Following are a number of back-translations of Hebrews 6:16:

• Uma: “If for example people/mankind swears, he usually swears naming what is greater than he. His swearing/oath strengthens his words so that no one any longer contradicts/answers-against [him].” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “The custom of mankind is when they swear, they utter the name of God because God is greater than anything/all things. So-then all their opposing-each-other is fixed/settled.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “If there is a promise of just an ordinary person, the thing he uses to strengthen this promise is, he calls upon God who is greater than he is, because he wants Him to witness to his promise. And if this is what he does in a legal case, those who listen to his promise will believe what he says.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “If a person wants to make-known to his companions that what he is saying is true, he swears by someone higher/greater than himself. Because if he does that, that’s the end of their argument.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “As for people, when they confirm (lit. cause-to-be-sturdy) what they are saying, they make a vow in the name of one who is higher/more-important than they, and, well, because they have now vowed, that’s the end of the discussion.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “When people say that it is true what they are saying, they call upon God to be their witness. When a person has called on God to be his witness, then his friend with whom he is talking cannot say that it is not true in what he said. But God promised a word to Abraham and since no one is greater than God, therefore he used his own name, telling Abraham it is God’s own word that which was said. He said to him: ‘It is true what I say to you, overflowingly I will bless you. I will cause that very much will increase your children,’ he said. But Abraham did not get anxious concerning the word God spoke. Rather he waited, waited until there came the day when it happened according to the word God promised would happen.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)

Following are a number of back-translations of Hebrews 7:28:

• Uma: “People who are/become Big Priests according to the Law of Musa are people who are weak, for they are just ordinary man[kind]. But after the Law of Musa, God uttered words of an oath, and with the words of that oath of his, he appointed [lit., lifted] his own Child to be Big Priest. And that Child of his became a Redeemer that has no lack and who remains forever.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “The law of God that was given to Musa in old times said as to who could become high priest and the ones commissioned to be priests were humans having faults. But after that, God commissioned his Son, Isa and he added an oath. His Son has no fault/blemish and he is priest forever.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “Those who were made high priests by means of the Law left behind by Moses, there was always something to rebuke them for. But a long time after that, the Son of God became a priest because God chose Him and because of the promise of God which replaced the former Law. And as for this Jesus, the son of God, there was nothing to rebuke Him for. He became a priest whose priesthood is forever.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “Because according to the law of Moses, those who are appointed highest priests, they are people who have faults. But according to what God swore which came-after the law, the one who was appointed, it was his Child who became a priest who has no faults/lack forever.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
• Tagbanwa: “According to the laws of Moises, from among the people is the choosing place of each Most-important Priest, even though they are sinful for they are indeed men/human. But when a long time had passed from the giving of the laws to Moises, God made a vow, that his Son Jesus is whom he appointed to be Most-important Priest. Because Jesus followed/obeyed without any lack all that God had determined for the saving of people. Therefore he is the Most-important Priest who is standing up for us perfectly for ever. 7:17 Psalm 110:4. 7:21 Psalm 110:4.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
• Tenango Otomi: “The law which Moses wrote appoints to be the high priest one of the people who have sin. After this law was given, however, God himself became witness to the word he said, appointing his Son to be high priest forever. And there is not a bit lacking in him, he does good forever that work.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)

After that, he also took hisop grass/plants that were tied-in-a-bundle with red sheep fur, he dipped it in the blood, and he sprinkled it on the Book of the Law of the Lord and on the people/crowd.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
• Yakan: “It was like this. At first Musa informed the people of all of God’s commandments in the law. After that he fetched the blood of (a) cow and the blood of (a) goat and mixed it with water, and then he sprinkled that on the holy-book in which was written God’s law and he also sprinkled all the people. For sprinkling he used a branch of the plant called hisup and sheep’s wool dyed red.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
• Western Bukidnon Manobo: “And because of this, when Moses first taught to all of the people all that God wanted them to fulfill in the Law, he got some blood of some young cows which he had been sacrificed and he mixed it water.

And he sprinkled with that the book where the Law was written and he sprinkled also all the people.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
• Kankanaey: “Because what Moses did back then, he told all the commands of the law to the collective-people. Then he got-some-of the blood of butchered calves (lit. offspring of cows) and diluted it with water. He also got sheep’s hair that was colored red and wrapped it around a small-branch of hisopo. After that he dipped it in the blood and sprinkled it on the rolled-up paper on which was written the law and on the collective-people.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)

• Tenango Otomi: “Moses, after telling the people all the words commanded by the law, took up a stick of hyssop on which was some red wool. There where there was some blood of cows and of goats in which was placed water, there was dipped the stick. Then the blood was sprinkled by him on the Book of the Law. And he also put the blood on all the people.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
