Berean Standard Bible
The men of Ephraim were
gathered
together,
and
passed
northward;
and they said to Jephthah, Why did
you pass
over to fight against
the children
of
Ammon,
and
didn't
call
us to go with you? we will burn your house on
you
with fire.
Then
the men of Ephraim assembled
and crossed
the
Jordan
to
Zaphon.
They said to Jephthah, “
Why have
you crossed
over to fight the Ammonites
without
calling
us to go with you? We will burn your house down
with you
inside!”
Jephthah said
to
them
, I
and
my people were
at
great
strife
with the children
of
Ammon;
and when I called you
, you didn't
save me out of their hand
.
But
Jephthah replied
, “
My people and
I
had
a
serious
conflict
with the Ammonites,
and when I called, you did
not
save me out of their hands
.
When I saw that you didn't
save me, I put
my life in
my
hand,
and passed
over against
the children
of
Ammon
, and Yahweh
delivered them into my hand :
why then are
you come up
to
me
this
day,
to fight against me?
When I saw that you would
not
save me, I risked
my life and crossed
over to
the Ammonites
, and the
LORD
delivered them into my hand .
Why then have
you come today
to fight against me? ”
Then
Jephthah gathered together
all the men of Gilead ,
and fought with
Ephraim ;
and the men of Gilead struck Ephraim,
because they
said, You are fugitives of
Ephraim, you
Gileadites,
in the midst
of Ephraim ,
[
and ]
in
the
midst
of
Manasseh.
Jephthah then
gathered all the men of Gilead and fought against
Ephraim .
And the men of Gilead struck them
down
because the
Ephraimites
had
said, “
You Gileadites
are fugitives in
Ephraim, living
in the territories
of Ephraim and Manasseh. ”
The Gileadites took
the fords of the Jordan against
the
Ephraimites.
It
was
so
, that
when
[any
of]
the
fugitives
of
Ephraim said
, Let me go
over, the men
of
Gilead
said
to
him, Are you an Ephraimite? If he said
, No ;
The Gileadites captured
the fords of the Jordan leading
to
Ephraim
, and
whenever
a
fugitive
from
Ephraim would
say
, “
Let me cross
over, ”
the Gileadites
would
ask
him, “
Are you an Ephraimite? ”
If he answered
, “
No ,”
then
said
they to
him, Say now
Shibboleth ;
and
he said Sibboleth ;
for
he couldn't
manage
to
pronounce it right:
then
they laid
hold
on
him ,
and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. There
fell
at that time of
Ephraim
forty-two
thousand
.
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. So
at that time 42,000
Ephraimites
were
killed
.
