    Hebrews 11
    •   Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
    •   For by it the elders obtained a good report.
    •   Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which appeared.
    •   By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
    •   By faith Enoch was translated, that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
    •   But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
    •   By faith Noah, being warned by God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
    •   By faith Abraham, when he was called to remove into a place which he should afterwards receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out not knowing whither he was going.
    •   By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as [in] a foreign country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
    • 10   For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker [is] God.
    • 11   Through faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
    • 12   Therefore there sprang even from one, and him as good as dead, [so many] as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea-shore innumerable.
    • 13   These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of [them], and embraced [them], and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
    • 14   For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
    • 15   And truly, if they had been mindful of that [country] from whence they came, they might have had opportunity to return.
    • 16   But now they desire a better [country], that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he hath prepared for them a city.
    • 17   By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only-begotten [son],
    • 18   Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
    • 19   Accounting that God [was] able to raise [him] even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
    • 20   By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
    • 21   By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshiped, [leaning] upon the top of his staff.
    • 22   By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
    • 23   By faith Moses when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw [he was] a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
    • 24   By faith Moses, when he had come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
    • 25   Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
    • 26   Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he had respect to the recompense of the reward.
    • 27   By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
    • 28   Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the first-born should touch them.
    • 29   By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry [land]: which the Egyptians essaying to do were drowned.
    • 30   By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encompassed seven days.
    • 31   By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, as she had received the spies with peace.
    • 32   And what shall I say more? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and [of] Barak, and [of] Samson, and [of] Jephthah, [of] David also, and Samuel, and [of] the prophets:
    • 33   Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
    • 34   Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
    • 35   Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
    • 36   And others had trial of [cruel] mockings and scourgings, and, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
    • 37   They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheep-skins, and goat-skins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
    • 38   (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and [in] mountains, and [in] dens and caves of the earth.
    • 39   And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
    • 40   God having provided some better [thing] for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

    Webster Bible Electronic Format.
    PUBLIC DOMAIN

    February 1992

    Beginning in July of 1991 the task of placing the Webster Bible text in electronic format began. The original purpose was to provide Larry Pierce, who produces the On-Line Bible program, with a more modern *public domain* text, similar in content and style to the AV but with a grammar that would provide better comprehension in todays English.

    I plan on maintaining an accurate copy of the Webster text. Anyone finding an error should contact me; Anyone desiring to obtain the latest, most correct text, can find it on the Bible Foundation BBS, or can contact me in the following methods:

    I would like to thank the Bible Foundation not only for scanning nearly the entire Webster Bible but for encouraging me to undertake this monumental work; particularly around page 20 when I realized what I had gotten myself into. Special thanks to Jerry Kingery of the Bible Foundation for scanning, and Jerry Hastings for doing some preliminary scan cleaning and making the texts available on the BBS.

Basic Hash Usage Explained

At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.

We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.

Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.

Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.

Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.

The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.

We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
