Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezekiel 8:3:
- Kupsabiny: “Then he extended something like a hand and took hold of my hair. The Spirit carried me up and went with me to Jerusalem. He went to place me there by the gate which was at the side of North in the courtyard of the House of God where that idol was that was being worshiped that incited God to become angry.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “He stretched-out what-seemed-like his hand and he held me by the hair. The Spirit lifted- me -up into the air and brought to Jerusalem, in the north side of the gate of the inner courtyard of the temple, where a little god was-placed which really provoked- God -to-anger.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “He reached out what seemed to be a hand and grabbed me by the hair of my head. The Spirit lifted me up high above the earth, and in visions God took me from Babylon to Jerusalem. He took me to the temple, to the north gate, to the place where there was an idol that caused Yahweh to be very disgusted and furious.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
