complete verse (Numbers 6:11)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 6:11:

  • Kupsabiny: “The priest shall take one of those birds to make it a sacrifice that sweeps away sin, and the other one he shall use for a sacrifice that is burned completely so as to make that person clean since he has touched a corpse. At that time/point that person shall start to let his hair grow” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Because of the guilt incurred by being in the presence of the person who died, the priest must offer one [offering as a] purification offering and one offering as a burnt offering to make atonement for him. That day he must consecrate his own head.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “The one (offering) is to-be-offered by the priest as offering for becoming-clean and the other as a burnt offering. In this way the person will-be-forgiven from his sin that he had-touched a corpse. On that very day, he will-dedicate again himself and he will-let- his hair -grow.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “‘he priest must kill the birds and offer them as sacrifices. One of them will be an offering to enable me to forgive you for the sins you have committed, and the other will be an offering that is burned completely to please me. After the priest burns them on the altar, I will forgive you for having come close to a corpse, and when your hair grows again it will be dedicated to me again.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
