complete verse (Numbers 35:28)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 35:28:

  • Kupsabiny: “The person who has killed (somebody) as a mistake must stay in the city he has fled to until the big priest has died. When that has happened, the person who made the mistake may return to his land/home area.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “He ought to have stayed in the cities to give refuge until the high priest died. Only after the high priest has died will he be able to go back to the land of his permanent possession.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Therefore the one-who-has-killed should surely remain/stay in the town of refuge until the leading priest died, and after-that he now can-go-home to them/their-place where he lives).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “The killer must stay in that city where he will be safe/protected until the Supreme Priest dies. He will be safe from revenge after that, because the death of the Supreme Priest will be considered to be a sacrifice to atone for that murder. After that, the killer may return to his home.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
