¿µ¾î¼º°æ
They asked him: Say then, Scibboleth, which is interpreted, An ear of corn. But he answered, Sibboleth, not being able to express an ear of corn by the same letter. Then presently they took him and killed him in the very passage of the Jordan. And there fell at that time of Ephraim, two and forty thousand.
King James
¿µ¾î¼º°æ
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.
Louis Second

Ils lui disaient alors: Hé bien, dis Schibboleth. Et il disait Sibboleth, car il ne pouvait pas bien prononcer. Sur quoi les hommes de Galaad le saisissaient, et l'égorgeaient près des gués du Jourdain. Il périt en ce temps-là quarante-deux mille hommes d'Éphraïm
Martin Luther
µ¶¾î¼º°æ
so hießen sie ihn sprechen: Schiboleth, so sprach er: Siboleth, und konnte es nicht recht reden. So griffen sie ihn und schlugen ihn an der Furt des Jordans, daß zu der Zeit von Ephraim fielen zweiundvierzigtausend.
Vulgate
