complete verse (Numbers 27:4)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 27:4:

  • Kupsabiny: “So is the name of our father to become lost in our house/family just because he had no son? Give also to us land as an inheritance among the people of our house/family.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Why should our father’s name be eliminated from his clan [just] because he had no sons? Please also give us property along with our father’s relatives."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “So, his name will- just only -disappear/be-lost from the household of Israel because he had no male child? Give us (excl.) land like what our (excl.) blood-relatives had-received.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Why should the name of his clan disappear with the result that we do not receive any land only because our father had no sons?/It is not right that the name of his clan disappear with the result that we do not receive any land only because our father had no sons. So give us some land like our relatives will be getting!’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
