complete verse (Genesis 4:23)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Genesis 42:3:

  • Kankanaey: “So it was that Jose’s ten older-siblings went to Egipto to go buy what they would eat, because the famine had also become-severe in Canaan. But as for Benjamin who was his actual younger-sibling, Jacob did not give-permission that he go-along because he was-afraid lest there-be something-that-would-happen to him. When Jose’s siblings then arrived in Egipto, they joined the other collective-people to go buy-food-supplies.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Newari: “So Joseph’s ten elder brothers went to Egypt to buy grain.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
