How many times does the word choose appear or feature in the Bible?

Answer 1

This question has several possible answers.

The English word 'Choose' appears 59 times in the King James Version of The Bible.

However, the original Hebrew and Greek languages used a smaller and different vocabulary which allowed a single word to be used in a variety of ways that didn't always translate directly 'Choose'. English has different words for each application, and so the actual word appears much less often than the concept is used.

The Hebrew Bible uses 4 different variations which are used a total of 246 times. The New Testament uses 10 variations which are used 65 times. In total, the concept of choice & selection, is used 311 times.
