Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joshua 5:1:
- Kupsabiny: “When all the kings of the Amorites who lived on the West side of the river Jordan and all the kings of the Caananites who lived on the side of the ocean of Mediterranean heard that God had stopped the waters of the river Jordan so that the Israelites could cross over they despaired.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “The Amorite kings who lived west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings who lived on the seacoast heard the report that the LORD had dried up the Jordan until the Israelites had crossed over the river. Their hearts quaked because of the Israelites and they had no more courage.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “All the Amornon kings in the west of Jordan and all the Canaanhon kings on the seashore of the Sea of Mediteraneo heard-the-news of how the LORD caused- the River Jordan -to-become-dry when the Israelinhon crossed-over. Therefore they became-afraid and lost courage to fight-against the Israelinhon.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “All the kings of the people-groups to the west of the Jordan River and all the kings of the groups who were descendants of Canaan and who lived close to the Mediterranean Sea heard about how Yahweh had dried up the water of the Jordan River until all we Israeli people had crossed over. So they became very dismayed. They no longer were courageous enough to fight us.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
