complete verse (Joshua 6:24)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Joshua 6:24:

  • Kupsabiny: “The people of Israel burned that city destroying everything inside it. But they kept the silver, gold, utensils of bronze and iron in the treasury of the Tent of God.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Then they burned that city and everything that was in it. The utensils of gold, silver, bronze and iron, however, they put into the treasury of the LORD.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “They burned the entire city and all in it except the things made of silver, gold, bronze, and iron. They took them to be-placed in the-place-to-keep/treasury of the wealth/riches of the LORD.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “So those two spies/men went into Rahab’s house and brought her out. They also brought out her father and mother and her brothers, and all the rest of her family. Joshua’s men spared Rahab the prostitute. They also did not kill all her relatives, because she had hidden and protected the spies/men whom Joshua had sent to Jericho. The two men brought them all out and put them in a place outside the camp of the Israelis. Rahab still lives among us Israeli people. Then the soldiers gathered the articles made from silver, gold, bronze, and iron that they found and they put them all into Yahweh’s treasury. But they burned everything else that was in the city.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
