    2 Esdras 13
    •   And it came to pass after seven days, I dreamed a dream by night:
    •   And, lo, there arose a wind from the sea, that it moved all the waves thereof.
    •   And I beheld, and, lo, that man waxed strong with the thousands of heaven: and when he turned his countenance to look, all the things trembled that were seen under him.
    •   And whensoever the voice went out of his mouth, all they burned that heard his voice, like as the earth faileth when it feeleth the fire.
    •   And after this I beheld, and, lo, there was gathered together a multitude of men, out of number, from the four winds of the heaven, to subdue the man that came out of the sea
    •   But I beheld, and, lo, he had graved himself a great mountain, and flew up upon it.
    •   But I would have seen the region or place whereout the hill was graven, and I could not.
    •   And after this I beheld, and, lo, all they which were gathered together to subdue him were sore afraid, and yet durst fight.
    •   And, lo, as he saw the violence of the multitude that came, he neither lifted up his hand, nor held sword, nor any instrument of war:
    • 10   But only I saw that he sent out of his mouth as it had been a blast of fire, and out of his lips a flaming breath, and out of his tongue he cast out sparks and tempests.
    • 11   And they were all mixed together; the blast of fire, the flaming breath, and the great tempest; and fell with violence upon the multitude which was prepared to fight, and burned them up every one, so that upon a sudden of an innumerable multitude nothing was to be perceived, but only dust and smell of smoke: when I saw this I was afraid.
    • 12   Afterward saw I the same man come down from the mountain, and call unto him another peaceable Multitude.
    • 13   And there came much people unto him, whereof some were glad, some were sorry, and some of them were bound, and other some brought of them that were offered: then was I sick through great fear, and I awaked, and said,
    • 14   Thou hast shewed thy servant these wonders from the beginning, and hast counted me worthy that thou shouldest receive my prayer:
    • 15   Shew me now yet the interpretation of this dream.
    • 16   For as I conceive in mine understanding, woe unto them that shall be left in those days and much more woe unto them that are not left behind!
    • 17   For they that were not left were in heaviness.
    • 18   Now understand I the things that are laid up in the latter days, which shall happen unto them, and to those that are left behind.
    • 19   Therefore are they come into great perils and many necessities, like as these dreams declare.
    • 20   Yet is it easier for him that is in danger to come into these things, than to pass away as a cloud out of the world, and not to see the things that happen in the last days. And he answered unto me, and said,
    • 21   The interpretation of the vision shall I shew thee, and I will open unto thee the thing that thou hast required.
    • 22   Whereas thou hast spoken of them that are left behind, this is the interpretation:
    • 23   He that shall endure the peril in that time hath kept himself: they that be fallen into danger are such as have works, and faith toward the Almighty.
    • 24   Know this therefore, that they which be left behind are more blessed than they that be dead.
    • 25   This is the meaning of the vision: Whereas thou sawest a man coming up from the midst of the sea:
    • 26   The same is he whom God the Highest hath kept a great season, which by his own self shall deliver his creature: and he shall order them that are left behind.
    • 27   And whereas thou sawest, that out of his mouth there came as a blast of wind, and fire, and storm;
    • 28   And that he held neither sword, nor any instrument of war, but that the rushing in of him destroyed the whole multitude that came to subdue him; this is the interpretation:
    • 29   Behold, the days come, when the most High will begin to deliver them that are upon the earth.
    • 30   And he shall come to the astonishment of them that dwell on the earth.
    • 31   And one shall undertake to fight against another, one city against another, one place against another, one people against another, and one realm against another.
    • 32   And the time shall be when these things shall come to pass, and the signs shall happen which I shewed thee before, and then shall my Son be declared, whom thou sawest as a man ascending.
    • 33   And when all the people hear his voice, every man shall in their own land leave the battle they have one against another.
    • 34   And an innumerable multitude shall be gathered together, as thou sawest them, willing to come, and to overcome him by fighting.
    • 35   But he shall stand upon the top of the mount Sion.
    • 36   And Sion shall come, and shall be shewed to all men, being prepared and builded, like as thou sawest the hill graven without hands.
    • 37   And this my Son shall rebuke the wicked inventions of those nations, which for their wicked life are fallen into the tempest;
    • 38   And shall lay before them their evil thoughts, and the torments wherewith they shall begin to be tormented, which are like unto a flame: and he shall destroy them without labour by the law which is like unto me.
    • 39   And whereas thou sawest that he gathered another peaceable multitude unto him;
    • 40   Those are the ten tribes, which were carried away prisoners out of their own land in the time of Osea the king, whom Salmanasar the king of Assyria led away captive, and he carried them over the waters, and so came they into another land.
    • 41   But they took this counsel among themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go forth into a further country, where never mankind dwelt,
    • 42   That they might there keep their statutes, which they never kept in their own land.
    • 43   And they entered into Euphrates by the narrow places of the river.
    • 44   For the most High then shewed signs for them, and held still the flood, till they were passed over.
    • 45   For through that country there was a great way to go, namely, of a year and a half: and the same region is called Arsareth.
    • 46   Then dwelt they there until the latter time; and now when they shall begin to come,
    • 47   The Highest shall stay the springs of the stream again, that they may go through: therefore sawest thou the multitude with peace.
    • 48   But those that be left behind of thy people are they that are found within my borders.
    • 49   Now when he destroyeth the multitude of the nations that are gathered together, he shall defend his people that remain.
    • 50   And then shall he shew them great wonders.
    • 51   Then said I, O Lord that bearest rule, shew me this: Wherefore have I seen the man coming up from the midst of the sea?
    • 52   And he said unto me, Like as thou canst neither seek out nor know the things that are in the deep of the sea: even so can no man upon earth see my Son, or those that be with him, but in the day time.
    • 53   This is the interpretation of the dream which thou sawest, and whereby thou only art here lightened.
    • 54   For thou hast forsaken thine own way, and applied thy diligence unto my law, and sought it.
    • 55   Thy life hast thou ordered in wisdom, and hast called understanding thy mother.
    • 56   And therefore have I shewed thee the treasures of the Highest: after other three days I will speak other things unto thee, and declare unto thee mighty and wondrous things.
    • 57   Then went I forth into the field, giving praise and thanks greatly unto the most High because of his wonders which he did in time;
    • 58   And because he governeth the same, and such things as fall in their seasons: and there I sat three days.

  • 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.
