And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us:
Y les dijeron: 'No podemos hacer esto, dar nuestra hermana a un hombre que no está circuncidado. Eso nos traería deshonra.'
Los hermanos de Dina dijeron que no podían dar a su hermana en matrimonio a un hombre incircunciso porque eso los deshonraría.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative of Genesis 34, Jacob's daughter Dinah was violated by Shechem, a prince from a neighboring group, and he then sought to marry her as a way to make amends. Jacob's sons, particularly Simeon and Levi, refused the marriage proposal because Shechem and his people were uncircumcised, viewing this as a direct insult to their sacred covenant with God, which required circumcision as a sign of faithfulness. This event underscores the deep cultural and religious importance of the Abrahamic covenant among the Israelites, highlighting how it influenced their interactions with outsiders.
