And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon all Israel.
Nahas el amonita les respondió: 'Haré un pacto de paz con ustedes solo bajo esta condición: les sacaré el ojo derecho a todos, y esto traerá vergüenza y deshonra sobre todo Israel.'
Nahas el amonita exigió condiciones humillantes para hacer la paz, buscando avergonzar a todo Israel.
📚 Contexto Histórico

In ancient warfare, removing the right eye was a common way to disable soldiers since they needed their right eye for aiming weapons while holding shields with their left arm. This act would have been seen as a permanent mark of defeat and subjugation.
