WORD Research this...Genesis 18
- 1 Yahweh appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.
- 2 He lifted up his eyes and looked, and saw that three men stood opposite him. When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,
- 3 and said, “My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please don’t go away from your servant.
- 4 Now let a little water be fetched, wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
- 5 I will get a morsel of bread so you can refresh your heart. After that you may go your way, now that you have come to your servant.” They said, “Very well, do as you have said.”
- 6 Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, “Quickly prepare three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes.”
- 7 Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant. He hurried to dress it.
- 8 He took butter, milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them. He stood by them under the tree, and they ate.
- 9 They asked him, “Where is Sarah, your wife?” He said, “See, in the tent.”
- 10 He said, “I will certainly return to you when the season comes round. Behold, Sarah your wife will have a son.” Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.
- 11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.
- 12 Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?”
- 13 Yahweh said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Will I really bear a child, yet I am old?’
- 14 Is anything too hard for Yahweh? At the set time I will return to you, when the season comes round, and Sarah will have a son.”
- 15 Then Sarah denied, saying, “I didn’t laugh,” for she was afraid. He said, “No, but you did laugh.”
- 16 The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.
- 17 Yahweh said, “Will I hide from Abraham what I do,
- 18 since Abraham has surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him?
- 19 For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Yahweh may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him.”
- 20 Yahweh said, “Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous,
- 21 I will go down now, and see whether their deeds are as bad as the reports which have come to me. If not, I will know.”
- 22 The men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham stood yet before Yahweh.
- 23 Abraham drew near, and said, “Will you consume the righteous with the wicked?
- 24 What if there are fifty righteous within the city? Will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it?
- 25 Be it far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be like the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn’t the Judge of all the earth do right?”
- 26 Yahweh said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake.”
- 27 Abraham answered, “See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, who am but dust and ashes.
- 28 What if there will lack five of the fifty righteous? Will you destroy all the city for lack of five?” He said, “I will not destroy it, if I find forty-five there.”
- 29 He spoke to him yet again, and said, “What if there are forty found there?” He said, “I will not do it for the forty’s sake.”
- 30 He said, “Oh don’t let the Lord be angry, and I will speak. What if there are thirty found there?” He said, “I will not do it, if I find thirty there.”
- 31 He said, “See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord. What if there are twenty found there?” He said, “I will not destroy it for the twenty’s sake.”
- 32 He said, “Oh don’t let the Lord be angry, and I will speak just once more. What if ten are found there?” He said, “I will not destroy it for the ten’s sake.”
- 33 Yahweh went his way, as soon as he had finished communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.

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.
