- Western Bukidnon Manobo: «So,’ said Stephen to the leaders, ‘a great famine took place in all of the land of Egypt and also in the land of Canaan, and the inhabitants there were having a hard time. And our ancestors, there was no place where they could get food.» (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: «‘That being so, a famine arrived in the many-towns in Egipto and in Canaan, and people were excessively hardshipped. Our ancestors, they had no place-to-get what they would eat.» (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
- Tagbanwa: «Well, some years passed, then a painful famine occured in Egipto. It was the same in Canaan where our fore-fathers, the sons of Jacob, were living. They really had big hardship for it was hard to find where they could get food.» (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
