WORD Research this...Tobit 2
- 1 But after this, when there was a festival of the Lord, and a good dinner was prepared in Tobias's house,
- 2 He said to his son: Go, and bring some of our tribe that fear God, to feast with us.
- 3 And when he had gone, returning he told him, that one of the children of Israel lay slain in the street. And he forthwith leaped up from his place at the table, and left his dinner, and came fasting to the body.
- 4 And taking it up carried it privately to his house, that after the sun was down, he might bury him cautiously.
- 5 And when he had hid the body, he ate bread with mourning and fear,
- 6 Remembering the word which the Lord spoke by Amos the prophet: Your festival days shall be turned into lamentation and mourning.
- 7 So when the sun was down, he went and buried him.
- 8 Now all his neighbours blamed him, saying: once already commandment was given for thee to be slain because of this matter, and thou didst scarce escape the sentence of death, and dost thou again bury the dead?
- 9 But Tobias fearing God more than the king, carried off the bodies of them that were slain, and hid them in his house, and at midnight buried them.
- 10 Now it happened one day that being wearied with burying, he came to his house, and cast himself down by the wall and slept,
- 11 And as he was sleeping, hot dung out of a swallow's nest fell upon his eyes, and he was made blind.
- 12 Now this trial the Lord therefore permitted to happen to him, that an example might be given to posterity of his patience, as also of holy Job.
- 13 For whereas he had always feared God from his infancy, and kept his commandments, he repined not against God because the evil of blindness had befallen him,
- 14 But continued immoveable in the fear of God, giving thanks to God all the days of his life.
- 15 For as the kings insulted over holy Job: so his relations and kinsmen mocked at his life, saying:
- 16 Where is thy hope, for which thou gavest alms, and buriedst the dead?
- 17 But Tobias rebuked them, saying: Speak not so:
- 18 For we are the children of saints, and look for that life which God will give to those that never change their faith from him.
- 19 Now Anna his wife went daily to weaving work, and she brought home what she could get for their living by the labour of her hands.
- 20 Whereby it came to pass, that she received a young kid, and brought it home:
- 21 And when her husband heard it bleating, he said: Take heed, lest perhaps it be stolen: restore ye it to its owners, for it is not lawful for us either to eat or to touch any thing that cometh by theft.
- 22 At these words his wife being angry answered: It is evident the hope is come to nothing, and thy alms now appear.
- 23 And with these and other such like words, she upbraided him.

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.
