WORD Research this...Hebrews 7
- 1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
- 2 to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace;
- 3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.
- 4 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the best plunder.
- 5 They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,
- 6 but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
- 7 But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
- 8 Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
- 9 We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
- 10 for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.
- 11 Now if there were perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
- 12 For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.
- 13 For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.
- 14 For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
- 15 This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
- 16 who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life:
- 17 for it is testified, “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.”
- 18 For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
- 19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
- 20 Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath
- 21 (for they indeed have been made priests without an oath), but he with an oath by him that says of him, “The Lord swore and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.’”
- 22 By so much, Jesus has become the collateral of a better covenant.
- 23 Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.
- 24 But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable.
- 25 Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.
- 26 For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
- 27 who doesn’t need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.
- 28 For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath which came after the law appoints a Son forever who has been perfected.

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.
