    1 Esdras 9
    •   Then Esdras rising from the court of the temple went to the chamber of Joanan the son of Eliasib,
    •   And remained there, and did eat no meat nor drink water, mourning for the great iniquities of the multitude.
    •   And there was a proclamation in all Jewry and Jerusalem to all them that were of the captivity, that they should be gathered together at Jerusalem:
    •   And that whosoever met not there within two or three days according as the elders that bare rule appointed, their cattle should be seized to the use of the temple, and himself cast out from them that were of the captivity.
    •   And in three days were all they of the tribe of Judah and Benjamin gathered together at Jerusalem the twentieth day of the ninth month.
    •   And all the multitude sat trembling in the broad court of the temple because of the present foul weather.
    •   So Esdras arose up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed the law in marrying strange wives, thereby to increase the sins of Israel.
    •   And now by confessing give glory unto the Lord God of our fathers,
    •   And do his will, and separate yourselves from the heathen of the land, and from the strange women.
    • 10   Then cried the whole multitude, and said with a loud voice, Like as thou hast spoken, so will we do.
    • 11   But forasmuch as the people are many, and it is foul weather, so that we cannot stand without, and this is not a work of a day or two, seeing our sin in these things is spread far:
    • 12   Therefore let the rulers of the multitude stay, and let all them of our habitations that have strange wives come at the time appointed,
    • 13   And with them the rulers and judges of every place, till we turn away the wrath of the Lord from us for this matter.
    • 14   Then Jonathan the son of Azael and Ezechias the son of Theocanus accordingly took this matter upon them: and Mosollam and Levis and Sabbatheus helped them.
    • 15   And they that were of the captivity did according to all these things.
    • 16   And Esdras the priest chose unto him the principal men of their families, all by name: and in the first day of the tenth month they sat together to examine the matter.
    • 17   So their cause that held strange wives was brought to an end in the first day of the first month.
    • 18   And of the priests that were come together, and had strange wives, there were found:
    • 19   Of the sons of Jesus the son of Josedec, and his brethren; Matthelas and Eleazar, and Joribus and Joadanus.
    • 20   And they gave their hands to put away their wives and to offer rams to make reconcilement for their errors.
    • 21   And of the sons of Emmer; Ananias, and Zabdeus, and Eanes, and Sameius, and Hiereel, and Azarias.
    • 22   And of the sons of Phaisur; Elionas, Massias Israel, and Nathanael, and Ocidelus and Talsas.
    • 23   And of the Levites; Jozabad, and Semis, and Colius, who was called Calitas, and Patheus, and Judas, and Jonas.
    • 24   Of the holy singers; Eleazurus, Bacchurus.
    • 25   Of the porters; Sallumus, and Tolbanes.
    • 26   Of them of Israel, of the sons of Phoros; Hiermas, and Eddias, and Melchias, and Maelus, and Eleazar, and Asibias, and Baanias.
    • 27   Of the sons of Ela; Matthanias, Zacharias, and Hierielus, and Hieremoth, and Aedias.
    • 28   And of the sons of Zamoth; Eliadas, Elisimus, Othonias, Jarimoth, and Sabatus, and Sardeus.
    • 29   Of the sons of Babai; Johannes, and Ananias and Josabad, and Amatheis.
    • 30   Of the sons of Mani; Olamus, Mamuchus, Jedeus, Jasubus, Jasael, and Hieremoth.
    • 31   And of the sons of Addi; Naathus, and Moosias, Lacunus, and Naidus, and Mathanias, and Sesthel, Balnuus, and Manasseas.
    • 32   And of the sons of Annas; Elionas and Aseas, and Melchias, and Sabbeus, and Simon Chosameus.
    • 33   And of the sons of Asom; Altaneus, and Matthias, and Baanaia, Eliphalet, and Manasses, and Semei.
    • 34   And of the sons of Maani; Jeremias, Momdis, Omaerus, Juel, Mabdai, and Pelias, and Anos, Carabasion, and Enasibus, and Mamnitanaimus, Eliasis, Bannus, Eliali, Samis, Selemias, Nathanias: and of the sons of Ozora; Sesis, Esril, Azaelus, Samatus, Zambis, Josephus.
    • 35   And of the sons of Ethma; Mazitias, Zabadaias, Edes, Juel, Banaias.
    • 36   All these had taken strange wives, and they put them away with their children.
    • 37   And the priests and Levites, and they that were of Israel, dwelt in Jerusalem, and in the country, in the first day of the seventh month: so the children of Israel were in their habitations.
    • 38   And the whole multitude came together with one accord into the broad place of the holy porch toward the east:
    • 39   And they spake unto Esdras the priest and reader, that he would bring the law of Moses, that was given of the Lord God of Israel.
    • 40   So Esdras the chief priest brought the law unto the whole multitude from man to woman, and to all the priests, to hear law in the first day of the seventh month.
    • 41   And he read in the broad court before the holy porch from morning unto midday, before both men and women; and the multitude gave heed unto the law.
    • 42   And Esdras the priest and reader of the law stood up upon a pulpit of wood, which was made for that purpose.
    • 43   And there stood up by him Mattathias, Sammus, Ananias, Azarias, Urias, Ezecias, Balasamus, upon the right hand:
    • 44   And upon his left hand stood Phaldaius, Misael, Melchias, Lothasubus, and Nabarias.
    • 45   Then took Esdras the book of the law before the multitude: for he sat honourably in the first place in the sight of them all.
    • 46   And when he opened the law, they stood all straight up. So Esdras blessed the Lord God most High, the God of hosts, Almighty.
    • 47   And all the people answered, Amen; and lifting up their hands they fell to the ground, and worshipped the Lord.
    • 48   Also Jesus, Anus, Sarabias, Adinus, Jacubus, Sabateas, Auteas, Maianeas, and Calitas, Asrias, and Joazabdus, and Ananias, Biatas, the Levites, taught the law of the Lord, making them withal to understand it.
    • 49   Then spake Attharates unto Esdras the chief priest. and reader, and to the Levites that taught the multitude, even to all, saying,
    • 50   This day is holy unto the Lord; (for they all wept when they heard the law:)
    • 51   Go then, and eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send part to them that have nothing;
    • 52   For this day is holy unto the Lord: and be not sorrowful; for the Lord will bring you to honour.
    • 53   So the Levites published all things to the people, saying, This day is holy to the Lord; be not sorrowful.
    • 54   Then went they their way, every one to eat and drink, and make merry, and to give part to them that had nothing, and to make great cheer;
    • 55   Because they understood the words wherein they were instructed, and for the which they had been assembled.

  • King James Version (1769) with Strongs Numbers and Morphology and CatchWords, including Apocrypha (without glosses) (kjva - 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.
