NETBible

Judah said, “Let her keep the things 1  for herself. Otherwise we will appear to be dishonest. 2  I did indeed send this young goat, but you couldn’t find her.”

NET Notes

tn The words “the things” have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

tn Heb “we will become contemptible.” The Hebrew word בּוּז (buz) describes the contempt that a respectable person would have for someone who is worthless, foolish, or disreputable.
