Whenever a fugitive of Ephraim said, “Let me go over,” the men of Gilead said to him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he said, “No;” Jdg 3:28Jos 22:11Jdg 7:24Jos 2:7 then they said to him, “Now say ‘Shibboleth;’” and he said “Sibboleth”; for he couldn’t manage to pronounce it correctly, then they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. At that time, forty-two thousand of Ephraim fell. Ecc 10:12Mat 12:25Gal 5:15Isa 27:12Mat 26:73Mrk 14:70Pro 17:14Pro 18:19
