Why the Bible is divided by verses and numbers?

It always looked so weird to me, like, who not just read the Bible like a proper book instead of having all of those numbering?

I guess it's because it makes easy to find some specific line? But that is from an academic perspective instead of something you would put in a faith book?

When did that started and why they put all the numbering?
