Firstly, the Bible, as we know it, is a collection of books and sections that were written over several thousand years.

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?

You have this backward. It’s very important for texts of proselytizing religions to be easy to navigate and repeat.

As for when/why it started, this article from BibleOdyssey.org does a good job of explaining that in detail.
