Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 16:47:
- Kupsabiny: “Aaron did what Moses had said. He took that pan and ran until he reached the middle of those people. The plague had begun, and then he put those things that smell sweet in that pan that was burning and he made a ceremony by which those people were forgiven.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “So, as Moses had said, Aaron took the incense burner and went running among the assembled people. Since the plague had already come, [he] offered the incense and made atonement for the people.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “So Aaron obeyed what Moises has-commanded, and he ran into the midst of the community. The afflictions/evil/disasters have-started already among the people, but Aaron burned the incense so-that the people will-be-redeemed from their sins.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “So Aaron did what Moses/I told him. He took the burning incense out among the people. The plague had already started to strike the people, but Aaron continued to burn the incense so that God would forgive them for the sins they had committed.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
