Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 4:20:
- Kupsabiny: “Those people of the house of Kohath must not enter into the Tent to see even a little those things that are honored. If they see (them) they shall die.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “But the Kohathites must not go in to look at the holy items, not even for a moment, or else they will die."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “For if no-one-accompany them, they must not enter/go-(in) to look at the holy things for even for a moment, so they will- not -die.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “‘When the descendants of Kohath approach the sacred items in the Sacred Tent to take them to another location, Aaron and his sons must always go in with them and show each of them what work to do and what things to carry. But the descendants of Kohath must not enter the Sacred Tent at any other time and look at the things that are in it. If they do that, I will get rid of all the descendants of Kohath.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
