Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joshua 15:9:
- Kupsabiny: “The border stretched to the water holes of Nephtoah and headed towards the cities near the mountain of Ephron. It turned there heading towards Baalah (which became Kiriath-jearim).” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Then that boundary goes down from the top of the hill to the spring named Nephtoah and from there to the cities of Mount Ephron and then goes down toward Baalah, called Kiriah-Jearim.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “From there, this goes-toward the Spring of Neftoa, and goes-out to the cities/towns near the Mountain of Efron. Then this goes-down to Baala (which is Kiriat Jearim),” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “From there the border extended northwest to Nephtoah Spring, and from there to the cities near Ephron Mountain. From there the border extended west toward Baalah, which is now named Kiriath-Jearim.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
