OET (OET-LV) And_they_said to_him/it say please Shibboleth and_he/it_said Sibboleth and_not he_gave_attention to_pronounce right and_seized DOM_him and_executed_him to the_fords the_Yardēn and_fell in/on/at/with_time the_that of_ʼEfrayim forty and_two thousand.
OET (OET-RV) then they’d demand, “Now say: Shibboleth.” But if he said “Sibboleth” because he didn’t have time to think to pronounce it correctly, they would seize him and would slaughter him at those crossing places of the Yordan. Forty-two thousand from Efraim fell at that time.

These words have no meaning. Copy these words into your language, and make sure that the beginning of the words, that is the letters “Sh” and “S” are translated differently.
(Occurrence 0) pronounce the word
(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said to=him/it say now shibboleth and=he/it_said sibboleth and=not he_could to,pronounce yes/correct/thus/so and,seized DOM,him and,executed,him to/towards fords the,Jordan and,fell in/on/at/with,time the,that of,Ephraim forty and,two thousand )

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said to=him/it say now shibboleth and=he/it_said sibboleth and=not he_could to,pronounce yes/correct/thus/so and,seized DOM,him and,executed,him to/towards fords the,Jordan and,fell in/on/at/with,time the,that of,Ephraim forty and,two thousand )
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “They killed forty-two thousand Ephraimites”
12:6 The term Shibboleth has come to mean any password used to identify imposters. Such linguistic litmus tests have been used by armies throughout history.
• 42,000 Ephraimites: This number could possibly be translated as “42 troops” (see study note on Exod 12:37).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
