Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Exodus 21:3:

• Kupsabiny: “If someone got/acquired his slave when that slave was already married, that slave will be released with his wife. And/But if a person got/acquired his slave before that slave had married and (he) gave him a wife, then the wife will remain and that man goes away without a wife. That woman will remain with any child who was born in the home of the master.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)

• Hiligaynon: “If when he was-bought he did-not-have a wife and later-on he got-married, only he will-go-free in the seventh year. But if he had a wife when he was bought, his wife will- also -be-freed with him.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
