  • Hiligaynon: “Acsa replied, ‘Give/grant me a favor. I would like/[lit. wish] for you (sing.) to-give me springs, for the land which you (sing.) have-given me in Negev has-no spring.’ So Caleb gave her the place which has a spring in the upper and lower (place).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “She replied, ‘I want you to do a favor for me. You have given me some land in the southern desert, but it is very dry there. So please also give me some land that has springs of water.’ So Caleb gave her some land on higher ground that had a spring, and some land on lower ground that also had a spring.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
