Why does the Tanakh yomi seem like it ends a pasuk before it is supposed to? Today, for instance, it ended with 1 pasuk before the beginning of Perek 19

On weekdays, the sections from Prophets and Writings in Tanakh Yomi are recited according to the ancient Masoretic division of sedarim. Hebcal uses the section divisions as published by Sefaria.org.

For example, looking at recent days:

Friday, 24 October 2025

Joshua Seder 9

Joshua 14:15-17:3

Sunday, 26 October 2025

Joshua Seder 10

Joshua 17:4-18:27

Monday, 27 October 2025

Joshua Seder 11

Joshua 18:28-19:50

Indeed, the Masoretic sectional divisions seem closely but not perfectly aligned with modern chapter divisions.

I'm not an expert in why and how the Masoretic sectional divisions differ from modern chapter divisions.
