    Exodus 12
    •   And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying,
    •   This month shall be to you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
    •   Speak you to all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
    •   And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
    •   Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: you shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
    •   And you shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
    •   And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
    •   And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
    •   Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the entrails thereof.
    • 10   And you shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.
    • 11   And thus shall you eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover.
    • 12   For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
    • 13   And the blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
    • 14   And this day shall be to you for a memorial; and you shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
    • 15   Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
    • 16   And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
    • 17   And you shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall you observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
    • 18   In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
    • 19   Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whoever eats that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
    • 20   You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall you eat unleavened bread.
    • 21   Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.
    • 22   And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.
    • 23   For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in to your houses to smite you.
    • 24   And you shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons for ever.
    • 25   And it shall come to pass, when you be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he has promised, that you shall keep this service.
    • 26   And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say to you, What mean you by this service?
    • 27   That you shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
    • 28   And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
    • 29   And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
    • 30   And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
    • 31   And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as you have said.
    • 32   Also take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
    • 33   And the Egyptians were urgent on the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.
    • 34   And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.
    • 35   And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:
    • 36   And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent to them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
    • 37   And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
    • 38   And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
    • 39   And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
    • 40   Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelled in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
    • 41   And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
    • 42   It is a night to be much observed to the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.
    • 43   And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
    • 44   But every man's servant that is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
    • 45   A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
    • 46   In one house shall it be eaten; you shall not carry forth any of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall you break a bone thereof.
    • 47   All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
    • 48   And when a stranger shall sojourn with you, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
    • 49   One law shall be to him that is home born, and to the stranger that sojourns among you.
    • 50   Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
    • 51   And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
    •   And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying,
    •   This month shall be to you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
    •   Speak you to all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:

    American King James Version
    Produced by Stone Engelbrite

    This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.

    I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.

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.
