WORD Research this...Esther 15
- 1 And he commanded her (no doubt but he was Mardochai) to go to the king, and petition for her people, and for her country.
- 2 Remember, (said he,) the days of thy low estate, how thou wast brought up by my hand, because Aman the second after the king hath spoken against us unto death.
- 3 And do thou call upon the Lord, and speak to the king for us, and deliver us from death.
- 4 And on the third day she laid away the garments she wore, and put on her glorious apparel.
- 5 And glittering in royal robes, after she had called upon God the ruler and Saviour of all, she took two maids with her,
- 6 And upon one of them she leaned, as if for delicateness and overmuch tenderness she were not able to bear up her own body.
- 7 And the other maid followed her lady, bearing up her train flowing on the ground.
- 8 But she with a rosy colour in her face, and with gracious and bright eyes hid a mind full of anguish, and exceeding great fear.
- 9 So going in she passed through all doors in order, and stood before the king, where he sat upon his royal throne, clothed with his royal robes, and glittering with gold, and precious stones, and he was terrible to behold.
- 10 And when he had lifted up his countenance, and with burning eyes had shewn the wrath of his heart, the queen sunk down, and her colour turned pale, and she rested her weary head upon her handmaid.
- 11 And God changed the king's spirit into mildness, and all in haste and in fear he leaped from his throne, and holding her up in his arms, till she came to herself, caressed her with these words:
- 12 What is the matter, Esther? I am thy brother, fear not.
- 13 Thou shalt not die: for this law is not made for thee, but for all others.
- 14 Come near then, and touch the sceptre.
- 15 And as she held her peace, he took the golden sceptre, and laid it upon her neck, and kissed her, and said: Why dost thou not speak to me?
- 16 She answered: I saw thee, my lord, as an angel of God, and my heart was troubled for fear of thy majesty.
- 17 For thou, my lord, art very admirable, and thy face is full of graces.
- 18 And while she was speaking, she fell down again, and was almost in a swoon.
- 19 But the king was troubled, and all his servants comforted her.

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.
