• Newari: “So the men went and walked around in all the places of the land and wrote a description of how that land could be made into seven divisions, they also made a list of the cities in each division. Then they came back to Joshua in the camp at Shiloh.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “So the men went-(out) to-survey/explore the land. Then they made a map of this, in-which the land was-divided/partitioned into seven portions, and they listed the cities and towns which (were) under-the-jurisdiction of each part. Afterwards they returned to Josue at Shilo.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
