  • Kankanaey: “When Abram came-to-know that his nephew Lot was among those captured (lit. had-been-captured-with), he called his long-time slaves who were skilled in warring so-that they would go pursue those who had run-off-with him. They all were three hundred and ten and eight. They pursued them until they caught-up-with them at Dan.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)

  • English: “One of the men who escaped from the battle told Abram what had happened and that his nephew Lot had been captured and taken away. So Abram summoned 318 men who were his servants, men who had been with Abram since they were born. They all went together and pursued their enemies as far north as Dan city.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
