Thematic Bible



After a little while those standing there approached and said to Peter, “You certainly are one of them, since even your accent gives you away.”

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. At that time 42,000 from Ephraim died.
