complete verse (Joshua 2:1)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joshua 2:1:

  • Kupsabiny: “Joshua had already/earlier called some two people at Shittim and said to (them), ‘You go and spy out the land of Canaan, and especially the city of Jericho.’ Then those people went, and when they arrived at the city, they entered the house of a woman who was prostitute who was called Rahab.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Then Joshua, son of Nun, speaking like this, sent two spies from Shittim without anyone knowing of it, "Go, spy out that land carefully, especially the city of Jericho." So they went. They went to the house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Now, Josue secretly sent-out two men from the camp of the Israelinhon to Shitim to spy-(out) the land of Canaan, especially the city of Jerico. When the two spies arrived at Jerico, there they stayed at the house of Rahab, a woman who sells her body.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Then Joshua chose two men from their camp at Acacia. He told them, ‘Go across the Jordan River and secretly find out all that you can about the land on that side of the river, especially about Jericho city.’ So the two men crossed the river and entered Jericho. They entered the house of a prostitute, whose name was Rahab. They stayed in her house that night.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
