Genesis 34:14

Context
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.

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.
