Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Numbers 8:17:

• Kupsabiny: “So I have appointed them to replace all the firstborns of the Israelites and they shall be mine. When I killed all the firstborns in Egypt, I set aside the firstborns of Israel and the firstborn animals to be mine.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “All the first-born of the Israelites are mine, whether they be men or animals. I made them separated on the day I killed all the first-born Egyptians.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “For every first-born in Israel (is) mine, either a man or an animal. When I killed all the first-born of the Egiptohanon, I set-apart for myself all the first-born males in Israel.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “All the firstborn males in Israel, both the people and the animals, are mine. When I caused all the firstborn sons of the people of Egypt to die, I spared/did not kill the firstborn males of the Israelis. I set them apart to belong to me. I said that the firstborn males of all their domestic animals would also belong to me.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
