  • Kupsabiny: “After that, those people of the clan of Dan arranged where to place the idol. Then, they chose Jonathan who was a descendant of Gershom son of Moses to become priest. This house/family continued to be priests of the clan of Dan until when the people of that area were taken away to go to another country.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “The tribe of Dan set up those idols. Then, until the nation Israel was deported [lit.: taken away] Jonathan son of Gershom, son of Moses and his sons were priests of the tribe of Dan.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “They set-up there the little-god of Micas and they worshipped (it). Jonatan the child/(son) of Gershom and grandchild/(grandson) of Moises whom they made as a priest. The descendants of Jonatan were the ones-who-served as priests in the tribe of Dan until the captivity of those (who) come-from-Israel.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “The people of the tribe of Dan set up in the city the idols that had been made for Micah. Jonathan, who was the son of Gershom and the grandson of Moses, was appointed to be their priest. His descendants continued to be priests until the Israelis were captured and taken to Assyria.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
