  • Hiligaynon: “Then I commanded the Levites to-have- themselves -cleansed and guard the entrance/gates so-that the people will-consider a unique day the Day For-Resting.
    Then I prayed, ‘O my God, also remember this that I did, and have-mercy on me according to your (sing.) great love.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
