Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Deuteronomy 32:13:

and you ate the food of the farms.
He gave you honey from a rock,
and oil from olive trees.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “He caused them to reach high peaks
and he fed them the crops of the field.
He fed them honey from the rock.
and he gave them oil from the flint of the rocks.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “He had- them -ruled over the mountains, and had- them -ate the produce of the land.
He looked-after them with honey from the cliff and oil from the olives that grow on the rocky ground.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation) - English: “‘After they entered the land that Yahweh promised to give to them,
Yahweh enabled them to rule the hilly areas;
they ate the crops that grew in the fields.
They found honey in the rocks,
and their olive trees grew even in stony ground.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
