### Note

Countable: a chapter, chapters. A group of pages: chapters × pages in each = pages. Trap: the number of chapters is not the number of pages; if the pages count is given directly, chapters may be a distractor.

In the primary lessons: a part of a book that holds pages: chapters × pages in each = pages; at school children read chapter books; phrases: «chapter one», «chapter book», «the next chapter», «a new chapter»

### Examples

- 35) Compare Chapter I, Section 3, Note, 8. (Sefer Yetzirah, Kalisch 1877) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/C/chapter/#x1)
- Finished; the end (of a book or chapter.) (Sefer Yetzirah, Kalisch 1877) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/C/chapter/#x2)
