complete verse (Numbers 25:13)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 25:13:

  • Kupsabiny: “This covenant is his and his descendants. They shall be priests always. It is like that because Phinehas was upset for me, and then he did a matter which has swept away the sin of Israel.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “In this covenant, I give him and his descendants a permanent right to the priesthood, For he has caused his heart to burst for God. and [he] made atonement for the Israelites."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “And in this agreement/covenant, he and his descendants will-become priests forever/[lit. until whenever], for because of me he showed that he was very angry against sin, and he redeemed the Israelinhon from their sin.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “In this agreement, I am promising to give to him and to his descendants the right/authority to be priests. I am doing this because he showed that he was very eager to honor me, his God, by stopping this sinful behavior. He has caused the Israeli people to become acceptable to me again by causing them to be forgiven for their sin.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
