The Quran in general is divided into chapters (surah) and verses (ayat). It is additionally divided into 30 equal sections, called juz . Of note, division into Juzʾ has no relevance to the meaning of the Quran and anyone can start reading from anywhere in the Quran. The divisions of juz do not fall evenly along chapter lines. These divisions make it easier to pace the reading over a month’s period, reading a fairly equal amount each day. This is particularly important during the month of Ramadan, when it is recommended to complete at least one full reading of the Quran from cover to cover. Some use this divisions to facilitate recitation of the Quran in a month, especially during Ramadan when the entire Quran is recited in the Tarawih prayers, reciting approximately one juzʾ a night. 

The third juz’ of the Quran starts from verse 253 of the second chapter (2.Al-Baqarah :253) and continues to verse 91 of the third chapter (3.Ali-Imran :91).

And so have the believers! They have all believed (in line with the meaning denoted by the letter B) that the Names of Allah comprise their essence, and in the angels (the forces of the Names constituting their being), the Books (all revealed knowledge) and the Rasuls...

Only Allah knows its [true] interpretation [i.e. the exact messages these verses denote]. But those firm in knowledge (deep contemplators) say, ‘We believe in it. All [of it] is from our Rabb.’ And no one can discern this except those who have reached the essence (the enlightened ones with whom Allah hears, sees and speaks).” (Quran 3:7)
