  • Kupsabiny: “Ahimelech replied that, ‘I don’t have the bread that is for all people (ordinary bread), but I only have bread which has comes from the House of God. You (plur.) can even/still eat it as long as none of you has recently slept with a woman.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Then the priest replied to David, "I have no bread except the dedicated holy bread. But if your men have been staying without having intercourse with women, you can take this along."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The priest replied, ‘I do-not-have ordinary bread, but there-is bread here which has-been-offered. I will-give this if you (sing.) and your (sing.) men have- not -lain-down-beside/(have- not -had-sexual-relations-with) women in these days.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “The priest answered David, ‘There is no ordinary bread here, but I have some of the sacred bread that was placed before Yahweh. Your men may eat it if they have not slept with women recently.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
