Genesis 26:10

Context

26:10 Then Abimelech exclaimed, “What in the world have you done to us? 1  One of the men 2  might easily have had sexual relations with 3  your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us!”

1 tn Heb “What is this you have done to us?” The Hebrew demonstrative pronoun “this” adds emphasis: “What in the world have you done to us?” (R. J. Williams, Hebrew Syntax, 24, §118).

2 tn Heb “people.”

3 tn The Hebrew verb means “to lie down.” Here the expression “lie with” or “sleep with” is euphemistic for “have sexual relations with.”
