complete verse (Numbers 6:20)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 6:20:

  • Kupsabiny: “The priest shall raise those things up in front of God. This is a gift which is presented to the priest together with the chest of the ram and the hind leg. Then the person who had dedicated self to God may again return to drinking wine.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Then the priest shall wave them up as a special offering before the LORD. These are the holy portion for the priest, with the breast of the special offering and the thigh of the holy offering that are waved up before the LORD. After this task is complete, the Nazirite will be able to drink grape wine.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Then the priest will-take- this -out and lift- (it) -up in the presence of the LORD as an offering of being-lifted. This part is a holy offering, and this now belongs to the priest, including the breast and the feet of the sheep which is-lifted also to the LORD. After this, the Nazirite can- now -drink wine.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “Then the priest will take them back and lift them up high to dedicate them to me. They now belong to the priest, and he is permitted to eat some of the meat from the ram’s shoulder and from its ribs and from one of its thighs, because that meat is his share of the sacrifice. After that, you will no longer be a Nazir-man, and you will again be permitted to drink wine.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
