• Newari: “It was always like this — during the day it would be covered by a cloud and at night it would look like fire.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “This is what happens always — the cloud covers/engulfs on/above the Tent on day-time and at night-time it shines that looks-like fire.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “On the day that the Sacred Tent was set up, a cloud covered it. From the time that the sun set until the time that the sun rose the next day, the cloud resembled a huge fire. And that is what happened every day that we/the Israelis were in the desert.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
