*
Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead ,
and fought with Ephraim :
and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim ,
because they said ,
Ye Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites ,
and among the Manassites .
*
And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites :
and it was so ,
that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said ,
Let me go over ;
that the men of Gilead said unto him ,
Art thou an Ephraimite ?
If he said ,
Nay ;
*
Then said they unto him ,
Say now Shibboleth :
and he said Sibboleth :
for he could not frame to pronounce it right .
Then they took him ,
and slew him at the passages of Jordan :
and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand .
