complete verse (Nehemiah 8:15)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Nehemiah 8:15:

  • Kupsabiny: “He had said that this was to be announced in Jerusalem and all their towns, informing all the people to ascend a hill and pick branches of olive, wild olive, myrtle, palm leaves and other plants/trees. Those people were expected to use those branches to put up tents for resting on the day of that feast, according to how the law says.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “And they should let-it-be-known to Jerusalem and to the rest of their towns the command of the LORD that they will-go-up to the mountains and take the branches of olive-trees, myrtles, palms, and the branches of the shady/leafy trees in-order to make roofed-shelters, according to what was-written in the Law.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “They also learned that they should proclaim in Jerusalem and in all the towns that the people should go to the hills and cut branches from olive trees that they have planted and from wild olive trees and from myrtle trees and palm trees and fig trees. They should make shelters from these branches, and live in those shelters during the festival, just as Moses wrote that they should do.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
