    Joshua 21
    •   Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel;
    •   And they spoke to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for our cattle.
    •   And the children of Israel gave to the Levites out of their inheritance, at the commandment of the LORD, these cities and their suburbs.
    •   And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and the children of Aaron the priest, [who were] of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of Simeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities.
    •   And the rest of the children of Kohath [had] by lot out of the families of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half-tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.
    •   And the children of Gershon [had] by lot out of the families of the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Asher, and out of the tribe of Naphtali, and out of the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities.
    •   The children of Merari by their families [had] out of the tribe of Reuben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities.

    • 11   And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak (which [city is] Hebron) in the hill-[country] of Judah, with its suburbs round it.
    • 12   But the fields of the city, and its villages, they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.

    • 15   And Holon with its suburbs, and Debir with its suburbs,

    • 21   For they gave them Shechem with its suburbs in mount Ephraim, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Gezer with its suburbs,
    • 22   And Kibzaim with its suburbs, and Beth-horon with its suburbs; four cities.
    • 23   And out of the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh with its suburbs, Gibbethon with its suburbs,
    • 24   Ajalon with its suburbs, Gath-rimmon with its suburbs; four cities.
    • 25   And out of the half-tribe of Manasseh, Taanach with its suburbs, and Gath-rimmon with its suburbs; two cities.
    • 26   All the cities [were] ten with their suburbs, for the families of the children of Kohath that remained.
    • 27   And to the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out of the [other] half-tribe of Manasseh [they gave] Golan in Bashan with its suburbs, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer, and Beesh-terah with its suburbs; two cities.
    • 28   And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishon with its suburbs, Dabareh with its suburbs,
    • 29   Jarmuth with its suburbs, En-gannim with its suburbs; four cities.

    • 33   All the cities of the Gershonites, according to their families, [were] thirteen cities with their suburbs.
    • 34   And to the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with its suburbs, and Kartah with its suburbs,
    • 35   Dimnah with its suburbs, Nahalal with its suburbs; four cities.
    • 36   And out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with its suburbs, and Jahazah with its suburbs,
    • 37   Kedemoth with its suburbs, and Mephaath with its suburbs; four cities.
    • 38   And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with its suburbs [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Mahanaim with its suburbs,
    • 39   Heshbon with its suburbs, Jazer with its suburbs; four cities in all.
    • 40   So all the cities for the children of Merari by their families, which were remaining of the families of the Levites, were [by] their lot twelve cities.
    • 41   All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel [were] forty and eight cities with their suburbs.
    • 42   These cities were every one with their suburbs around them. Thus [were] all these cities.
    • 43   And the LORD gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give to their fathers: and they possessed it, and dwelt in it.
    • 44   And the LORD gave them rest on all sides, according to all that he swore to their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.
    • 45   There failed not aught of any good thing which the LORD had spoken to the house of Israel; all came to pass.

    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.
