They would order him, "Pronounce the word 'Shibboleth' right now." If he said "Sibboleth," not being able to pronounce it correctly, they would seize him and slaughter him there at the fords of the Jordan River. At that time forty-two thousand of the Ephraimites were killed. Then they would grab him and kill him there at one of the Jordan River crossings. They would tell him to say "Shibboleth." But he would say "Sibboleth," because he could not pronounce it correctly. And there fell at that time of Ephraim two and forty thousand. Then presently they took him and killed him in the very passage of the Jordan. But he answered, Sibboleth, not being able to express an ear of corn by the same letter. They asked him: Say then, Scibboleth, which is interpreted, An ear of corn. Altogether, 42,000 men from Ephraim were killed in the battle and at the Jordan. The guards would then tell them to say "Shibboleth," because they knew that people of Ephraim could say "Sibboleth," but not "Shibboleth." If the man said "Sibboleth," the guards would grab him and kill him right there. Then they said to him, Say now Stachys and he did not rightly pronounce it so: and they took him, and slew him at the fords of Jordan and there fell at that time of Ephraim two and forty thousand. They were saying to him: “Say ‘shebla’” he said “Sebla” because he was not able to speak in this way, and they took him and they killed him at the crossing of Jordan, and there fell at that time forty and two thousand from Aphreim

And there fell at that time of Ephraim forty and two thousand. Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth and he said Sibboleth for he could not frame to pronounce it right: then they laid hold on him, and slew him at the fords of the Jordan. They told him, “Please say Shibboleth.” If he said, “Sibboleth,” because he could not pronounce it correctly, they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. At that time forty-two thousand from Ephraim died.

They told him, “Please say Shibboleth.” If he said, “Sibboleth,” because he could not pronounce it correctly, they seized him and executed him at the fords of the Jordan. At that time forty-two thousand of the Ephraimites fell.

Then they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. They said to him, “Then say ‘Shibboleth.’” And he said, “Sibboleth,” for he could not pronounce it correctly. Thus there fell at that time 42,000 of Ephraim. Then they seized him and slew him at the fords of the Jordan. Then they would say to him, “Say now, ‘Shibboleth.’” But he said, “Sibboleth,” for he could not pronounce it correctly. So at that time forty-two thousand from Ephraim fell. Then they seized him and slaughtered him at the crossing places of the Jordan. Then they would say to him, “Just say, ‘Shibboleth.’” But he said, “Sibboleth,” for he was not prepared to pronounce it correctly. There fell at that time forty-two thousand Ephraimites. Then they would take him and kill him at the fords of the Jordan. Then they would say to him, “Then say, ‘Shibboleth’!” And he would say, “Sibboleth,” for he could not 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. Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. So at that time 42,000 Ephraimites were killed. At that time 42,000 of the Ephraimites fell. Then they seized him and slaughtered him at the fords of the Jordan. They said to him, “Then say Shibboleth,” and he said, “Sibboleth,” for he could not pronounce it right. In all, 42,000 Ephraimites were killed at that time. Then they would take him and kill him at the shallow crossings of the Jordan. They would tell him to say “Shibboleth.” If he was from Ephraim, he would say “Sibboleth,” because people from Ephraim cannot pronounce the word correctly. Forty-two thousand Ephraimites were killed at that time. They said, “All right, say ‘Shibboleth.’” If he said, “Sibboleth,” because he could not pronounce the word correctly, they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan.
