Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joshua 22:23:

  • Kupsabiny: “May God punish us if we have really built for ourselves an altar to make sacrifices that are burned completely, food (offerings) that are given (to him) and those (offerings) of fellowship.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “If we have built an altar to offer to offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, or to sacrifice fellowship offerings on it for ourselves, having abandoned the pursuit of the LORD, may the LORD Himself punish us.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “If we (excl.) have-disobeyed the LORD by building/setting-up/[lit. causing-to-stand] our (excl.) own altar for burnt offerings, gift offerings, or offerings for a good relationship, may-it-be that the LORD (is) the one to-punish us (excl.).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “If we have disobeyed one of Yahweh’s laws, we request that he should punish us. We did not build that new altar to completely burn animals as sacrifices to Yahweh, or to offer on it sacrifices of grain or sacrifices to maintain fellowship with God.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
