Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Jeremiah 41:8:

• Kupsabiny: “But ten people among those people begged, ‘Oh please, do not kill us! We have kept much good wheat, barley, oil and honey out in the open area.’ So, Ishmael did not kill those.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “[The] ten of them were- not -killed for they said to Ishmael, ‘Do not kill us! We will-give to you our wheat, barley, oil and honey which are-hidden on the farm.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “There were only ten of them whom they spared/did not kill. They were not killed because they promised to Ishmael that if he allowed them to remain alive, they would bring him lots of wheat and barley and olive oil and honey that they had hidden.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
