• Newari: “Then the men of the tribe of Judah went with their brothers, the Simeonites. They defeated the Canaanites living in Zephath and totally destroyed the city. So, Homah became the name of that city.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Then the tribe of Simeon also was-helped by the tribe of Juda to put-under-(their)-jurisdiction the town of Zefat where the Canaanhon also lived. They totally destroyed this city, so this was-called Horma.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
