter we read of Pharaoh's dreams and the fat cows and skinny cows. The skinny ones ate the fat ones but were still skinny and hungry. No change.
The new testament reflection of these wretched skinny cows can be found in
2 Timothy 3:7 KJVS
Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
They and and read and learn nothing. Exactly like the cows their eating is of no profit. There are so many hidden treasures in God's word that after 49 years I'm yet mining an finding jewels.

I think if you were really serious about the use of the word "conceived", you would look at each use of the Hebrew and Greek words to determine whether the translators were correct in translating the words as "conceived".
Once you narrow down the true use of the word "conceived", you will have the correct number of times the word is actually used.
As far as how many words Adam spoke in Genesis 2, we must remember that Adam did not speak the english language.
In verse 23, there are 15 Hebrew words translated into 24 english words.
In verse 24, there are 13 Hebrew words translated into 22 english words. However, it is not clear that Adam spoke the words written in verse 24. Adam may have uttered only the words shown in vs 23.
