Best Answer

There are no chapters in the original Torah.

The text of the entire 'Old Testament' was marked off in chapters and verses much later.
I've read that it coincided roughly with the innovation of the printing press, when at last,
everyone who could read could own his own copy of the text. To facilitate the widespread
popular discussion and debate that ensued, the framework of chapter and verse was
created.

The original Torah is written without chapters, without verses, and without punctuation.

The only divisions indicated in the scroll are extra line spaces ... multiple 'line feeds' ... at exactly four places
in the text: The beginnings of the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

I'm not sure specifically how many there are. There are 31 chapters, but most of these chapters contain many proverbs (plus, the chapter and verse distinctions were not in the original text). I've been looking for this too, but I can't find it. Guess I'll have to count.


How many chapters are in ecclesiastes's in the original bible?

There are twelve chapters of Ecclesiastes. Not sure what you mean by "original" Bible, but you're probably referring to the Codex Vaticanus of Constantine which was one of the first to combine the old and new Testaments, and eventually became what we now call the Catholic Bible. Since, what was then the canonical Hebrew Bible was used as the Old Testament, and it contained twelve chapters of Ecclesiastes, I would say the answer is still twelve.
