complete verse (Numbers 9:7)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 9:7:

  • Kupsabiny: “and said to (them), ‘We are not clean because we have touched a corpse, so why should we be withheld from taking to God something like all the other people of Israel take to God their things on the dedicated day?’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “And they said to Moses, "Because we have touched a corpse, we have become unclean. But why is it not OK for us to sacrifice the offering to the LORD at the prescribed time with the other Israelites?"” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “and said, ‘We (excl.) became-unclean/dirty because we (excl.) had-touched a corpse, but why are we (excl.) not allowed to celebrate this feast and to offer offerings to the LORD with the other Israelinhon at the appointed time?’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “‘It is true that we have touched a corpse. But why should that prevent us from celebrating the Passover Festival and offering sacrifices to Yahweh like everyone else ?’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
