Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joshua 17:15:

• Kupsabiny: “Joshua replied to those people, ‘If you are so many, go up into the forest and clear it until there will be a place where you can stay in the country of the Perizzites and that of the Rephaites since the highland of Ephraim is not enough for you.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Joshua replied, "If your numbers are so many and if the hill country of Ephraim is [too] small for you, go the forests in the land of the Perizzites and Rephaites and cut trees for yourselves."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Josue replied, ‘If you (plur.) (are) so numerous/many and the mountains of Efraim (are) too/[limiting particle] small for you (plur.), [you (plur.)] go to the forest of the Periznon and Refaimnon. There [you (plur.)] clear-out a place for yourselves/[lit. your (plur.) own self].’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Joshua replied to them, ‘I agree that you do not have enough land in the hilly area of the tribe of Ephraim. So, since you have a lot of people, I will allot more land to you, in the hilly region. But you will have to cut down the trees in the forest and make a place for yourselves in the land where the Periz and Repha people-groups live.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
