    Genesis 19
    • 1   The two angels came to Sodom at evening. Lot sat in the gate of Sodom. Lot saw them, and rose up to meet them. He bowed himself with his face to the earth,
    • 2   and he said, “See now, my lords, please turn aside into your servant’s house, stay all night, wash your feet, and you can rise up early, and go on your way.” They said, “No, but we will stay in the street all night.”
    • 3   He urged them greatly, and they came in with him, and entered into his house. He made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
    • 4   But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter.
    • 5   They called to Lot, and said to him, “Where are the men who came in to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may have sex with them.”
    • 6   Lot went out to them to the door, and shut the door after him.
    • 7   He said, “Please, my brothers, don’t act so wickedly.
    • 8   See now, I have two virgin daughters. Please let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them what seems good to you. Only don’t do anything to these men, because they have come under the shadow of my roof.”
    • 9   They said, “Stand back!” Then they said, “This one fellow came in to live as a foreigner, and he appoints himself a judge. Now will we deal worse with you, than with them!” They pressed hard on the man Lot, and drew near to break the door.
    • 10   But the men reached out their hand, and brought Lot into the house to them, and shut the door.
    • 11   They struck the men who were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
    • 12   The men said to Lot, “Do you have anybody else here? Sons-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whoever you have in the city, bring them out of the place:
    • 13   for we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before Yahweh that Yahweh has sent us to destroy it.”
    • 14   Lot went out, and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were pledged to marry his daughters, and said, “Get up! Get out of this place, for Yahweh will destroy the city.” But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be joking.
    • 15   When the morning came, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, “Get up! Take your wife, and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city.”
    • 16   But he lingered; and the men grabbed his hand, his wife’s hand, and his two daughters’ hands, Yahweh being merciful to him; and they took him out, and set him outside of the city.
    • 17   It came to pass, when they had taken them out, that he said, “Escape for your life! Don’t look behind you, and don’t stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be consumed!”
    • 18   Lot said to them, “Oh, not so, my lord.
    • 19   See now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your loving kindness, which you have shown to me in saving my life. I can’t escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me, and I die.
    • 20   See now, this city is near to flee to, and it is a little one. Oh let me escape there (isn’t it a little one?), and my soul will live.”
    • 21   He said to him, “Behold, I have granted your request concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken.
    • 22   Hurry, escape there, for I can’t do anything until you get there.” Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
    • 23   The sun had risen on the earth when Lot came to Zoar.
    • 24   Then Yahweh rained on Sodom and on Gomorrah sulfur and fire from Yahweh out of the sky.
    • 25   He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew on the ground.
    • 26   But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
    • 27   Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Yahweh.
    • 28   He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and looked, and saw that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.
    • 29   When God destroyed the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.
    • 30   Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Zoar. He lived in a cave with his two daughters.
    • 31   The firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us in the way of all the earth.
    • 32   Come, let’s make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s seed.”
    • 33   They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she arose.
    • 34   It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine again, tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s seed.”
    • 35   They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and lay with him. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she got up.
    • 36   Thus both of Lot’s daughters were with child by their father.
    • 37   The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.
    • 38   The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi. He is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.

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.
