Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 9:21:

• Kupsabiny: “Then, I took that evil calf that people had formed and I burned it in a fire. I crushed it and ground it to become dust. Then I spread that dust in the river that flowed in/from the mountain.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Then the ox calf, the sinful thing you had made, I threw into the fire, then, pulverizing it, reducing it to dust, I cast it into the river that was coming down the mountain.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Then I took the calf/cow that you (plur.) had-made, that pushed you (plur.) to sin, and melted it in the fire. Afterwards I finely-crushed it as fine as dust, and threw/spread into the place-where- the water -flows from the mountain.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Your ancestors had sinned by requesting Aaron to make a metal statue of a calf. So I took that statue and I melted it in a fire and crushed it and ground it into very tiny pieces. Then I threw those tiny pieces into the stream that flowed down the mountain.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
