    Numbers 31
    • 1   Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
    • 2   “Avenge the children of Israel for the Midianites. Afterward you shall be gathered to your people.”
    • 3   Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Arm men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute Yahweh’s vengeance on Midian.
    • 4   Of every tribe one thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, you shall send to the war.”
    • 5   So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
    • 6   Moses sent them, one thousand of every tribe, to the war, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.
    • 7   They fought against Midian, as Yahweh commanded Moses. They killed every male.
    • 8   They killed the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam the son of Beor with the sword.
    • 9   The children of Israel took the women of Midian captive with their little ones; and all their livestock, all their flocks, and all their goods, they took as plunder.
    • 10   All their cities in the places in which they lived, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire.
    • 11   They took all the captives, and all the plunder, both of man and of animal.
    • 12   They brought the captives, and the prey, and the plunder, to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the children of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho.
    • 13   Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went out to meet them outside of the camp.
    • 14   Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war.
    • 15   Moses said to them, “Have you saved all the women alive?
    • 16   Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against Yahweh in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of Yahweh.
    • 17   Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him.
    • 18   But all the girls, who have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
    • 19   “Encamp outside of the camp seven days. Whoever has killed any person, and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, you and your captives.
    • 20   As to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats’ hair, and all things made of wood, you shall purify yourselves.”
    • 21   Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to the battle, “This is the statute of the law which Yahweh has commanded Moses:
    • 22   however the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
    • 23   everything that may withstand the fire, you shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water for impurity. All that doesn’t withstand the fire you shall make to go through the water.
    • 24   You shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall be clean. Afterward you shall come into the camp.”
    • 25   Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
    • 26   “Count the plunder that was taken, both of man and of animal, you, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers’ households of the congregation;
    • 27   and divide the plunder into two parts: between the men skilled in war, who went out to battle, and all the congregation.
    • 28   Levy a tribute to Yahweh of the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred; of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the flocks.
    • 29   Take it from their half, and give it to Eleazar the priest, for Yahweh’s wave offering.
    • 30   Of the children of Israel’s half, you shall take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the flocks, of all the livestock, and give them to the Levites, who perform the duty of Yahweh’s tabernacle.”
    • 31   Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Yahweh commanded Moses.
    • 32   Now the plunder, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
    • 33   and seventy-two thousand head of cattle,
    • 34   and sixty-one thousand donkeys,
    • 35   and thirty-two thousand persons in all, of the women who had not known man by lying with him.
    • 36   The half, which was the portion of those who went out to war, was in number three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep:
    • 37   and Yahweh’s tribute of the sheep was six hundred seventy-five.
    • 38   The cattle were thirty-six thousand; of which Yahweh’s tribute was seventy-two.
    • 39   The donkeys were thirty thousand five hundred; of which Yahweh’s tribute was sixty-one.
    • 40   The persons were sixteen thousand; of whom Yahweh’s tribute was thirty-two persons.
    • 41   Moses gave the tribute, which was Yahweh’s wave offering, to Eleazar the priest, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
    • 42   Of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided off from the men who fought
    • 43   (now the congregation’s half was three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,
    • 44   and thirty-six thousand head of cattle,
    • 45   and thirty thousand five hundred donkeys,
    • 46   and sixteen thousand persons),
    • 47   even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of animal, and gave them to the Levites, who performed the duty of Yahweh’s tabernacle; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
    • 48   The officers who were over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near to Moses.
    • 49   They said to Moses, “Your servants have taken the sum of the men of war who are under our command, and there lacks not one man of us.
    • 50   We have brought Yahweh’s offering, what every man has gotten, of jewels of gold, armlets, and bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for our souls before Yahweh.”
    • 51   Moses and Eleazar the priest took their gold, even all worked jewels.
    • 52   All the gold of the wave offering that they offered up to Yahweh, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred fifty shekels.
    • 53   The men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.
    • 54   Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the Tent of Meeting, for a memorial for the children of Israel before Yahweh.

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.
