Raamatussa

Raamatussa is Finnish for "in the Bible." It is formed from the noun Raamattu (the Bible) with the inessive suffix -ssa, which indicates location inside something. Therefore, Raamatussa refers to content that is located within the biblical text.

The term is widely used in religious and scholarly writing, sermons, and everyday speech to indicate that a statement, event, or quotation originates from Scripture. Common phrases include "Raamatussa sanotaan..." (In the Bible it says...) and "Raamatussa kerrotaan..." (The Bible tells...). It is typically used to introduce a verse or to provide context for a quotation from Scripture. Raamatussa differs from related forms such as "Raamatusta" (from the Bible), "Raamattuun" (to the Bible), and "Raamatun" (the Bible’s, genitive).

In Finnish, "Raamattu" is the standard name for the Bible, and its inflected forms appear throughout religious and educational texts available in Finnish. The usage of Raamatussa reflects common Finnish grammar and helps situate statements within the canonical text of Scripture.
