Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joshua 10:30:

  • Kupsabiny: “God handed over that city and the king from there to them. The people of Israel killed all the people of that city so that no one escaped. They also killed the king of that city like the one of Jericho.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The LORD gave that city and its king into the hand of the Israelites, and he killed all the people who were there with the sword. He did not keep any survivors. As he had killed the king of Jericho, he also did just like that to the king of that place.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The LORD also delivered/handed-over to them this city and its king. They killed all its residents, and no-one at-all was-left alive. Josue did to the king of Libna what he had-done to the king of Jerico.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Yahweh enabled the Israelis to conquer that city and its king. They killed everyone in the city; they did not spare anyone/allow anyone to remain alive. They killed the king of Libnah just like they had killed the king of Jericho.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
