Rabbi Greenglasz zt”l- a Lubavitcher Chasid wrote a weekly column mostly based on the Lubavitcher Rebbes Sichos.
It was either Parshas Balak or Parshas Matos (These two Parshiyos start with Pasuk Bais)
He Posed a question :
” Why is Pasuk Alef in the previous Parsha and the new Parsha (Balak or Matos) starts with Pasuk Bais.
The new Parsha should have started with Pasuk Alef. He wrote a lengthy shtikel Torah answering this question.
My father A”H wrote to Rabbi Greenglasz, informing him that the Kapitlach ( Chapters)and numbering the Pesukim in Tanach, was done by Christians and it’s highly unlikely, the Goy had in mind his shtikel Torah when he started a new chapter with the last Pasuk of the previous Parsha.
It is possible, Leshitosom the number 770 has a lot of significance even though this address was probably made up by a Goy in City Hall.
The same will also apply to the numbering of the Pesukim.
Even though it was made up by a Goy, there must be an explanation why the Goy did it.
