complete verse (2 Chronicles 3:11)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Chronicles 3:11:

  • Kupsabiny: “He placed those cherubs standing together looking towards the Outer room. The wings of those cherubs had a length of thirty feet when they both met together, and one wing of each of those cherubs had a length of seven and a half feet. One of the wings of each of those cherubs touched the wall and the other wing touched the wing of the other cherub.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The cherubim’s wings from tip to tip were nine meters long. The wing of one of the cherubim was 2.2 meters long and it touched the wall of the temple. Its other wing was 2.2 meters long and it touched the other cherubim’s wing.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Each kerubin/cherubim has two wings, and each wing has a length of seven and a half feet. So the entire length of the spreading wings of the two cherubim is 30 feet. Their other wing(s) are-touching-each-other and their other wing(s) are-touching the wall(s).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Each statue had two long wings. One wing of each statue touched one of the walls of the Temple. The other wing of each statue touched a wing of the other statue. It was 7-1/2 feet from the outer tip of one wing to the outer tip of the other wing. The inner wings of the two statues touched each other.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
