Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joshua 18:8:

• Kupsabiny: “When those people had been chosen, Joshua said to them, ‘Go round and check out the land and write down, and after that, come back so that I can throw lots for you before God here in Shilo.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “After Joshua had given the command like this, before they went to walk around the land and write its description, he gave them this command, "Look at all the places of the land, write a description of it and come back to me, then I will cast lots in Shiloh before the LORD."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “When the chosen men went-(out), Josue said to them, ‘[You (plur.)] survey/explore the land and [you (plur.)] make a map of this. Then [you (plur.)] are-to-return to me here at Shilo, for I will- then -cast-lots in the presence of the LORD (to determine) whose tribe will-go to each portion of the land.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “When the men who were chosen got ready to leave, Joshua told them, ‘Go and explore the land. Then write a report of what you have seen, and bring it back to me. Then while Yahweh is watching, I will cast lots/throw marked stones here at Shiloh, to determine what area each tribe will receive.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
