Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 6:9:

  • Kupsabiny: “But if he has touched the corpse of a person who died unexpectedly and he thereby did a mistake, that person is unclean for seven days and then he is to be shaved.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “’If his head becomes unclean by the sudden death of some person in his presence [lit.: before him], after seven days he must cleanse himself by shaving his hair. ” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “‘If someone suddenly died beside him, and because of-this his hair which is the symbol of his dedication to the LORD was-defiled, he must wait for seven days, and then he shall-cause-to-shave his hair. The seventh day is the day of his becoming-clean.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “‘If anyone dies very suddenly when he is near you, then your hair that you have dedicated to me is no longer sacred. So you must wait seven days and then shave it all off. Then you must perform a special ritual to cause yourself to become acceptable to me again.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
