complete verse (Joshua 14:2)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joshua 14:2:

  • Kupsabiny: “As God had instructed Moses, lots were cast in order to distribute the land to those nine clans and a half.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “As the LORD had commanded Moses, the land as inheritance that was west of the Jordan was distributed to the remaining nine and a half tribes by casting lots.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “According-to what the LORD had-commanded Moises, the land[s] of the nine and a half tribes were-divided/partitioned among them by-means-of casting-lots.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Yahweh had told Moses many years previously in what way he wanted the division of the land to be decided. Moses had already declared that two and a half tribes would be allotted land on the east side of the Jordan River. Joseph had two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. Half of the tribe descended from Manasseh was allotted land on the east side of the Jordan, along with the tribes of Reuben and Gad. The people belonging to the nine and a half other tribes on the west side of the Jordan River threw lots/stones that had been marked to decide which land each tribe would receive. The tribe of Levi was not allotted any land. They received only towns that already existed, towns in which to live, and pastures/fields of grass for their animals.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
