¹And the men of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] gathered themselves together, and went northward, and said unto Yiftach [He Opens] , For what reason passed youi over to fight against the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] , and did not call us to go with youi ? we will burn youri house upon youi with fire.

²And Yiftach [He Opens] said unto them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] ; and when I called you, you2f delivered me not out of their hands.

³And when I saw that you2f delivered [me] not, I put my life in my hands, and passed over against the children of ‘Amon [Inbred] , and the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are you2f come up unto me this day, to fight against me?

⁴Then Yiftach [He Opens] gathered together all the men of Gil’ad [Rocky Region] , and fought with Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] : and the men of Gil’ad [Rocky Region] struck Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] , because they said, You2f Gil’adi [are] fugitives of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] among the Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] , [and] among the M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] .

⁵And the Gil’adi took the passages of Yarden [Descender] before the Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] : and it was [so] , that when those Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gil’ad [Rocky Region] aid unto him, [Are] youi an Efrayimiti [Doubly Fruitful] ? If he said, No;

⁶Then said they unto him, Say now Shibbolet [Flowing Stream] : and he said Sibbolet [Ear of Grain or Wheat] : for he could not frame to pronounce [it] right. Then they took him, and killed him at the passages of Yarden [Descender] : and there fell at that time of the Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] forty and two thousand.

⁷And Yiftach [He Opens] judged Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] six years. Then died Yiftach [He Opens] the Gil’adi [Hill of Testimony] , and was buried in [one of] the cities of Gil’ad [Rocky Region] .

⁸And after him Ibtzan [Their Whiteness] of Beit-Lechem [House of Bread] judged Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] .

⁹And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, [whom] he sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons. And he judged Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] seven years.

¹⁰Then died Ibtzan [Their Whiteness] , and was buried at Beit-Lechem [House of Bread] .

¹¹And after him Elon [Mighty] , a Z’vuluni [Wished-For Habitation] , judged Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] ; and he judged Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] ten years.

¹²And Elon [Mighty] the Z’vuluni [Wished-For Habitation] died, and was buried in Ayalon [Field of Deer] in the country of Z’vulun [Glorious Dwelling Place] .

¹³And after him Avdon [Servile] the son of Hillel [Praising] , a Pir’atoni [Princely] , judged Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] .

¹⁴And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] eight years.

¹⁵And Avdon [Servile] the son of Hillel [Praising] the Pir’atoni [Princely] died, and was buried in Pir’aton [Princely] in the land of Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] , in the mount of the ‘Amalekim [Dwellers in a Valley] .
