    Genesis 37
    •   And Jacob dwelled in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
    •   These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought to his father their evil report.
    •   Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors.
    •   And when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.
    •   And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brothers: and they hated him yet the more.
    •   And he said to them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
    •   For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, see, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
    •   And his brothers said to him, Shall you indeed reign over us? or shall you indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
    •   And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brothers, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
    • 10   And he told it to his father, and to his brothers: and his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow down ourselves to you to the earth?
    • 11   And his brothers envied him; but his father observed the saying.
    • 12   And his brothers went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
    • 13   And Israel said to Joseph, Do not your brothers feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send you to them. And he said to him, Here am I.
    • 14   And he said to him, Go, I pray you, see whether it be well with your brothers, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
    • 15   And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seek you?
    • 16   And he said, I seek my brothers: tell me, I pray you, where they feed their flocks.
    • 17   And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
    • 18   And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near to them, they conspired against him to slay him.
    • 19   And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer comes.
    • 20   Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast has devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
    • 21   And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
    • 22   And Reuben said to them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand on him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
    • 23   And it came to pass, when Joseph was come to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colors that was on him;
    • 24   And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
    • 25   And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
    • 26   And Judah said to his brothers, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
    • 27   Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be on him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brothers were content.
    • 28   Then there passed by Midianites merchants; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
    • 29   And Reuben returned to the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
    • 30   And he returned to his brothers, and said, The child is not; and I, where shall I go?
    • 31   And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
    • 32   And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be your son's coat or no.
    • 33   And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast has devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
    • 34   And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
    • 35   And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave to my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.
    • 36   And the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.
    •   And Jacob dwelled in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
    •   These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Joseph brought to his father their evil report.
    •   Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors.

    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.
