Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joshua 12:5:

  • Kupsabiny: “That man ruled from the mountain of Hermon in the north to Salekah in the east. He ruled the whole of Bashan until the border of the Geshurites and that of the Maacathites and it enveloped half of the northern part of Gilead. It stretched like that until where Sihon was ruling.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “He had reigned over Mount Hermon, Salecah and all of Bahsan up to the borders of the Geshurites and Maacathites and over half of Gilead up to the border of king Sihon of Heshbon.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The jurisdiction of his kingdom (was) the Mountain of Hermon, Saleca, the entire Bashan up-to the boundary of Geshur and Maacat, and the half of Gilead, up-to the boundary of Heshbon whose king was Sihon.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “He ruled over the area from Hermon Mountain and Salecah in the north, and over all the Bashan area in the east, and to the borders of the kingdoms of Geshur and Maacah to the west. Og ruled the northern half of the Gilead region, as far as the border of the land ruled by King Sihon.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
