Judges 12:5-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 12
5
And the Gileadites took control of the crossing places of the Jordan opposite Ephraim. And it happened whenever
any of
the survivors of Ephraim said, 'Let me cross over,' that the men of Gilead would say to him, 'Are you an Ephraimite?' If he said, 'No,'
6
then they would say to him, 'Just say, ‘Shibboleth.’?' But he said, 'Sibboleth,' for he was not prepared to pronounce it correctly. Then they seized him and slaughtered him at the crossing places of the Jordan. So at that time forty-two thousand from Ephraim fell.
7
Jephthah judged Israel for six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died and was buried in
one of
the cities of Gilead.
8
Now Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel after him.
9
He had thirty sons, and thirty daughters
whom
he gave in marriage outside
the family,
and he brought in thirty daughters from outside for his sons. And he judged Israel for seven years.
10
Then Ibzan died and was buried in Bethlehem.
11
Now Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel after him; he judged Israel for ten years.
King James Version
Chapter 12
5
And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;
6
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.
7
And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
8
And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
9
And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.
10
Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Bethlehem.
11
And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.

Chapter 12
5
The Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan leading to Ephraim. Whenever a fugitive from Ephraim said, "Let me cross over," the Gileadites asked him, "Are you an Ephraimite?" If he answered, "No,"
6
they told him, "Please say Shibboleth." If he said, "Sibboleth," because he could not pronounce it correctly, they seized him and executed him at the fords of the Jordan. At that time forty-two thousand from Ephraim died.
7
Jephthah judged Israel six years, and when he died, he was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
8
Ibzan, who was from Bethlehem, judged Israel after Jephthah
9
and had thirty sons. He gave his thirty daughters in marriage to men outside the tribe and brought back thirty wives for his sons from outside the tribe. Ibzan judged Israel seven years,
10
and when he died, he was buried in Bethlehem.
11
Elon, who was from Zebulun, judged Israel after Ibzan. He judged Israel ten years,
New Living Translation
Chapter 12
5
Jephthah captured the shallow crossings of the Jordan River, and whenever a fugitive from Ephraim tried to go back across, the men of Gilead would challenge him. 'Are you a member of the tribe of Ephraim?' they would ask. If the man said, 'No, I’m not,'
6
they would tell him to say 'Shibboleth.' If he was from Ephraim, he would say 'Sibboleth,' because people from Ephraim cannot pronounce the word correctly. Then they would take him and kill him at the shallow crossings of the Jordan. In all, 42,000 Ephraimites were killed at that time.
7
Jephthah judged Israel for six years. When he died, he was buried in one of the towns of Gilead.
8
After Jephthah died, Ibzan from Bethlehem judged Israel.
9
He had thirty sons and thirty daughters. He sent his daughters to marry men outside his clan, and he brought in thirty young women from outside his clan to marry his sons. Ibzan judged Israel for seven years.
10
When he died, he was buried at Bethlehem.
11
After Ibzan died, Elon from the tribe of Zebulun judged Israel for ten years.
