Judges 12:5, 6 - The Gileadites seized the fords of the Jordan before the Ephraimites arrived. And when any Ephraimite who escaped said, "Let me cross over," the men of Gilead would say to him, "Are you an Ephraimite?" If he said, "No," then they would say to him, "Then say, 'Shibboleth'!" And he would say, "Sibboleth," for he could not pronounce it right. Then they would take him and kill him at the fords of the Jordan. There fell at that time forty-two thousand Ephraimites. [NKJV]

In what historical way was the word shibboleth used?

In the Bible, Judges, Chapter 12- the tribe of Gilead had been at war with the tribe of Ephriam, and beaten them. The losers were trying to cross the Jordan River and escape. Gilead posted soldiers at the crossing points, and stopped anyone trying to cross. They would make the person say the word "Shibboleth"- a word that meant the part of a plant that has grain. The Emphriamites spoke a different language, and spoke the word as "Sibboleth"- and were thus identified as enemies. The today it means a word or phrase whose pronunciation identifies a speaker as belonging to a particular group.
