Judges 12:5-7

Revised Geneva Translation

⁵ Also, the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites. And when an Ephraimite who had escaped said, “Let me pass,” then the men of Gilead said to him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he said, “No,”

⁶ then they said to him, “Say ‘Shibboleth’.” And if he said ‘Sibboleth’ (for he could not pronounce it) then they took him and killed him at the passages of Jordan. And forty-two thousand of the Ephraimites fell at that time.

⁷ And Jephthah judged Israel for six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
