    Leviticus 25
    •   And the LORD spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
    •   Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath to the LORD.
    •   Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
    •   But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest to the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
    •   That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest, thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: [for] it is a year of rest to the land.
    •   And the sabbath of the land shall be food for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,
    •   And for thy cattle, and for the beast that [are] in thy land, shall all the increase of it be food.
    •   And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years to thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to thee forty and nine years.
    •   Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound, on the tenth [day] of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
    • 10   And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout [all] the land to all its inhabitants: it shall be a jubilee to you; and ye shall return every man to his possession, and ye shall return every man to his family.
    • 11   A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be to you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather [the grapes] in it of thy vine undressed.
    • 12   For it [is] the jubilee; it shall be holy to you: ye shall eat the increase of it out of the field.
    • 13   In the year of this jubilee ye shall return every man to his possession.
    • 14   And if thou shalt sell aught to thy neighbor, or buy [aught] of thy neighbor's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:
    • 15   According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbor, [and] according to the number of years of the fruits he shall sell to thee:
    • 16   According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price of it, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for [according] to the number [of the years] of the fruits doth he sell to thee.
    • 17   Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I [am] the LORD your God.
    • 18   Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
    • 19   And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell in it in safety.
    • 20   And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow nor gather in our increase:
    • 21   Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
    • 22   And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat of old fruit until the ninth year; until its fruits come in ye shall eat [of] the old [store].
    • 23   The land shall not be sold for ever; for the land [is] mine, for ye [are] strangers and sojourners with me.
    • 24   And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.
    • 25   If thy brother shall have become poor, and have sold [some] of his possession, and if any of his kin shall come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.
    • 26   And if the man shall have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;
    • 27   Then let him count the years of the sale of it, and restore the overplus to the man to whom he sold it; that he may return to his possession.
    • 28   But if he shall not be able to restore [it] to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubilee: and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return to his possession.
    • 29   And if a man shall sell a dwelling-house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold: [within] a full year may he redeem it.
    • 30   And if it shall not be redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that [is] in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it, throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubilee,
    • 31   But the houses of the villages which have no walls around them, shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.
    • 32   Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, [and] the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.
    • 33   And if a man shall purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession shall go out in the [year of] jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites [are] their possession among the children of Israel.
    • 34   But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold, for it [is] their perpetual possession.
    • 35   And if thy brother shall have become poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: [yea, though he] may [be] a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.
    • 36   Take thou no interest of him, or increase; but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.
    • 37   Thou shalt not give him thy money upon interest, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.
    • 38   I [am] the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, [and] to be your God.
    • 39   And if thy brother [that dwelleth] by thee shall have become poor, and be sold to thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bond servant:
    • 40   [But] as a hired servant, [and] as a sojourner he shall be with thee, [and] shall serve thee to the year of jubilee.
    • 41   And [then] shall he depart from thee, [both] he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers shall he return.
    • 42   For they [are] my servants, which I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as bond-men.
    • 43   Thou shalt not rule over him with rigor, but shalt fear thy God.
    • 44   Both thy bond-men, and thy bond-maids, which thou shalt have, [shall be] of the heathen that are around you; of them shall ye buy bond-men and bond-maids.
    • 45   Moreover of the children of the strangers that sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.
    • 46   And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit [them for] a possession, they shall be your bond-men for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigor.
    • 47   And if a sojourner or a stranger shall become rich by thee, and thy brother [that dwelleth] by him shall become poor, and sell himself to the stranger [or] sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family:
    • 48   After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:
    • 49   Either his uncle, or his uncle's son may redeem him, or [any] that is nigh of kin to him of his family, may redeem him; or if he is able, he may redeem himself.
    • 50   And he shall reckon with him that bought him, from the year that he was sold to him, to the year of jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years, according to the time of a hired servant shall it be with him.
    • 51   If [there shall be] yet many years [behind], according to them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
    • 52   And if there shall remain but few years to the year of jubilee, then he shall count with him, [and] according to his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.
    • 53   [And] as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: [and the other] shall not rule with rigor over him in thy sight.
    • 54   And if he shall not be redeemed in these [years], then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, [both] he, and his children with him.
    • 55   For to me the children of Israel [are] servants, they [are] my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God.

    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.
