Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Exodus 30:2:

  • Newari: “it must be a cubit long, a cubit wide two cubits high and square. Its horns and altar must be of same piece of wood.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “It must be square — 18 inches long and wide, and three feet high. It must have things-like-horns on the corners which are- already -formed along with the altar when it is-made.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • Bariai: “This table’s length and its width will turn out the same and extend to 18 inches (lit. the bending of our[incl] elbow). And its height will extend to 36 inches (lit. to our chest). And on the four corners of the table’s top, hew things which look like bulmakao’s horns. And make the table’s top together with its horns from one piece of akas wood.” (Source: Bariai Back Translation)
  • Opo: “They must carve for it horn four on its corners. They must build it as square so that its width, let it be joint of hand one, and its length, let it be joint of hand two.” (Source: Opo Back Translation)
  • English: “It is to be square, 18 in./45 cm. on each side. It is to be 3 feet/90 cm. high. Tell them to make a projection that looks like a horn on each of the top corners. The projections must be carved from the same block of wood that the altar is made from.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
