If he said,“Sibboleth,” because he could not pronounce the word correctly,
they seized him and killed him as the fords of the Jordan.
Then they said to him,"Now say'Shibboleth;'" and he said"Sibboleth"; for he couldn't manage to pronounce it right:
then they siezed him, and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. At that time, forty-two thousand of Ephraim fell.
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.
