Caption: Kaiwá Bible translator Salvador Sanches (left) and Brazilian translation advisor Cristiano Barros (right) work together in their translation office. Salvador drafts the translation alone and then he and Cristiano check it and continue to work on it together. Cristiano helps Salvador understand the context of ancient Israel for the Old Testament text they are working on. Here Cristiano shows Salvador an image of Solomon's temple on the computer. Cristiano has also constructed a model of the temple using his childrens' toys. The model helps Salvador to understand the dimensions and various rooms of the temple - the outer court, the inner court, etc. The Bible has many detailed descriptions of the temple and as always it is important to translate these as accurately as possible.
