World English Bible Protestant Edition (WEBP)

Deuteronomy 26

  1. 1It shall be, when you have come in to the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, possess it, and dwell in it,
  2. 2that you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that the LORD your God gives you. You shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.
  3. 3You shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and tell him, “I profess today to the LORD your God, that I have come to the land which the LORD swore to our fathers to give us.”
  4. 4The priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before the LORD your God’s altar.
  5. 5You shall answer and say before the LORD your God, “My father was a Syrian ready to perish. He went down into Egypt, and lived there, few in number. There he became a great, mighty, and populous nation.
  6. 6The Egyptians mistreated us, afflicted us, and imposed hard labor on us.
  7. 7Then we cried to the LORD, the God of our fathers. The LORD heard our voice, and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression.
  8. 8The LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, with great terror, with signs, and with wonders;
  9. 9and he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
  10. 10Now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, the LORD, have given me.” You shall set it down before the LORD your God, and worship before the LORD your God.
  11. 11You shall rejoice in all the good which the LORD your God has given to you, and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the foreigner who is among you.
  12. 12When you have finished tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within your gates and be filled.
  13. 13You shall say before the LORD your God, “I have put away the holy things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandment which you have commanded me. I have not transgressed any of your commandments, neither have I forgotten them.
  14. 14I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I removed any of it while I was unclean, nor given of it for the dead. I have listened to the LORD my God’s voice. I have done according to all that you have commanded me.
  15. 15Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the ground which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.”
  16. 16Today the LORD your God commands you to do these statutes and ordinances. You shall therefore keep and do them with all your heart and with all your soul.
  17. 17You have declared today that the LORD is your God, and that you would walk in his ways, keep his statutes, his commandments, and his ordinances, and listen to his voice.
  18. 18The LORD has declared today that you are a people for his own possession, as he has promised you, and that you should keep all his commandments.
  19. 19He will make you high above all nations that he has made, in praise, in name, and in honor, and that you may be a holy people to the LORD your God, as he has spoken.

How It Works

Draw a chapter

BibleVerseGen chooses from all 1,189 verified WEBP chapters with equal probability. The selection happens at the chapter level, not by choosing a book first, so a chapter in a one-chapter book has the same chance as a chapter in Psalms or Genesis.

The complete chapter appears in the first server response. You do not have to enable a browser script, choose a testament, or follow a reference to another website before you can start reading.

Generate another

Select Show Another Chapter whenever you want a new place to read. BibleVerseGen avoids immediately returning the same chapter, while leaving the current text visible until the next verified chapter is ready.

If a request fails, the chapter you were reading stays on the page and the same button becomes a safe retry. The tool never fills an error state with invented or incomplete Scripture.

Copy or share

Copy saves the chapter reference, translation, source, and a stable reading link. It does not place the entire chapter into your clipboard by default, which keeps notes and messages manageable while preserving a clear route back to the complete text.

Share uses your browser or device when available. If native sharing is unavailable or fails, BibleVerseGen falls back to copying the same reference and link.

Read at a human pace

A random chapter is a starting point, not a prediction or a personalized instruction. Read the whole chapter slowly, notice who is speaking and what comes before a memorable line, and use the reference to continue your study.

BibleVerseGen displays the verified WEBP text without AI rewriting, commentary, or topic matching. Interpretation still benefits from the surrounding book, a trusted translation, and thoughtful study.

Read a Full Chapter in Context

A full chapter keeps connected events, arguments, prayers, poems, and instructions together. It gives a short verse more of its original setting and makes it easier to notice repeated words, changes in speaker, contrasts, and conclusions. Chapter boundaries are not a substitute for studying the whole book, but they offer a more complete reading unit than an isolated quotation.

Keep the whole thought together

Start with the chapter title and move through every available verse in order. Resist the urge to stop at the first familiar sentence. Later verses may answer a question, qualify an instruction, complete a story, or change the emphasis of an earlier line.

The displayed book and chapter reference stays visible, and the WEBP translation is named on every result. That makes it straightforward to compare the same chapter in another Bible edition without confusing the source of the wording shown here.

Return to the same chapter

The stable reading link opens this exact book and chapter instead of drawing a new result. Use it in a note, bookmark, or message when you want to return later or invite someone else to read the same text.

Stable reading pages are for reading and sharing. They remain outside the searchable page index, while this tool page is the single public entry for the random chapter task.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the result include the complete chapter?

Yes. The result contains every verse with verified text in the selected WEBP chapter, in its original order. Official source editions sometimes preserve a verse-number gap where a traditional number has no verse text; BibleVerseGen does not invent wording to fill that gap.

How is a random Bible chapter selected?

The tool builds one list containing all 1,189 chapters in the 66-book WEBP canon and chooses directly from that list. Each chapter therefore receives the same chance. The choice is not based on topic, popularity, reading history, or personal information.

Can I generate another chapter?

Yes. Select Show Another Chapter to request a different result. The current chapter stays visible during loading and after a failed request, and the service avoids returning the same chapter twice in immediate succession.

Which Bible translation is used?

BibleVerseGen uses the World English Bible Protestant Edition, identified as WEBP. It is a Public Domain translation provided through eBible.org. The site does not mix translations or silently rewrite the text.

Does BibleVerseGen save my reading history?

No account or reading-history database is used. A temporary page session can prevent an immediate repeat, but the tool does not build a personal chapter history. Copy and Share use capabilities on your device, and the site does not receive the destination you choose.
