complete verse (Numbers 7:84)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 7:84:

  • Kupsabiny: “So, all the things that those leaders gave for the anointing/inauguration of the altar are these: Twelve plates made from silver, twelve bowls made from silver and twelve small bowls made from gold which things that smell sweet filled. The total weight of silver reached twenty-eight kilos following the standard for weighing decided in the Tent of God. The total weight of gold reached one and a half kilo following the weight which was decided in the Tent of God.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “These are the offerings that the leaders of the tribes of Israel offered on the day that the altar was anointed — twelve silver trays, twelve silver sprinkling bowls, and twelve flattened golden vessels.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “These were all the offerings of the twelve leaders/[lit. heads] of the Israelinhon for the dedication of the altar: twelve silver large-plates, twelve silver bowls, and twelve golden small-cups.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “When the altar was dedicated to Yahweh, those twelve leaders brought these gifts:
    —twelve silver plates and twelve silver bowls, weighing a total of about 60 pounds/27.6 kg., each of them being weighed on the scales kept in the Sacred Tent;
    —twelve gold dishes filled with incense, weighing a total of about three pounds/1.4 kg., each being weighed on those same scales;
    —twelve bulls, twelve full-grown rams, and twelve one-year-old rams, to be sacrifices that were completely burned, along with the grain offerings;
    —twelve goats to be sacrificed to forgive the people for the sins they have committed;
    —and 24 bulls, 60 full-grown rams, 60 goats, and 60 rams that were one-year-old, to be sacrifices to maintain the people’s fellowship with Yahweh.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
