    Numbers 35
    •   And the LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
    •   Command the children of Israel, that they give to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and you shall give also to the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.
    •   And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.
    •   And the suburbs of the cities, which you shall give to the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.
    •   And you shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city shall be in the middle: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
    •   And among the cities which you shall give to the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which you shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them you shall add forty and two cities.
    •   So all the cities which you shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall you give with their suburbs.
    •   And the cities which you shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many you shall give many; but from them that have few you shall give few: every one shall give of his cities to the Levites according to his inheritance which he inherits.
    •   And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
    • 10   Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
    • 11   Then you shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which kills any person at unawares.
    • 12   And they shall be to you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.
    • 13   And of these cities which you shall give six cities shall you have for refuge.
    • 14   You shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall you give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.
    • 15   These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that kills any person unawares may flee thither.
    • 16   And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
    • 17   And if he smite him with throwing a stone, with which he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
    • 18   Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, with which he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
    • 19   The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meets him, he shall slay him.
    • 20   But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;
    • 21   Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meets him.
    • 22   But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast on him any thing without laying of wait,
    • 23   Or with any stone, with which a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it on him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
    • 24   Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:
    • 25   And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, where he was fled: and he shall abide in it to the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.
    • 26   But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, where he was fled;
    • 27   And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:
    • 28   Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.
    • 29   So these things shall be for a statute of judgment to you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
    • 30   Whoever kills any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.
    • 31   Moreover you shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.
    • 32   And you shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
    • 33   So you shall not pollute the land wherein you are: for blood it defiles the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
    • 34   Defile not therefore the land which you shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
    •   And the LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
    •   Command the children of Israel, that they give to the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and you shall give also to the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.

    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.
