Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joshua 21:11:
- Kupsabiny: “The first city given to the house of Aaron was Kiriath-arba in the highland of Judah. (Anak was the grandchild/descendant of Arba and Kiriath-arba is today called Hebron which is one of (those cities) where people may flee to.)” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “They gave them Kiriath-Arba city, which is called Hebron, in the hill country of Judah with grazing land all around it. (Arba was and ancestor of Anak.)” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “Kiriat Arba (which is Hebron) was-given to them in the mountains of Juda, including along-with the pasturelands around it. (Arba particularly-was the father of Anak.)” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “They allotted to them Kiriath-Arba (which is now named Hebron), in the hilly area of Judah. Arba received its name because Arba was the ancestor of the giants of the Anak people-group.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
