Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joshua 24:7:

• Kupsabiny: “Your forefathers cried to me to save (them). Then I placed darkness between them and the people of Egypt. I made those people of Egypt to drown in the water of the lake so that it killed them. Your forefathers saw with their own eyes what I did to Egypt. They lived in the wilderness for many years.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “They pleaded with the LORD for help and He caused it to become dark between them and the Egyptians. He covered them up with the sea. With your very own eyes you saw what I did to the Egyptians. After that you lived in the wilderness for a long time.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Your ancestors asked-for help from me, and I put darkness between them and the Egiptohanon. And then I drowned the Egiptohanon in the sea. You (plur.) yourselves truly saw what I did to the Egiptohanon. Then you (plur.) lived in the desert for a long time.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Then your ancestors pleaded with me to help them. So he caused darkness/a very dark cloud to come between your ancestors and the Egyptian army, so that the Egyptian army could not see your ancestors. I separated the water in the Red Sea so that your ancestors could cross it, but when the Egyptian army tried to cross in the same way to pursue them, I caused the water to come back and cover them, and the Egyptian soldiers all drowned, as your ancestors watched and were amazed. But after that, you lived in the desert for many years.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
