complete verse (Numbers 18:7)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 18:7:

  • Kupsabiny: “But it is you and your children alone who shall do the work of burning sacrifices and the work relating to the Inner Room of my Tent. It is you (plur.) alone whom I have given to do the work of burning sacrifices. But any other person who does not come from the house of Levites comes near those things that are honored shall be killed.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “But only you and your sons can do the work of a priest at the altar and inside the Holy Tent. I have given you the work of the priest as a gift. If anyone else tries to do the work that you do, he must be killed off."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But you (sing.) alone and your (sing.) children can-serve as priests. You (plur.) alone can-do the are-to-be-done that has connection on the altar and the Most Holy Place. (It is) my gift to you (plur.) your (plur.) priesthood. Whoever will-do this who is not a priest will-be-killed.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “But it is you and your sons, who are the priests, who must perform all the rituals concerning the altar and with what happens inside the Very Holy Place. I am giving to you this work of serving as priests. So anyone else who tries to do that work must be executed.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
