A chapter with section headings and verse ranges
Numbers 1 (Hoffnung für Alle, German) opens with “Vorbereitungen zum Aufbruch nach Kanaan”, a range “(Kapitel 1,1–10,10)” and a section heading, then continuous text with small verse numbers and indented name lists, over a play button and chapter arrows.
Design takeaway
Long-form reading with headings keeps the chapter’s structure visible. The headings come from the translation’s editors and could be marked as such.
