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).

12:7 six years: Like all the judges after Gideon, Jephthah’s years as judge were specific and short (see study note on 8:28). Jephthah was buried honorably, so despite his limitations he was an inspired and successful warrior (11:29; contrast Abimelech, study note on 9:54-55).
