complete verse (Joshua 19:51)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joshua 19:51:

  • Kupsabiny: “The people who granted these lands to the clans of Israel were Eleazar who was priest, Joshua son of Nun and the leaders. They cast lots to ask/inquire from God in Shilo there in the compound of the Tent of God. That was how the distribution of that land was.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “In this way Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the leaders of the tribes gave these inheritances to the Israelites by casting lots before the LORD, at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting in Shiloh. In this way they finished the work of distributing the land.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The-(ones-who) divided/allotted the land were Eleazar the priest, Josue the child/(son) of Nun, and the leaders/[lit. heads] of each tribe of Israel. They did this by-means-of casting-lots in the presence of the LORD, at the gate of the Meeting-Together-Place Tent there at Shilo. So the dividing/partitioning of the land was-finished.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Those were the areas that were allotted to the various tribes of Israel. Eleazar the Supreme Priest and Joshua and the leaders of each tribe divided up the land while they were all at Shiloh, by casting lots/throwing marked stones to decide which area each tribe would receive. They did that while Yahweh was watching, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent. In that way they completed dividing up the land.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
