  • Kupsabiny: “God said to Moses, ‘Return the stick of Aaron and go and place it there in front of the Ark of the Covenant. It shall stay there to be a lesson to the Israelites who accepted to oppose/rebel so that they do not continue to oppose me. Then they shall not die.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The LORD said to Moses, ‘As a sign of the sudden death that will happen to those who make opposition, bring Aaron’s stick and place it once again before the ark of the covenant. Then you will stop their complaining against me, otherwise they will die."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The LORD said to Moises, ‘Put-back the staff/cane of Aaron in front of the Box of the Law so-that it will-be- a -warning to the rebels that they will-die if they will- not -stop complaining against me.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, ‘Put Aaron’s stick in front of the sacred chest, and let it stay there permanently. That will be a warning to people who want to rebel against me. Then no more people will die because of complaining against me.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
