Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

The Book of Proverbs has 915 verses. In some cases, a verse has more than one message; while in some cases each verse has its message(s) but the paragraph also forms one or more general messages. So it's hard to give a precise answer without studying the entire text intensively.

Another passage speaks of the 3000 proverbs of Solomon (1 Kings 5:12) but doesn't explicitly refer to the Book of Proverbs per se. Note also that every verse in Proverbs has multiple levels of meaning (Rashi commentary, 1 Kings, ibid).

Answer 4

Not sure how many are written in the book of proverbs but Solomon spoke 3000 of them according to 1 Kings 4:32.

Answer 5
