Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Leviticus 21:12:

• Kupsabiny: “He must not come out from where it is holy or defile that place in order to go to be involved in matters of mourning because he is anointed and set aside. I am God.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “He must not go out from the holy place and must not defiled holy place of his God. For God’s anointing oil has made him consecrated. I am the LORD.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “And because he has-been-offered to me as head priest by-means-of rubbing/(anointing) oil upon him, he should- not -leave the Meeting-together-place Tent to participate in the burial, for if he does this the Tent will-become-dirty/unclean. I am-the-one (who is) the LORD.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “He must not leave the Sacred Tent to join those who are mourning, because he would cause himself to become unfit for his work and would also defile/desecrate the Sacred Tent. He must not leave the Sacred Tent at that time, because by being anointed with olive oil he has been appointed/set apart to serve his God in the Sacred Tent. I, Yahweh, am the one who am commanding this.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
