    Numbers 31
    •   And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
    •   Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered to thy people.
    •   And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves for the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD on Midian.
    •   Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
    •   So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of [every] tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
    •   And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of [every] tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
    •   And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
    •   And they slew the kings of Midian, besides the rest of them that were slain; [namely], Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
    •   And the children of Israel took [all] the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.
    • 10   And they burnt all their cities in which they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.
    • 11   And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, [both] of men and of beasts.
    • 12   And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the children of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which [are] by Jordan [near] Jericho.
    • 13   And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
    • 14   And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, [with] the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, who came from the battle.
    • 15   And Moses said to them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
    • 16   Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD, in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
    • 17   Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
    • 18   But all the female children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
    • 19   And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whoever hath killed any person, and whoever hath touched any slain, purify [both] yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
    • 20   And purify all [your] raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' [hair], and all things made of wood.
    • 21   And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to the battle, This [is] the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;
    • 22   Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
    • 23   Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make [it] go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.
    • 24   And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
    • 25   And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
    • 26   Take the sum of the prey that was taken, [both] of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
    • 27   And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:
    • 28   And levy a tribute to the LORD of the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
    • 29   Take [it] of their half, and give [it] to Eleazar the priest, [for] a heave-offering of the LORD.
    • 30   And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them to the Levites, who keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.
    • 31   And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
    • 32   And the booty, [being] the rest of the prey which the men of war had taken, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
    • 33   And seventy two thousand beeves,
    • 34   And sixty one thousand asses,
    • 35   And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.
    • 36   And the half [which was] the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:
    • 37   And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and seventy five.
    • 38   And the beeves [were] thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute [was] seventy two.
    • 39   And the asses [were] thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD'S tribute [was] sixty one.
    • 40   And the persons [were] sixteen thousand, of which the LORD'S tribute [was] thirty and two persons.
    • 41   And Moses gave the tribute, [which was] the LORD'S heave-offering, to Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
    • 42   And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,
    • 43   (Now the half [that pertained to] the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand [and] seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
    • 44   And thirty and six thousand beeves,
    • 45   And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
    • 46   And sixteen thousand persons;)
    • 47   Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, [both] of man and of beast, and gave them to the Levites, who kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
    • 48   And the officers who [were] over thousands of the hosts, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near to Moses:
    • 49   And they said to Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war who [are] under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
    • 50   We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath obtained of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, ear-rings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.
    • 51   And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, [even] all wrought jewels.
    • 52   And all the gold of the offering that they offered to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
    • 53   ([For] the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
    • 54   And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, [for] a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.

    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.
