Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Leviticus 16:13:
- Kupsabiny: “He shall place those things that smell sweet by/on the glowing charcoal there in front of God. Then, the smoke of those things that smell shall cover/close off the cover/lid of the Box of the Covenant so that he shall not die.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “He must put the incense powder on the coals before the LORD. Its smoke must cover the atonement cover, which is above the ark of the testimony, otherwise he will die.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “There in the presence of the LORD, he is-to-put the incense on the fire, and its smoke will-conceal the cover of the Box of the Agreement, so he will- not -die.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “There he must put the incense on the burning coals, with the result that a cloud of burning incense will rise up over the lid of the sacred chest. If he obeys these instructions, he will not die like Korah’s two sons did because of offering incense incorrectly (OR, because of being in God’s presence).” (Source: Translation for Translators)
