    Genesis 11
    • 1   And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
    • 2   And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
    • 3   And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
    • 4   And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
    • 5   And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
    • 6   And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
    • 7   Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
    • 8   So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
    • 9   Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
    • 10   These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
    • 11   And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
    • 12   And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:
    • 13   And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
    • 14   And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
    • 15   And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
    • 16   And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
    • 17   And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
    • 18   And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
    • 19   And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
    • 20   And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
    • 21   And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
    • 22   And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
    • 23   And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
    • 24   And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
    • 25   And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
    • 26   And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
    • 27   Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
    • 28   And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
    • 29   And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
    • 30   But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
    • 31   And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
    • 32   And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.

  • King James Version (kjv - 3.1)

    2023-07-19

    English (en)

    This is the King James Version of the Holy Bible (also known as the Authorized Version) with embedded Strong's Numbers. The rights to the base text are held by the Crown of England.
    The Strong's numbers in the OT were obtained from The Bible Foundation: http://www.bf.org. The NT Strong's data was obtained from The KJV2003 Project at CrossWire: http://www.crosswire.org. These mechanisms provide a useful means for looking up the exact original language word in a lexicon that is keyed to Strong's numbers.

    Special thanks to the volunteers at Bible Foundation for keying the Hebrew/English data and of Project KJV2003 for working toward the completion of synchronizing the English phrases to the Stephanas Textus Receptus, and to Dr. Maurice Robinson for providing the base Greek text with Strong's and Morphology.
    We are also appreciative of formatting markup that was provided by Michael Paul Johnson at http://www.ebible.org. Their time and generosity to contribute such for the free use of the Body of Christ is a great blessing and this derivitive work could not have been possible without these efforts of so many individuals.
    Version 3.1 incorporates a more recent set of TR data from Dr. Maurice Robinson than was used in all the earlier versions. The TR data was obtained in 2016 from the Greek New Testament sources website
    https://sites.google.com/a/wmail.fi/greeknt/home/greeknt
    This was integrated into the OSIS source files of an intermediate version 2.9a hosted at
    https://www.crosswire.org/~dmsmith/kjv2011/kjv2.9a/
    It is in this spirit that we in turn offer the KJV2003 Project text freely for any purpose.
    Any copyright that might be obtained for this effort is held by CrossWire Bible Society © 2003-2023 and CrossWire Bible Society hereby grants a general public license to use this text for any purpose.

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.
