Genesis 34:14-15

34:14 They said to them, “We cannot give 1  our sister to a man who is not circumcised, for it would be a disgrace 2  to us. 34:15 We will give you our consent on this one condition: You must become 3  like us by circumcising 4  all your males.

1 tn Heb “we are not able to do this thing, to give.” The second infinitive is in apposition to the first, explaining what they are not able to do.

2 tn The Hebrew word translated “disgrace” usually means “ridicule; taunt; reproach.” It can also refer to the reason the condition of shame or disgrace causes ridicule or a reproach.

3 tn Heb “if you are like us.”

4 tn The infinitive here explains how they would become like them.
