WORD Research this...Job 38
- 1 Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind,
- 2 “Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
- 3 Brace yourself like a man, for I will question you, then you answer me!
- 4 “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding.
- 5 Who determined its measures, if you know? Or who stretched the line on it?
- 6 Whereupon were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone,
- 7 when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
- 8 “Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke out of the womb,
- 9 when I made clouds its garment, and wrapped it in thick darkness,
- 10 marked out for it my bound, set bars and doors,
- 11 and said, ‘Here you may come, but no further. Here your proud waves shall be stayed?’
- 12 “Have you commanded the morning in your days, and caused the dawn to know its place;
- 13 that it might take hold of the ends of the earth, and shake the wicked out of it?
- 14 It is changed as clay under the seal, and presented as a garment.
- 15 From the wicked, their light is withheld. The high arm is broken.
- 16 “Have you entered into the springs of the sea? Or have you walked in the recesses of the deep?
- 17 Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Or have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?
- 18 Have you comprehended the earth in its breadth? Declare, if you know it all.
- 19 “What is the way to the dwelling of light? As for darkness, where is its place,
- 20 that you should take it to its bound, that you should discern the paths to its house?
- 21 Surely you know, for you were born then, and the number of your days is great!
- 22 Have you entered the treasuries of the snow, or have you seen the treasures of the hail,
- 23 which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
- 24 By what way is the lightning distributed, or the east wind scattered on the earth?
- 25 Who has cut a channel for the flood water, or the path for the thunderstorm;
- 26 To cause it to rain on a land where no man is; on the wilderness, in which there is no man;
- 27 to satisfy the waste and desolate ground, to cause the tender grass to grow?
- 28 Does the rain have a father? Or who fathers the drops of dew?
- 29 Out of whose womb came the ice? The gray frost of the sky, who has given birth to it?
- 30 The waters become hard like stone, when the surface of the deep is frozen.
- 31 “Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, or loosen the cords of Orion?
- 32 Can you lead the constellations out in their season? Or can you guide the Bear with her cubs?
- 33 Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you establish its dominion over the earth?
- 34 “Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, That abundance of waters may cover you?
- 35 Can you send out lightnings, that they may go? Do they report to you, ‘Here we are?’
- 36 Who has put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who has given understanding to the mind?
- 37 Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of the sky,
- 38 when the dust runs into a mass, and the clods of earth stick together?
- 39 “Can you hunt the prey for the lioness, or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
- 40 when they crouch in their dens, and lie in wait in the thicket?
- 41 Who provides for the raven his prey, when his young ones cry to God, and wander for lack of food?

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.
