Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joshua 17:18:

• Kupsabiny: “You shall take the land where there is forest in the mountain. Clear it to become yours until you reach the border. You shall drive out the Canaanites even though (they) have strength and chariots of iron.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “the forests of the hill country will also be yours. Cut its trees and the areas to the right and the left will also be yours. Even though those Canaanites have iron chariots and are strong, you will be able to drive them out completely."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “the forest of the mountains will- also -become yours (plur.). Even-though this (is) forest, [you (plur.)] just clear (it), for this will-become yours (plur.) from the start to the end. And surely you (plur.) will-be-able-to-drive-out the Canaanhon even-though they (are) powerful and have iron chariots.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “but you will have to cut down the trees in order to make a place for you to live. It is true that the Canaan people-group are strong and have iron chariots, but you will be able to force them to leave that valley.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
