    Genesis 31
    • 1   And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that [was] our father's; and of [that] which [was] our father's hath he obtained all this glory.
    • 2   And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and behold, it [was] not towards him as before.
    • 3   And the LORD said to Jacob, Return to the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
    • 4   And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah into the field to his flock,
    • 5   And said to them, I see your father's countenance, that it [is] not towards me as before: but the God of my father hath been with me.
    • 6   And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
    • 7   And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times: but God suffered him not to hurt me.
    • 8   If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bore speckled: and if he said thus, The ring-streaked shall be thy hire; then all the cattle bore ring-streaked.
    • 9   Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given [them] to me.
    • 10   And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up my eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle [were] ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled.
    • 11   And the angel of God spoke to me in a dream, [saying], Jacob: And I said, Here [am] I.
    • 12   And he said, Lift up now thy eyes and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle [are] ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth to thee.
    • 13   I [am] the God of Beth-el, where thou anointedst the pillar, [and] where thou vowedst to me a vow: now arise, depart from this land, and return to the land of thy kindred.
    • 14   And Rachel and Leah answered, and said to him, [Is there] yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
    • 15   Are we not counted by him strangers; for he hath sold us, and hath quite consumed also our money.
    • 16   For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that [is] ours, and our children's: now then whatever God hath said to thee, do.
    • 17   Then Jacob arose, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;
    • 18   And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gained, the cattle of his getting, which he had gained in Padan-aram; to go to Isaac, his father, in the land of Canaan.
    • 19   And Laban went to shear his sheep; and Rachel had stolen the images that [were] her father's.
    • 20   And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he was about to depart.
    • 21   So he fled with all that he had; and he arose, and passed over the river, and set his face [towards] the mount Gilead.
    • 22   And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.
    • 23   And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey: and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.
    • 24   And God came to Laban, the Syrian, in a dream by night, and said to him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
    • 25   Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban, with his brethren, pitched in the mount of Gilead.
    • 26   And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives [taken] with the sword?
    • 27   Why didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me, and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?
    • 28   And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons, and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in [so] doing.
    • 29   It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spoke to me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
    • 30   And now, [though] thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou didst earnestly long after thy father's house; [yet] why hast thou stolen my gods?
    • 31   And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, It may be thou wouldest take thy daughters from me by force.
    • 32   With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what [is] thine with me, and take [it] to thee: for Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.
    • 33   And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maid-servants' tents; but he found [them] not. Then he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
    • 34   Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found [them] not.
    • 35   And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women [is] upon me. And he searched, but found not the images.
    • 36   And Jacob was wroth, and chid with Laban: and Jacob answered, and said to Laban, What [is] my trespass? what [is] my sin, that thou hast so eagerly pursued after me?
    • 37   Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household-stuff? set [it] here before my brethren, and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both.
    • 38   These twenty years [have] I [been] with thee: thy ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.
    • 39   That which was torn by beasts, I brought not to thee; I bore the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, [whether] stolen by day, or stolen by night.
    • 40   [Thus] I was; in the day the drouth consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from my eyes.
    • 41   Thus have I been twenty years in thy house: I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
    • 42   Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac had been with me, surely thou hadst now sent me away empty. God hath seen my affliction, and the labor of my hands, and rebuked [thee] yesternight.
    • 43   And Laban answered, and said to Jacob, [These] daughters [are] my daughters, and [these] children [are] my children, and [these] cattle [are] my cattle, and all that thou seest [is] mine; and what can I do this day to these my daughters, or to their children which they have borne?
    • 44   Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.
    • 45   And Jacob took a stone, and set it up [for] a pillar.
    • 46   And Jacob said to his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made a heap: and they ate there upon the heap.
    • 47   And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed:
    • 48   And Laban said, This heap [is] a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed:
    • 49   And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.
    • 50   If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take [other] wives besides my daughters; no man [is] with us; See, God [is] witness betwixt me and thee.
    • 51   And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold [this] pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee;
    • 52   This heap [be] witness, and [this] pillar [be] witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.
    • 53   The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.
    • 54   Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they ate bread, and tarried all night in the mount.
    • 55   And early in the morning Laban arose, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned to his place.

    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.
