Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Ezra 2:61:
- Kupsabiny: “Houses/families of other priests who returned are: Hobaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai. (This man called Barzillai had married a daughter of Barzillai of Gilead and he is also called by that name.)” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Then, among the descendants of the priests, [there were] the descendants of Hobaiah, the descendants of Hakkoz and the descendants of Barzillai, who, having married a daughter of Barzillai the Gileadite, took his name.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “The descendants of Habaya, Hakoz, and Barzilai also could- not -prove that they were priests. (When this Barzilai married, he carried the name of his father-in-law Barzilai whose of/from-Gilead.) Because they could- not -find the list of their ancestors, they were not accepted as priests.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Hobaiah’s clan, Hakkoz’s clan, and Barzillai’s clan also returned. Barzillai had married a woman who was a descendant of Barzillai from the Gilead region, and he had taken for himself the name of his father-in-law’s clan.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
