We wil burne thy house and the with fyre. Iephthae sayde vnto th&ebar;: I and my people had a greate matter with þe; children of Ammon, and I cried vpon you, but ye helped me not out of their handes. Now whan I sawe þt; there was no helper, I put note my soule in my honde, and wente agaynst the children of Ammon, and the LORDE delyuered them in to my hande. Wherfore come ye vp to me, to fighte agaynst me?

B   And Iephthae gathered all the men in Gilead, ∧ foughte agaynst Ephraim. And the men in Gilead smote Ephraim, because they sayde: Ye Gileadites are as they þt; fle awaye before Ephraim, (and dwell) am&obar;ge Ephraim ∧ Manasse. And the Gileadites toke þe; ferye of Iordane from Ephraim. Now wh&abar; one of þe; fugityue Ephraites dyd saye: Let me go ouer, þe; men of Gilead sayde: Art thou an Ephraite? yf he answered: No, they bad him saye: Schiboleth, ∧ he sayde: Siboleth, ∧ coulde not speake it righte: then they toke him, ∧ slew him at þe; ferye of Iordane, so þt; the same tyme there fell of Epraim two ∧ fortye M.
