Samaria ist dein große Schwester mit ihren Töchtern, die dir zur Linken wohnt; und Sodom ist deine kleine Schwester mit ihren Töchtern, die dir zur Rechten wohnt;

Tu hermana mayor es Samaria, que habita con sus hijas a tu izquierda; tu hermana menor es Sodoma, que habita con sus hijas a tu derecha.
Ta grande soeur, qui demeure à ta gauche, c'est Samarie avec ses filles; et ta petite soeur, qui demeure à ta droite, c'est Sodome avec ses filles.
Or la tua sorella maggiore è Samaria, con le sue terre, la quale è posta alla tua man sinistra; e la tua sorella minore, che è posta alla tua destra, è Sodoma, con le sue terra.
E tua irmã, a maior, é Samaria, ela e suas filhas, a qual habita à tua esquerda; e a tua irmã menor, que habita à tua mão direita, é Sodoma e suas filhas.
