Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Genesis 20:18:

- Hiligaynon: “Because of Abimelec’s taking-away of Sarah, the LORD willed that all the women in his household could- not -give-birth. Therefore Abraham prayed to God, and God healed the wife of Abimelec and his female slaves so-that they could-give-birth again. God also healed Abimelec from his sickness.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “This was because Yahweh had caused it to be impossible for any of the women in Abimelech’s household to bear children, because Abimelech had taken Abraham’s wife Sarah.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
