Then they said to him, Now say Shibboleth; and he said Sibboleth, and was not able to say it in the right way; then they took him and put him to death at the crossing-places of Jordan; and at that time forty-two thousand Ephraimites were put to death.

τοτε ελεγον προς αυτον, Ειπε λοιπον Σχιββωλεθ· και εκεινος ελεγε Σιββωλεθ· διοτι δεν ηδυνατο να προφερη ουτω. Τοτε επιανον αυτον και εφονευον αυτον εις τας διαβασεις του Ιορδανου. Και επεσον κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον τεσσαρακοντα δυο χιλιαδες Εφραιμιται.

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.
