How this plan works

  • Change the pace. Two years is about 32 verses a day. Six months is about five chapters a day.
  • Your ticks stay here. Ticks are kept in this browser. The copied link holds your choices, so it opens the same plan on another device; the ticks don't travel with it.

How we built the chronological order

Questions

How long does it take to read the Old Testament?

A year at about 63 verses a day, 10 to 15 minutes at a steady pace. Six months is about five chapters a day.

Should I read the Old Testament in order or chronologically?

This page reads it in Bible order. The chronological plan places Job beside Genesis and each prophet after the king it names, and runs on through the New Testament.

Can I read the Old and New Testament at the same time?

Yes. The Old and New Testament plan gives one reading from each every day, both finishing on the same date.

What if I fall behind?

Open Reading days and pick the last chapter you finished. The rest is spread from today to your end date.
