  • Kupsabiny: “Moses continued to say, ‘Listen, oh, people of Israel. It is near for you to cross the river Jordan and go to take the land of big communities who have strength surpassing you (plur.). Those people have big cities with walls reaching to the clouds.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Hear O Israel! You are about to go to the other side of the Jordan to conquer nations that are greater and stronger than you [are], and great cities that are enclosed by high walls that reach the sky. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “‘You (plur.) listen, people of Israel. You (plur.) are- now -to-cross Jordan in-order to possess the nations that are greater and mightier than you (plur.). Their towns are large/big and have high stone-walls as-if reaching-up already to heaven.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “‘You people of Israel, listen to me! You will soon cross the Jordan River. In the land that you will enter, there are large cities that have very high walls around them that seem to extend up to the sky. There are people-groups in that land that are more numerous and more powerful than you are.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
