complete verse (Numbers 6:7)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 6:7:

  • Kupsabiny: “even that of (his) father, (his) mother, or (his) brother or (his) sister. They must not become dirty by coming near a corpse. But they must stay clean as long as they have dedicated themselves.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “He must not make himself unclean for them even though the dead body may be [lit.: is] his mother or father or his elder brother or younger brother or his elder sister or younger sister, for the hair on his head is a sign of his separation to God.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “even if it is his/her (own) father, mother, or brother-and-sister. He/She (must) never make- himself/herself -dirty because of them. For his/her hair is a symbol of dedication of his/her life to the LORD.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Even if the person who died is your father or your mother or your brother or your sister, you must not cause yourself to become unacceptable to me by coming close to the corpse. Your long hair shows that you belong to me in a special way, so you must not cut your hair.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
