    Genesis 44
    •   And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man’s money in his sack’s mouth.
    •   And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack’s mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
    •   As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
    •   And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
    •   Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
    •   And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
    •   And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
    •   Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks’ mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord’s house silver or gold?
    •   With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord’s bondmen.
    • 10   And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.
    • 11   Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
    • 12   And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.
    • 13   Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
    • 14   And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph’s house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
    • 15   And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
    • 16   And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord’s servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.
    • 17   And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.
    • 18   Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord’s ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.
    • 19   My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
    • 20   And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.
    • 21   And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
    • 22   And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
    • 23   And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
    • 24   And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
    • 25   And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
    • 26   And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man’s face, except our youngest brother be with us.
    • 27   And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:
    • 28   And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
    • 29   And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
    • 30   Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life;
    • 31   It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
    • 32   For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.
    • 33   Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
    • 34   For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.

  • 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.
