For the purpose of this study, A statistical test of Biblical books was conducted using the recently discovered probability models for text homogeneity and text change point detection. Accordingly, translations of Biblical books of Tigrigna and Amharic (major languages spoken in Eritrea and Ethiopia) and English were studied. A Zipf-Mandelbrot distribution with a parameter range of 0.55 to 0.88 was obtained in these three Bibles. According to the statistical analysis of the texts' homogeneity, the translation of Bible in each of these three languages was a heterogeneous concatenation of different books or genres. Furthermore, an in-depth examination of the text segmentation of prat of a single genre-the English Bible letters revealed that the Pauline letters are heterogeneous concatenations of two homogeneous segments.
本研究采用最近发现的文本同质性和文本变化点检测概率模型，对圣经书籍进行了统计检验。因此，研究了厄立特里亚和埃塞俄比亚主要语言提格里尼亚语和阿姆哈拉语以及英语的圣经书籍翻译。在这三个圣经中得到了参数范围为 0.55 到 0.88 的齐夫-曼德尔布罗特分布。根据文本同质性的统计分析，这三种语言中的每一种圣经翻译都是不同书籍或体裁的异质拼接。此外，对单一体裁（英文圣经书信）的文本分割进行深入检查后发现，保罗书信是两个同质段的异质拼接。
