WORD Research this...Genesis 29
- 1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
- 2 And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, see, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was on the well's mouth.
- 3 And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again on the well's mouth in his place.
- 4 And Jacob said to them, My brothers, from where be you? And they said, Of Haran are we.
- 5 And he said to them, Know you Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
- 6 And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter comes with the sheep.
- 7 And he said, See, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water you the sheep, and go and feed them.
- 8 And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep. ¶
- 9 And while he yet spoke with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep; for she kept them.
- 10 And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
- 11 And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
- 12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father.
- 13 And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
- 14 And Laban said to him, Surely you are my bone and my flesh. And he stayed with him the space of a month. ¶
- 15 And Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? tell me, what shall your wages be?
- 16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
- 17 Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favored.
- 18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter.
- 19 And Laban said, It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
- 20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had to her. ¶
- 21 And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
- 22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
- 23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in to her.
- 24 And Laban gave to his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
- 25 And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this you have done to me? did not I serve with you for Rachel? why then have you beguiled me?
- 26 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
- 27 Fulfill her week, and we will give you this also for the service which you shall serve with me yet seven other years.
- 28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
- 29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
- 30 And he went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years. ¶
- 31 And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
- 32 And Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD has looked on my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
- 33 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Because the LORD has heard I was hated, he has therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.
- 34 And she conceived again, and bore a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined to me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
- 35 And she conceived again, and bore a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.
- 1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
- 2 And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, see, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was on the well’s mouth.

American King James Version (akjv - 2.1)
2023-12-27English (en)
American King James Version
Produced by Stone Engelbrite
This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.
I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.

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.
