I too am working through Hebrews now. I’ve reached the middle of chapter 5. But I know what you mean about the ‘logic’ of chapter 4. As I review it, I’m increasingly realising that I don’t have a very firm grasp of God’s offer to us to enter his eternal rest ‘today’, and to live in the reality of that rest.

Thanks Joosep. Your commitment to scripture memory is motivational, and what’s more, you are a great encourager.

No, I don’t review verses that have reached 100% - they’re in a category you could call ‘I know this verse now, more-or-less’. Reaching 100% on this site is not the same, for me, as word-perfect perfect recall.
But when a chapter comes up for review, I do use ‘test-instead-of-read’ until there are just a few verses left, so I am reviewing the 100% verses in that case.

Woohoo! It took me 6 years to reach 1000, and nearly another six years to get to 2000!

A big congratulations. That's a marvelous achievment.

One question: do you ever review your verses which have reached 100%, or do you turn your full attention to fully new verses?

thank you for sharing that. Recently I've begun using a spreadsheet to "memorize"some specific areas of the Bible. The spreadsheet determines when I will review the passage again. I expect I'll do it almost the same as you, moving on after the passage reaches 100 percent. Some of these verses are passages which I'm memorizing for the 2nd time, having done a big reset several months ago. I pray to be consistent with this, as some others are here.

I put "memorize" in quotation marks because I believe I'm doing it in a way similar to you -- I use hints, for example.

So I'm aiming to reach 100 percent, but not for word for word perfect recall.

Thanks Joosep. Your commitment to scripture memory is motivational, and what’s more, you are a great encourager.

thank you

You’re both a big encouragement!
