  • Kupsabiny: “Then all the people who trembled at the words of the God of Israel on account of this sin of these people who had returned from slavery gathered around me. I stayed there puzzled/perplexed/confused until evening at the time/hours for sacrifices to be burned.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Then, because of the transgressions that had been committed by the returned captives, all the people who trembled, who obeyed the word of the God of Israel, gathered to my place. I remained like that shock until it was time for the evening sacrifice.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The people gathered-around me terrified of the message of God of Israel about the betrayal/treachery of their fellow Israelinhon who had-returned from captivity. I just sat-down appalled until the time of the evening sacrifice had-arrived.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “So many of the Israelis trembled/were afraid when they heard that some of those who had returned from Babylonia had sinned by disobeying the God of us Israelis like that. They came and sat with me until it was time to offer the evening sacrifices of grain.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
