NETBible

Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought ruin¹ on me by making me a foul odor² among the inhabitants of the land – among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I³ am few in number; they will join forces against me and attack me, and both I and my family will be destroyed!”

NET Notes

¹tn The traditional translation is “troubled me” (KJV, ASV), but the verb refers to personal or national disaster and suggests complete ruin (see Josh 7:25, Judg 11:35, Prov 11:17). The remainder of the verse describes the “trouble” Simeon and Levi had caused.

²tn In the causative stem the Hebrew verb בָּאַשׁ (ba’ash) means “to cause to stink, to have a foul smell.” In the contexts in which it is used it describes foul smells, stenches, or things that are odious. Jacob senses that the people in the land will find this act terribly repulsive. See P. R. Ackroyd, “The Hebrew Root באשׁ,” JTS 2 (1951): 31-36.

³tn Jacob speaks in the first person as the head and representative of the entire family.
