1

Then the menh376 of Ephraimh669 were summonedh6817, and they crossedh5674a  1to Zaphonh6829 and  asaidh559 to Jephthahh3316, "Whyh4069 did you crossh5674a overh5674a to fighth3898a against the sonsh1121 of Ammonh5983 withouth3808 callingh7121 us to goh1980 with you? We will burnh8313 your househ1004 down on you."

2

Jephthahh3316 saidh559 to them, "I and my peopleh5971a were at greath3966 strifeh7379 with the sonsh1121 of Ammonh5983; when I calledh2199 you, you did not deliverh3467 me from their handh3027.

3

"When I sawh7200 that you would not deliverh3467 me, I  1 atookh7760 my lifeh5315 in my handsh3709 and crossedh5674a overh5674a againsth413 the sonsh1121 of Ammonh5983, and the LORDh3068 gaveh5414 them into my handh3027. Whyh4100 then have you comeh5927 up to me thish2088 dayh3117 to fighth3898a against me?"

4

Then Jephthahh3316 gatheredh6908 allh3605 the menh376 of Gileadh1568 and foughth3898a Ephraimh669; and the menh376 of Gileadh1568  1defeatedh5221 Ephraimh669, becauseh3588 they saidh559, "You are fugitivesh6412a of Ephraimh669, O Gileaditesh1568, in the midsth8432 of Ephraimh669 and in the midsth8432 of Manassehh4519."

5

The Gileaditesh1568  acapturedh3920 the fordsh4569b of the Jordanh3383 opposite Ephraimh669. And it happenedh1961 whenh3588 any of the fugitivesh6412a of Ephraimh669 saidh559, "Let me crossh5674a overh5674a," the menh376 of Gileadh1568 would sayh559 to him, "Are you an Ephraimiteh673?" If he saidh559, "Noh3808,"

6

then they would sayh559 to him, "Sayh559 nowh4994, `Shibbolethh7642b.' " But he saidh559, "Sibbolethh5451," for he couldh3559 not  1pronounceh1696 it correctlyh3651. Then they seizedh270 him and slewh7819 him at the fordsh4569b of the Jordanh3383. Thus there fellh5307 at that timeh6256 42,000h705h8147h505 of Ephraimh669.
