complete verse (Leviticus 13:20)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Leviticus 13:20:

  • Kupsabiny: “The priest shall examine (it) and if it is seen that the place has dug deep and the hairs of the place have changed to become white, the priest shall say that the person is unclean. (He) has a serious wound which has started from the boil.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “And when he examines it, if it appears to go deeper than the skin, and if the fine body hair there has also become white, the priest must judge him/her to be unclean. It is a contagious disease. It has come out of the boil.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “And if the skin forms-a-depression and its body-hairs have-become-white, the priest will-let-it-be-known/will-announce that this person is dirty/unclean, for he/she has a disease on the skin that has-started in the boil.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “The priest must examine it. And if it seems to be deeper than just on the skin, and if the hair in that spot has become white, it is a contagious skin disease that has appeared where the boil had been. And the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
