'Word' in the Bible

then they said to him, "Say 'Shibboleth!'" If he said, "Sibboleth" (and could not pronounce the word correctly), they grabbed him and executed him right there at the fords of the Jordan. On that day forty-two thousand Ephraimites fell dead.

The Danites said to him, "Don't say another word to us, or some very angry men will attack you, and you and your family will die."
