Judges 12:7 CPDV

⁵  And the Gileadites occupied the fords of the Jordan, along which Ephraim was to return. And when anyone from the number of Ephraim had arrived, fleeing, and had said, 'I beg that you permit me to pass,' the Gileadites would say to him, 'Could you be an Ephraimite?' And if he said, 'I am not,'

⁶  they would ask him, then say 'Shibboleth,' which is translated as 'ear of grain.' But he would answer 'Sibboleth,' not being able to express the word for an ear of grain in the same letters. And immediately apprehending him, they would cut his throat, at the same crossing point of the Jordan. And in that time of Ephraim, forty-two thousand fell.

⁷  And so Jephthah, the Gileadite, judged Israel for six years. And he died, and he was buried in his city in Gilead.

⁸  After him, Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.

⁹  He had thirty sons, and the same number of daughters, whom he sent away to be given to husbands. And he accepted wives for his sons of the same number, bringing them into his house. And he judged Israel for seven years.
