complete verse (Numbers 3:4)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 3:4:

  • Kupsabiny: “but God killed Nadab and Abihu because they did for him sacrifices which were not good in the wilderness of Sinai. Those people had no children. So, Eleazar and Ithamar became priests in those days, and their father Aaron was in charge.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Nadab and Abihu, however, died in the wilderness of Sinai when they offered unauthorized fire to the LORD. Since they also had no sons, only Eleazar and Ithamar were alive to serve as priests while their father Aaron was alive.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “But Nadab and Abihu died in the presence of the LORD when they used the fire that they are- not -supposed to use as their offering to the LORD there in the desolate-place of Sinai. They died without children, therefore Eleazar and Itamar (are) the- only -ones-who served as priests when Aaron was still alive.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “But, while Yahweh was watching, Nadab and Abihu died in the Sinai Desert because they burned incense in a manner that was different from what Yahweh had commanded. They had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar were the only sons of Aaron who were left to be priests, along with their father Aaron.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
