Judges 12 (YLT) Young's Literal Translation

1 And the men of Ephraim are called together, and pass over northward, and say to Jephthah, `Wherefore has thou passed over to fight against the Bene-Ammon, and on us hast not called to go with thee? thy house we burn over thee with fire.`
2 And Jephthah saith unto them, `A man of great strife I have been (I and my people) with the Bene-Ammon, and I call you, and ye have not saved me out of their hand,
3 and I see that thou art not a saviour, and I put my life in my hand, and pass over unto the Bene-Ammon, and Jehovah giveth them into my hand -- and why have ye come up unto me this day to fight against me?`
4 And Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead, and fighteth with Ephraim, and the men of Gilead smite Ephraim, because they said, `Fugitives of Ephraim are ye Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim -- in the midst of Manasseh.`
5 And Gilead captureth the passages of the Jordan to Ephraim, and it hath been, when any of the fugitives of Ephraim say, `Let me pass over,` and the men of Gilead say to him, `An Ephramite thou?` and he saith, `No;`
6 that they say to him, `Say, I pray thee, Shibboleth;` and he saith, `Sibboleth,` and is not prepared to speak right -- and they seize him, and slaughter him at the passages of the Jordan, and there fall at that time, of Ephraim, forty and two chiefs.
7 And Jephthah judged Israel six years, and Jephthah the Gileadite dieth, and is buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
8 And after him Ibzan of Beth-Lehem judgeth Israel,
9 and he hath thirty sons and thirty daughters, he hath sent without and thirty daughters hath brought in to his sons from without; and he judgeth Israel seven years.
10 And Ibzan dieth, and is buried in Beth-Lehem.
11 And after him Elon the Zebulunite judgeth Israel, and he judgeth Israel ten years,
12 and Elon the Zebulunite dieth, and is buried in Aijalon, in the land of Zebulun.

14 and he hath forty sons, and thirty grandsons, riding on seventy ass-colts, and he judgeth Israel eight years.

1 And the men H376 of Ephraim H669 gathered themselves together, H6817 and went H5674 northward, H6828 and said H559 unto Jephthah, H3316 Wherefore H4069 passedst thou over H5674 to fight H3898 against the children H1121 of Ammon, H5983 and didst not H3808 call H7121 us to go H1980 with H5973 thee? we will burn H8313 thine house H1004 upon H5921 thee with fire. H784
2 And Jephthah H3316 said H559 unto H413 them, I H589 and my people H5971 were H1961 at great strife H376 H7379 H3966 with the children H1121 of Ammon; H5983 and when I called H2199 you , ye delivered H3467 me not H3808 out of their hands H4480. H3027
3 And when I saw H7200 that H3588 ye delivered H3467 me not, H369 I put H7760 my life H5315 in my hands, H3709 and passed over H5674 against H413 the children H1121 of Ammon, H5983 and the LORD H3068 delivered H5414 them into my hand: H3027 wherefore H4100 then are ye come up H5927 unto H413 me this H2088 day, H3117 to fight H3898 against me?
4 Then Jephthah H3316 gathered together H6908 H853 all H3605 the men H376 of Gilead, H1568 and fought H3898 with H854 Ephraim: H669 and the men H376 of Gilead H1568 smote H5221 H853 Ephraim, H669 because H3588 they said, H559 Ye H859 Gileadites H1568 are fugitives H6412 of Ephraim H669 among H8432 the Ephraimites, H669 and among H8432 the Manassites.

If he said, H559 Nay; H3808
6 Then said H559 they unto him, Say H559 now H4994 Shibboleth: H7641 and he said H559 Sibboleth: H5451 for he could not H3808 frame H3559 to pronounce H1696 it right.
