    Exodus 21
    •   Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
    •   If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
    •   If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
    •   If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master’s, and he shall go out by himself.
    •   And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
    •   Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever.
    •   And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
    •   If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.
    •   And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
    • 10   If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
    • 11   And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.
    • 12   He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.
    • 13   And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.
    • 14   But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.
    • 15   And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
    • 16   And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
    • 17   And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
    • 18   And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:
    • 19   If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
    • 20   And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
    • 21   Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.
    • 22   If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
    • 23   And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
    • 24   Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
    • 25   Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
    • 26   And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye’s sake.
    • 27   And if he smite out his manservant’s tooth, or his maidservant’s tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth’s sake.
    • 28   If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.
    • 29   But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.
    • 30   If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.
    • 31   Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.
    • 32   If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
    • 33   And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein;
    • 34   The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.
    • 35   And if one man’s ox hurt another’s, that he die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall divide.
    • 36   Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own.

  • King James Version (kjv - 3.1)

    2023-07-19

    English (en)

    This is the King James Version of the Holy Bible (also known as the Authorized Version) with embedded Strong's Numbers. The rights to the base text are held by the Crown of England.
    The Strong's numbers in the OT were obtained from The Bible Foundation: http://www.bf.org. The NT Strong's data was obtained from The KJV2003 Project at CrossWire: http://www.crosswire.org. These mechanisms provide a useful means for looking up the exact original language word in a lexicon that is keyed to Strong's numbers.

    Special thanks to the volunteers at Bible Foundation for keying the Hebrew/English data and of Project KJV2003 for working toward the completion of synchronizing the English phrases to the Stephanas Textus Receptus, and to Dr. Maurice Robinson for providing the base Greek text with Strong's and Morphology.
    We are also appreciative of formatting markup that was provided by Michael Paul Johnson at http://www.ebible.org. Their time and generosity to contribute such for the free use of the Body of Christ is a great blessing and this derivitive work could not have been possible without these efforts of so many individuals.
    Version 3.1 incorporates a more recent set of TR data from Dr. Maurice Robinson than was used in all the earlier versions. The TR data was obtained in 2016 from the Greek New Testament sources website
    https://sites.google.com/a/wmail.fi/greeknt/home/greeknt
    This was integrated into the OSIS source files of an intermediate version 2.9a hosted at
    https://www.crosswire.org/~dmsmith/kjv2011/kjv2.9a/
    It is in this spirit that we in turn offer the KJV2003 Project text freely for any purpose.
    Any copyright that might be obtained for this effort is held by CrossWire Bible Society © 2003-2023 and CrossWire Bible Society hereby grants a general public license to use this text for any purpose.

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.
