complete verse (Ezekiel 48:31)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 48:31:

  • Kupsabiny: “The gates through which one enters the city of Jerusalem are these: The wall has four sides and each side of the wall has three gates. Each gate is called after the names of the communities of Israel one by one. The gates of the wall on the North side are called after the clan of Reuben, with that of Judah following and after that Levi is next.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The four stone-walls which surround the city of Jerusalem have three gates/entrances each. The gates/entrances in the north stone-wall will-be-called Reuben, Juda, and Levi. The gates/entrances in the east stone-wall will-be-called Jose, Benjamin, and Dan. The gates/entrances in the south stone-wall will-be-called Simeon, Issachar, and Zebulun. And the gates/entrances in the west stone-wall will-be-called Gad, Asher, and Naftali. Each stone-wall has a length of 2,250 meters,” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “there must be three gates; each one will have the name of one of the tribes of Israel. The first one will be named for Reuben, the next for Judah, the next for Levi.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
