Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joshua 7:26:

  • Kupsabiny: “They gathered many stones on top the body of Achan which (plur.) are there to this day. Then the anger of God died down. So, that place is called Valley of Achor to this day.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “They covered his corpse with a great heap of rocks. The heap is still existing to this day. Then the dreadful anger of the LORD subsided. So even today the name of that place is the Valley of Achor.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Afterwards, they covered Acan with stones. These stones (are) still there until now. And that place is-called the Valley of Acor until now.
    Then the anger of LORD disappeared.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “They piled rocks over the ashes of their corpses, and those rocks are still there. That is why that valley is called Trouble Valley. After that, Yahweh was no longer angry with the Israeli people.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
