complete verse (Numbers 16:38)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 16:38:

  • Kupsabiny: “These pans belong to those sinners who made their lives be lost. So, take (them) and beat (them) to be flat and cover the altar with them. These pans are holy because they were brought before God. That word/matter shall be a lesson to the people of Israel.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Make metal sheets to cover the altar by beating with a hammer the incense firepots of those who destroyed their lives by sinning. For, having been offered before the LORD, they are holy. As for the metal sheets, may they be a sign for the Israelites."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “of these containers which came from the people who have-died because of their sins. Then have- the containers -hammered until (they) will-be-flat/plain and cover/lay-upon (them) over the altar for they were-offered to the LORD and they became holy. This covering on the altar will-become a warning for the Israelinhon.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Those men have now died because of their sin; so Eleazar must take their pans and hammer the metal to make it become very thin. He must make a covering for the altar with that metal. Those pans were used to offer incense to me, so they are holy/dedicated to me. What happened to those pans will now warn the Israeli people.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
