Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 2:9:
- Kupsabiny:
Three clans shall set up on the East side, and the clan of Judah is to be in charge. Those clans are these:
Clan Leader How many soldiers Judah Nahshon son of Amminadab 74,600 Issachar Nethanel son of Zuar 54,400 Zebulun Eliab son of Helon 67,400 When they are all put together they are 186,400, and the community of Judah shall be leading (them) when they are migrating.
