WORD Research this...Genesis 34
- 1 Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
- 2 Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her.
- 3 His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.
- 4 Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, “Get me this young lady as a wife.”
- 5 Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob held his peace until they came.
- 6 Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to talk with him.
- 7 The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. The men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had done folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter; a thing ought not to be done.
- 8 Hamor talked with them, saying, “The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
- 9 Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
- 10 You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it.”
- 11 Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you will tell me I will give.
- 12 Ask me a great amount for a dowry, and I will give whatever you ask of me, but give me the young lady as a wife.”
- 13 The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
- 14 and said to them, “We can’t do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us.
- 15 Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;
- 16 then will we give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
- 17 But if you will not listen to us, to be circumcised, then we will take our sister, and we will be gone.”
- 18 Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.
- 19 The young man didn’t wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter, and he was honored above all the house of his father.
- 20 Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying,
- 21 “These men are peaceful with us. Therefore let them live in the land and trade in it. For behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
- 22 Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people, if every male among us is circumcised, as they are circumcised.
- 23 Won’t their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let us give our consent to them, and they will dwell with us.”
- 24 All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor, and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
- 25 On the third day, when they were sore, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword, came upon the unsuspecting city, and killed all the males.
- 26 They killed Hamor and Shechem, his son, with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.
- 27 Jacob’s sons came on the dead, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
- 28 They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field,
- 29 and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the house.
- 30 Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and strike me, and I will be destroyed, I and my house.”
- 31 They said, “Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?”

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.
