Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Exodus 12:11:
- Kupsabiny: “And how you (plur.) should stay as you eat is like this: Fold your long clothes at the waist and then tie a belt around your waist. Put on shoes and let each one take a stick/walking stick. And after that, eat that meat immediately. This is the Passover Festival that you (plur.) are going to do for me your God.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)

[You (plur.)] wear/put-on your (plur.) sandals and hold your (plur.) walking-stick/staff, and eat quickly. That is the Feast of the Passing-by of the Angel that you (plur.) will-celebrate to honor me.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
