Ge 17:11; Jos 5:2-9; 1Sa 14:6; 1Sa 17:26,36; 2Sa 1:20; 2Sa 15:7; 1Ki 21:9; Mt 2:8,13; Mt 23:1-39; Ro 4:11

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.
