  • Hiligaynon: «Now, Debora the one-who-had-taken-care of Rebeka died. So she was-buried under the oak/[terebinto] tree there below Betel. That tree was-called Alon Bacut.» (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: «Deborah, who had taken care of Isaac’s wife Rebekah when Rebekah was a small girl, was now very old. She died and was buried under an oak tree south of Bethel. So they named that place Allon-Bacuth, which means ‘oak of weeping’.» (Source: Translation for Translators)
