WORD Research this...Exodus 18
- 1 And Jethro priest of Midian, father-in-law of Moses, heareth all that God hath done for Moses, and for Israel his people, that Jehovah hath brought out Israel from Egypt,
- 2 and Jethro, father-in-law of Moses, taketh Zipporah, wife of Moses, besides her parents,
-
3 and her two sons, of whom the name of the one
is Gershom, for he said, `a sojourner I have been in a strange land:' -
4 and the name of the other
is Eliezer, for, `the God of my fatheris for my help, and doth deliver me from the sword of Pharaoh.' - 5 And Jethro, father-in-law of Moses, cometh, and his sons, and his wife, unto Moses, unto the wilderness where he is encamping--the mount of God;
- 6 and he saith unto Moses, `I, thy father-in-law, Jethro, am coming unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.'
- 7 And Moses goeth out to meet his father-in-law, and boweth himself, and kisseth him, and they ask one at another of welfare, and come into the tent;
- 8 and Moses recounteth to his father-in-law all that Jehovah hath done to Pharaoh, and to the Egyptians, on account of Israel, all the travail which hath found them in the way, and Jehovah doth deliver them.
- 9 And Jethro rejoiceth for all the good which Jehovah hath done to Israel, whom He hath delivered from the hand of the Egyptians;
-
10 and Jethro saith, `Blessed
is Jehovah, who hath delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of Pharaoh--who hath delivered this people from under the hand of the Egyptians; -
11 now I have known that Jehovah
is greater than all the gods, for in the thing they have acted proudly-- - 12 And Jethro, father-in-law of Moses, taketh a burnt-offering and sacrifices for God; and Aaron cometh in, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with the father-in-law of Moses, before God.
- 13 And it cometh to pass on the morrow, that Moses sitteth to judge the people, and the people stand before Moses, from the morning unto the evening;
-
14 and the father-in-law of Moses seeth all that he is doing to the people, and saith, `What
is this thing which thou art doing to the people? wherefore art thou sitting by thyself, and all the people standing by thee from morning till evening?' - 15 And Moses saith to his father-in-law, `Because the people come unto me to seek God;
- 16 when they have a matter, it hath come unto me, and I have judged between a man and his neighbour, and made known the statutes of God, and His laws.'
-
17 And the father-in-law of Moses saith unto him, `The thing which thou art doing
is not good; -
18 thou dost surely wear away, both thou, and this people which
is with thee, for the thing is too heavy for thee, thou art not able to do it by thyself. - 19 `Now, hearken to my voice, I counsel thee, and God is with thee: be thou for the people over-against God, and thou hast brought in the things unto God;
-
20 and thou hast warned them
concerning the statutes and the laws, and hast made known to them the way in which they go, and the work which they do. -
21 `And thou--thou dost provide out of all the people men of ability, fearing God, men of truth, hating dishonest gain, and hast placed
these over them, heads of thousands, heads of hundreds, heads of fifties, and heads of tens, - 22 and they have judged the people at all times; and it hath come to pass, every great matter they bring in unto thee, and every small matter they judge themselves; and lighten it from off thyself, and they have borne with thee.
- 23 If thou dost this thing, and God hath commanded thee, then thou hast been able to stand, and all this people also goeth in unto its place in peace.'
- 24 And Moses hearkeneth to the voice of his father-in-law, and doth all that he said,
- 25 and Moses chooseth men of ability out of all Israel, and maketh them chiefs over the people, heads of thousands, heads of hundreds, heads of fifties, and heads of tens,
- 26 and they have judged the people at all times; the hard matter they bring in unto Moses, and every small matter they judge themselves.
- 27 And Moses sendeth his father-in-law away, and he goeth away unto his own land.

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.
