Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 10:9:
- Kupsabiny: “That is what caused that the Levites are not given their own land like their brothers. They are given a portion of the things of God following how your (plur.) God had said.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “So the LORD did not give a share or property to the of descendants of Levi like he gave to the other tribes of Israel. As the LORD your God told them, the LORD is their inheritance.)” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “That is why the descendants of Levi have no inherited land like what their fellow Israelinhon have-received. The LORD himself is their inheritance as what the LORD your (plur.) God had-said.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “That is the reason that the tribe of Levi did not receive any land like the other tribes did. What they received was the work/privilege of being Yahweh’s priests, which is what he said that they should do.)” (Source: Translation for Translators)
