complete verse (1 Chronicles 4:14)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Chronicles 4:14:

  • Kupsabiny: “Kenaz had two sons. One was called Othniel and the other Seraiah. Seraiah produced Joab who started a settlement in the Valley of Craftsmen (that place was called like that because many craftsmen lived there.) Othniel also had two sons. They were: Hathath and Meonothai who produced Ophrah.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Meonothai was the father of Ophrah. Seraiah was the father of Joab. And Joab established Ge Harashim. Skilled craftsmen are still living there.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Meonotai was the father of Ofra. Seraya was the father of Joab, the one-who-established/founded the So-Called-Valley of the Carpenters. This was called So-Called-Valley of the Carpenters because many carpenters lived there.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Another descendant of Judah was Jephunneh. His son was Caleb. Caleb’s sons were Iru, Elah, and Naam. Elah’s son was Kenaz. The sons of Kenaz were Othniel and Seraiah.
    Othniel’s sons were Hathath and Meonothai. Meonothai was the father of Ophrah.
    Seraiah was the father of Joab. Joab was the ancestor of the people who lived in Craftsmen’s Valley. The valley was named that because many of the people who lived there were craftsmen/men who were experts in making things.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
