Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 18:1:

- Newari: “The Levitical priests, actually the whole tribe of Levi, will not have fields like the other Israelites. They will live from the offerings of special gifts. That is their share.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “‘The priests who were the descendants of Levi, and the other members of the tribe of Levi, do not have a land as an inheritance from the tribes of Israel. They shall- only -eat from the offerings through fire which are- offered to the LORD, for this is their inheritance.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “‘The priests, who are all from the tribe of Levi, will not receive any land in Israel. Instead, they will receive some of the food that other people offer to be burned on the altar to be sacrificed to Yahweh and some of the other sacrifices that will be offered to Yahweh.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
