Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Chronicles 3:13:
- Kupsabiny: “He placed those cherubs standing together looking towards the Outer room. The wings of those cherubs had a length of thirty feet when they both met together, and one wing of each of those cherubs had a length of seven and a half feet. One of the wings of each of those cherubs touched the wall and the other wing touched the wing of the other cherub.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “A cherub’s wingspan is 9 meters. [Lit.: A cherub’s wings spread out to 9 meters.] They were standing on their feet. Their faces were looking inward.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “Each kerubin/cherubim has two wings, and each wing has a length of seven and a half feet. So the entire length of the spreading wings of the two cherubim is 30 feet. Their other wing(s) are-touching-each-other and their other wing(s) are-touching the wall(s).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “It was 30 feet from the outer wing of the one statue to the outer wing of the other statue. The statues faced the doorway to the main room.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
