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, you^2f delivered me not out of their hands. 3And when I saw that you^2f delivered [me] not, I put my life in my hands, and passed over against the children of ‘Amon [Inbred], and the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are you^2f 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, You^2f 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] said 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].
