    Genesis 29
    • 1   Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
    • 2   And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well’s mouth.
    • 3   And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well’s mouth in his place.
    • 4   And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.
    • 5   And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
    • 6   And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
    • 7   And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
    • 8   And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.
    • 9   And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep: for she kept them.
    • 10   And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.
    • 11   And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
    • 12   And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son: and she ran and told her father.
    • 13   And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
    • 14   And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
    • 15   And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
    • 16   And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
    • 17   Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.
    • 18   And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
    • 19   And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
    • 20   And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
    • 21   And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
    • 22   And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
    • 23   And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
    • 24   And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
    • 25   And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
    • 26   And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
    • 27   Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
    • 28   And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
    • 29   And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
    • 30   And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
    • 31   And when the Lord saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
    • 32   And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the Lord hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
    • 33   And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the Lord hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.
    • 34   And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
    • 35   And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the Lord: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.

  • 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.
