Genesis 15
- 1 After these things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Have no fear, Abram: I will keep you safe, and great will be your reward.
- 2 And Abram said, What will you give me? for I have no child and this Eliezer of Damascus will have all my wealth after me.
- 3 And Abram said, You have given me no child, and a servant in my house will get the heritage.
- 4 Then said the Lord, This man will not get the heritage, but a son of your body will have your property after you.
- 5 And he took him out into the open air, and said to him, Let your eyes be lifted to heaven, and see if the stars may be numbered; even so will your seed be.
- 6 And he had faith in the Lord, and it was put to his account as righteousness.
- 7 And he said to him, I am the Lord, who took you from Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land for your heritage.
- 8 And he said, O Lord God, how may I be certain that it will be mine?
- 9 And he said, Take a young cow of three years old, and a she-goat of three years old, and a sheep of three years old, and a dove and a young pigeon.
- 10 All these he took, cutting them in two and putting one half opposite the other, but not cutting the birds in two.
- 11 And evil birds came down on the bodies, but Abram sent them away.
- 12 Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep came on Abram, and a dark cloud of fear.
- 13 And he said to Abram, Truly, your seed will be living in a land which is not theirs, as servants to a people who will be cruel to them for four hundred years;
- 14 But I will be the judge of that nation whose servants they are, and they will come out from among them with great wealth.
- 15 As for you, you will go to your fathers in peace; at the end of a long life you will be put in your last resting-place.
- 16 And in the fourth generation they will come back here; for at present the sin of the Amorite is not full.
- 17 Then when the sun went down and it was dark, he saw a smoking fire and a flaming light which went between the parts of the bodies.
- 18 In that day the Lord made an agreement with Abram, and said, To your seed have I given this land from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:
- 19 The Kenite, the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,
- 20 And the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,
- 21 And the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.

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.
