Judges 12:6 [2] Lit speak thus. The difference in pronunciation was between a Hebrew consonant with an 'sh' sound, which the Ephraimites evidently did not have in their dialect, and another consonant with a sharp 's' sound. This difference was similar to that between the Hebrew greeting "Shalom," and the greeting "Salaam" used in Islamic circles. Shibboleth has even been accepted into English as a word meaning "a peculiarity of pronunciation." In Hebrew it refers to an ear or head of grain.
