Before you add a new religious text, be sure to check that it’s not already on the site. Even if a search doesn’t turn it up, we highly recommend you run it by one of our project leaders, as they can help with formatting and bulk transcribing of long texts. Once you’ve got the green light, follow the steps below.
- Head over to poetry.rapgenius.com and click on the ADD NEW TEXT button. You’ll be taken to this page:
In the Primary Artist box, add the collective title of the text if it includes numerous books from different authors; otherwise include the individual author. For example: Holy Bible, also please specify the translation, e.g Holy Bible (KJV)
Title should be the name of the book and the chapter; the ‘lyrics’ should include all the text in that specific chapter.
If the text is in verses, be sure to leave one space in between each verse. After that you’re good to go. Click the Submit button.

Here at Faith Genius, one of our most important rules is avoiding literalism. Try giving your annotations historical depth, as opposed to reiterating what is already being said. Let the actual text do the preaching, your job is to add exciting new information – explaining symbolism, connections to other spiritual concepts, and going more in-depth into some of the historical events mentioned in certain passages. Write objectively, regardless of your personal thoughts on the validity and authenticity of the text. Remember that we want to be inclusive and accessible to people from all faiths.

Since an actuator has to be connected to a drive shaft, they can be difficult to place at awkward angles, as they require a universal joint. A pneumatic cylinder on the other hand, sources it’s power directly from a compressor via means of a 4mm tube, and these come in all types of lengths. So, as long as your hose is long enough, you can essentially power a pneumatic from anywhere in your creation, without the need for a compound gear train or universal joint.
Exodus 22:3 If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft. Holy Bible (KJV) – Exodus 22

These passages deal with the Biblical concept of reciprocative violence in a situation of larceny גניבה, and is often mistranslated due to the metaphorical employment of the phrase ‘If the sun be risen upon him’, rather than the literal intention some have mistaken it for.
The concept of defence is deemed justifiable while the criminal is being seen committing larceny – hence ‘If a thief be found breaking up’ and he dies as a consequence of the owner’s defence, the owner’s act is classified as manslaughter, rather than murder.
22:3, ‘If the sun be risen upon him’, under the notion that the theft committed the act the previous night, in other words, after larceny was committed and the thief has escaped, the owner shall not seek out vengeance because he is no longer under threat. Additionally, the thief should be liable to make a restitution to the victim of the robbery, and the victim will be compensated through that method. Once again we see the principle of lex talionis being applied here, the victim should seek out compensation in a lawful manner, as opposed to violence.
