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.
Says you for whatever that is worth! You haven't given you own answer to the question I asked so I am still waiting! What do you believe?
So this proves "conceived" is not found 46 times in the King James Bible or the fact that Adam speaks 46 words in Genesis chapter 2 in the King James Bible? You have proved nothing!
I did answer the question - go up a few posts and check - all you are doing currently is convincing me that you don't read posts, never mind really "get" what they are saying...
Limey gave an answer but you didn't. The bottom line is that you are unable to present evidence from the Bible to back up anything you have said; therefore, I will dismiss your opinions and claims. For now I must go but I will respond back when time permits. Take care
There is the answer that you asked for - just as I said!!!!
So, stop talking nonsense!
Also, nothing from you has needed a Biblical response because everything you are claiming fall outside Scripture, as I said before - just like the chapters and verse divisions!!!

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.
Almost certainly our friend does not want to hear this!
He seems to believe that the KJV is inspired and so all your unwanted detail is just chaff to the wind....
So, basically, sometimes there is something 46x in the Bible, more times not.
What does it prove, exactly?
If everything in the Bible would be 46, I would be amazed.
But to simply find some occurances (of whatever number) in 2000 pages long book is nothing extraordinary.
It would NOT surprise me if similar number patterns emerge from other versions of the Bible; though I have no intention of wasting my time trying to prove it.
I would not even call it a pattern.
Its just a random search of occurances and then invention of theories about them.
On what basis should your opinion cary more weight than that of graceNpeace or that of any other forum member?
I did miss your answer but I suppose I was hoping for one based on the Scriptures.
