[1] The men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed northward; and they said to Jephthah, “Why did you pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didn’t call us to go with you? We will burn your house around you with fire!” [2] Jephthah said to them, “I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, you didn’t save me out of their hand. [3] When I saw that you didn’t save me, I put my life in my hand, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and Yahweh delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me today, to fight against me?” [4] Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim. The men of Gilead struck Ephraim, because they said, “You are fugitives of Ephraim, you Gileadites, in the middle of Ephraim, and in the middle of Manasseh.” [5] The Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. Whenever a fugitive of Ephraim said, “Let me go over,” the men of Gilead said to him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he said, “No;” [6] 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. [7] Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in the cities of Gilead. [8] After him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel. [9] He had thirty sons. He sent his thirty daughters outside his clan, and he brought in thirty daughters from outside his clan for his sons. He judged Israel seven years. [10] Ibzan died, and was buried at Bethlehem. [11] After him, Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years. [12] Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun. [13] After him, Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel. [14] He had forty sons and thirty sons’ sons who rode on seventy donkey colts. He judged Israel eight years. [15] Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.

Shibboleth

[1] And the men H376 of Ephraim H669 gathered§ themselves together, H6817 and went H5674 northward, H6828 and said H559 unto Jephthah, H3316 Wherefore H4069 passedst thou over H5674 to fight H3898 against the children H1121 of Ammon, H5983 and didst not H3808 call H7121 us to go H3212 with thee? H5973 we will burn H8313 thine house H1004 upon thee H5921 with fire. H784 [2] And Jephthah H3316 said H559 unto them, H413 I H589 and my people H5971 were H1961 at great H3966 strife H376 H7379 with the children H1121 of Ammon; H5983 and when I called H2199 you, H853 ye delivered H3467 me H853 not H3808 out of their hands. H3027 [3] And when I saw H7200 that H3588 ye H369 delivered H3467 me not, H369 I put H7760 my life H5315 in my hands, H3709 and passed over H5674 against H413 the children H1121 of Ammon, H5983 and the Lord H3068 delivered them H5414 into my hand: H3027 wherefore then H4100 are ye come up H5927 unto me H413 this H2088 day, H3117 to fight H3898 against me? [4] Then Jephthah H3316 gathered together H6908 H853 all H3605 the men H582 of Gilead, H1568 and fought H3898 with H854 Ephraim: H669 and the men H582 of Gilead H1568 smote H5221 H853 Ephraim, H669 because H3588 they said, H559 Ye H859 Gileadites H1568 are fugitives H6412 of Ephraim H669 among H8432 the Ephraimites, H669 and among H8432 the Manassites. H4519 [5] And the Gileadites H1568 took H3920 H853 the passages H4569 of Jordan H3383 before the Ephraimites: H669 and it was H1961 so, that when H3588 those Ephraimites H669 which were escaped H6412 said, H559 Let me go over; H5674 that the men H582 of Gilead H1568 said H559 unto him, Art thou H859 an Ephraimite? H673 If he said, H559 Nay; H3808 [6] then said they H559 unto him, Say H559 now H4994 Shibboleth: H7641 and he said H559 Sibboleth: H5451 for he could H3559 not H3808 frame H3559 to pronounce H1696 it right. H3651 Then they took H270 him, H853 and slew him H7819 at H413 the passages H4569 of Jordan: H3383 and there fell H5307 at that H1931 time H6256 of the Ephraimites H669 forty H705 and two H8147 thousand. H505 [7] And Jephthah H3316 judged H8199 H853 Israel H3478 six H8337 years. H8141 Then died H4191 Jephthah H3316 the Gileadite, H1569 and was buried H6912 in one of the cities H5892 of Gilead. H1568
