• Hiligaynon: “[You (plur.)] choose three men from each tribe. I will- send them/[lit. -cause- them -to-go] to-explore/survey the remaining land. Then they are-to-return here to me bringing a map which they have-made that shows how to- divide/partition that-particular land.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Choose three men from each of your seven tribes. Then I will send them to explore the parts of the land which you have not occupied yet. When they finish exploring it, they must write a report, in which they will make a map/show the boundaries of the land that each tribe wants to receive.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
