Judges 12:6 (100.00%)

then they said to him, “Now say ‘Shibboleth;’ ” and he said “Sibboleth”; for he couldn’t manage to pronounce it correctly, then they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. At that time, forty-two thousand of Ephraim fell.

Then said H559 (8799) they unto him, Say H559 (8798) now Shibboleth H7641: and he said H559 (8799) Sibboleth H5451: for he could not frame H3559 to pronounce H1696 (8763) [it] right H3559 (8686). Then they took H270 (8799) him, and slew H7819 (8799) him at the passages H4569 of Jordan H3383: and there fell H5307 (8799) at that time H6256 of the Ephraimites H669 forty H705 and two H8147 thousand H505.

that they say to him, ‘Say, I pray thee, Shibboleth;’ and he saith, ‘Sibboleth,’ and is not prepared to speak right-and they seize him, and slaughter him at the passages of the Jordan, and there fall at that time, of Ephraim, forty and two chiefs.
