Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joshua 20:5:

• Kupsabiny: “And/But if/when that person is being sought after to be killed to be avenged for the person he has killed, he must not be arrested and handed over because he just made a mistake.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Then, if the avenger of blood pursues him, they are not to deliver him into his hands, for he killed his neighbor without intending to do so. He did not kill him in anger.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “If (the one who) wants to take-revenge upon him/[lit. pay- him -back] pursues him there, the residents there are- not -to-hand- him -over. They are-to-support him because his killing of his fellowman was- not -intentional, and he did this not because of/due to his anger.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “If some relative of the one who was killed comes to that city to get revenge, the leaders of that city must not allow the relative to take the killer, because what happened was accidental. He did not hate that person and as a result deliberately kill him.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
