complete verse (Numbers 13:23)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 13:23:

  • Kupsabiny: “Those people came to the valley of Eshkol. There they cut a branch of a vine which had one head of its fruits. It was so heavy that it was two people who were needed to carry that branch. They carried those fruits on a pole. Those people brought fruits from other trees and also those of a fig tree.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “After that they went to the valley of Eschcol. Then from there, having cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes, two men carried it, having put it on a carrying pole. They also brought pomegranates and figs.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “When- they -reached Eshcol which is the passage-way of water, they cut-off one cluster of grapes. It (is) very heavy so it-was-placed/put on a pole and was-carried/(carried-between-them) by the two person. They also brought fruits which are pomegranates and figs.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “In one valley, they cut from a grapevine one cluster of grapes. Because it was very large, they needed two men to carry it on a pole. They also picked some pomegranates and some figs to carry back to their camp.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
