The
Gileadites captured the
fords of the
Jordan opposite
Ephraim. And it
happened when any of the
fugitives of
Ephraim said, "Let me
cross over," the
men of
Gilead would
say to him, "Are you an
Ephraimite?" If he
said,
"No,"

then they would
say to him,
"Say now,
'Shibboleth.' " But he
said,
"Sibboleth," for he
could not
pronounce it
correctly. Then they
seized him and
slew him at the
fords of the
Jordan. Thus there
fell at that
time 42,000 * * of
Ephraim.
