complete verse (Joshua 9:1)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joshua 9:1:

  • Kupsabiny: “The communities that lived west of the river Jordan were Hittites, Amorites, Caananites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. They lived in the ridges and the valley which was adjacent to the big ocean and followed the shore like that up to Lebanon. When the kings of those areas heard how Jericho and Ai had been destroyed,” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The kings in the hill country west of the Jordan and the western foothills and on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea as far north as Lebanon, all the kings of the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites heard this report.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Now, all the kings in the west of Jordan heard-about the victories/[lit. winning] of the Israelinhon. (These were the kings of the Hithanon, Amornon, Canaanhon, Periznon, Hivhanon, and Jebusnon. They were-living in the mountains, hills/[lit. small-mountains] in the west, and on the seashore of the Sea of Mediteraneo as-far-as Lebanon.)” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “There were several kings who ruled in lands that are on the west side of the Jordan River. They were the kings of the Heth people-group, the Amor people-group, the Canaan people-group, the Periz people-group, the Hiv people-group, and the Jebus people-group. They lived in the hilly area, in the foothills further west, and on the plains along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. They heard about what happened at Ai.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
