WORD Research this...Job 28
- 1 Truly there is a mine for silver, and a place where gold is washed out.
- 2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and stone is changed into brass by the fire.
- 3 Man puts an end to the dark, searching out to the farthest limit the stones of the deep places of the dark.
- 4 He makes a deep mine far away from those living in the light of day; when they go about on the earth, they have no knowledge of those who are under them, who are hanging far from men, twisting from side to side on a cord.
- 5 As for the earth, bread comes out of it; but under its face it is turned up as if by fire.
- 6 Its stones are the place of sapphires, and it has dust of gold.
- 7 No bird has knowledge of it, and the hawk's eye has never seen it.
- 8 The great beasts have not gone over it, and the cruel lion has not taken that way.
- 9 Man puts out his hand on the hard rock, overturning mountains by the roots.
- 10 He makes deep ways, cut through the rock, and his eye sees everything of value.
- 11 He keeps back the streams from flowing, and makes the secret things come out into the light.
- 12 But where may wisdom be seen? and where is the resting-place of knowledge?
- 13 Man has not seen the way to it, and it is not in the land of the living.
- 14 The deep waters say, It is not in me: and the sea says, It is not with me.
- 15 Gold may not be given for it, or a weight of silver in payment for it.
- 16 It may not be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the onyx of great price, or the sapphire.
- 17 Gold and glass are not equal to it in price, and it may not be exchanged for jewels of the best gold.
- 18 There is no need to say anything about coral or crystal; and the value of wisdom is greater than that of pearls.
- 19 The topaz of Ethiopia is not equal to it, and it may not be valued with the best gold.
- 20 From where then does wisdom come, and where is the resting-place of knowledge?
- 21 For it is kept secret from the eyes of all living, unseen by the birds of the air.
- 22 Destruction and Death say, We have only had word of it with our ears.
- 23 God has knowledge of the way to it, and of its resting-place;
- 24 For his eyes go to the ends of the earth, and he sees everything under heaven.
- 25 When he made a weight for the wind, measuring out the waters;
- 26 When he made a law for the rain, and a way for the thunder-flames;
- 27 Then he saw it, and put it on record; he gave it its fixed form, searching it out completely.
- 28 And he said to man, Truly the fear of the Lord is wisdom, and to keep from evil is the way to knowledge.

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.
