- Kupsabiny: “The people of Israel have been living for three hundred years in the city of Heshbon until Aroer and all the cities which are at the edge of river Arnon. Why did you not in all that time ask for that land to be returned so that you come to ask today?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “For 300 years the Israelites have been living in villages all around Heshbon, [in] Aroer and in cities on the banks of the Arnon. Why did you not take them back in [all] that time?” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “(It is) now about 300 years that the Israelinhon have-been-living in Heshbon and in Aroer, and in the villages/settlements around them, as-well-as in the towns beside Arnon. Why only now have- you (plur.) -remembered to take it?” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “For 300 years the Israeli people have lived in Heshbon and Aroer cities in your region, and in the surrounding towns, and in all the cities along the Arnon River.
