Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 16:39:

  • Newari: “Eleazar the priest, took the bronze firepots [that] had been offered by those people who had been reduced to ashes, and beat them into metal sheets to put on the altar,” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “So according to what the LORD had-commanded through Moises, Eleazar the priest took the bronze containers of incense that were-burned that was-brought by men, and have- (them) -hammered in-order to-cover/lay-upon the altar. This is a warning for the Israelinhon that no-one can-come-near the altar to burn incense to the LORD aside only for the descendants of Aaron, so-that what had-happened to Korah and his followers will- not- happen to him.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “So Eleazar the priest collected the 250 pans for burning incense that had been used by the men who died in the fire. He hammered the pans very thin to make a covering for the altar, as Yahweh told Moses/me should be done.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
