complete verse (Leviticus 4:20)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Leviticus 4:20:

  • Kupsabiny: “He shall do to this bullock everything like he did to the bullock which was used as a sacrifice which swept away the sin for the mistake of a priest. The priest shall do like this so as to extinguish the mistake/sin of the people and they are forgiven.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Just as it is done with the bull of the Purification Sacrifice, so just like that it must also be done with this bull. The priest must make atonement for them in this way and they will be forgiven.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “And he will- also -do to this cow the-same-as he did to the cow which (was) an offering for becoming-clean. He will-take all the fat[s] of the cow and will-burn (it) on the altar, and then he will-burn the cow outside the camp. By-means-of this (which) the head priest will-do, the Israelinhon will-be-redeemed from their sin and the LORD will-forgive them. This is the offering of becoming-clean for the community of Israel.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “He must do with this bull the same things that he did with the bull that was an offering for his own sins, and they will be forgiven {Yahweh will forgive them}.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
