WORD Research this...Sirach 44
- 1 Let us now praise men of renown and our fathers in their generation.
- 2 The Lord hath wrought great glory through his magnificence from the beginning.
- 3 Such as have borne rule in their dominions, men of great power, and endued with their wisdom, shewing forth in the prophets the dignity of prophets,
- 4 And ruling over the present people, and by the strength of wisdom instructing the people in most holy words.
- 5 Such as by their skill sought out musical tunes, and published canticles of the scriptures.
- 6 Rich men in virtue, studying beautifulness: living at peace in their houses.
- 7 All these have gained glory in their generations, and were praised in their days.
- 8 They that were born of them have left a name behind them, that their praises might be related:
- 9 And there are some, of whom there is no memorial: who are perished, as if they had never been: and are become as if they had never been born, and their children with them.
- 10 But these were men of mercy, whose godly deeds have not failed:
- 11 Good things continue with their seed,
- 12 Their posterity are a holy inheritance, and their seed hath stood in the covenants.
- 13 And their children for their sakes remain for ever: their seed and their glory shall not be forsaken.
- 14 Their bodies are buried in peace, and their name liveth unto generation and generation.
- 15 Let the people shew forth their wisdom, and the church declare their praise.
- 16 Henoch pleased God, and was translated into paradise, that he may give repentance to the nations.
- 17 Noe was found perfect, just, and in the time of wrath he was made a reconciliation.
- 18 Therefore was there a remnant left to the earth, when the flood came.
- 19 The covenants of the world were made with him, that all flesh should no more be destroyed with the flood.
- 20 Abraham was the great father of a multitude of nations, and there was not found the like to him in glory, who kept the law of the most High, and was in covenant with him.
- 21 In his flesh he established the covenant, and in temptation he was found faithful.
- 22 Therefore by an oath he gave him glory in his posterity, that he should increase as the dust of the earth,
- 23 And that he would exalt his seed as the stars, and they should inherit from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.
- 24 And he did in like manner with Isaac for the sake of Abraham his father.
- 25 The Lord gave him the blessing of all nations, and confirmed his covenant upon the head of Jacob.
- 26 He acknowledged him in his blessings, and gave him an inheritance, and divided him his portion in twelve tribes.
- 27 And he preserved for him men of mercy, that found grace in the eyes of all flesh.

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.
