Tafsiran Kejadian 34:30: Rashi, Rashbam, Sforno & Or HaChaim

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יַעֲקֹ֜ב אֶל־שִׁמְע֣וֹן וְאֶל־לֵוִי֮ עֲכַרְתֶּ֣ם אֹתִי֒ לְהַבְאִישֵׁ֙נִי֙ בְּיֹשֵׁ֣ב הָאָ֔רֶץ בַּֽכְּנַעֲנִ֖י וּבַפְּרִזִּ֑י וַאֲנִי֙ מְתֵ֣י מִסְפָּ֔ר וְנֶאֶסְפ֤וּ עָלַי֙ וְהִכּ֔וּנִי וְנִשְׁמַדְתִּ֖י אֲנִ֥י וּבֵיתִֽי׃

Lalu Yakub berkata kepada Simeon dan Lewi: “Kalian telah mencelakakan aku dengan membuat namaku busuk di antara penduduk negeri ini, yaitu orang Kanaan dan orang Feris. Sedangkan aku ini sedikit jumlahnya. Mereka akan berkumpul melawan aku dan menyerang aku, lalu aku akan dibinasakan, aku beserta seisi rumahku.”

Rashi

עכרתם YE HAVE TROUBLED ME — This has the same meaning as (Berakhot 25b) “troubled (עכורים) waters” (i.e. waters that are disturbed, not clear). He meant “Now my mind will never be clear (without worry)”. There is an Agada, (Genesis Rabbah 80:12) “He said: the wine in the cask was clear but you have troubled it”. The Canaanites had a tradition that they would fall by the hands of the sons of Jacob, but they thought that this would happen only when the condition was fulfilled as expressed in the verse (Exodus 23:30) “when thou shalt in-crease, then shalt thou inherit the land”; consequently they had been silent until now (i.e. they had not attacked them).

Rashbam

להבאישני, to ruin our reputation. We have the same word used in a similar sense in Exodus 5,21 הבאשתם את ריחנו, where the overseers of the Jewish people accuse Moses and Aaron after the failure of their first audience with Pharaoh which had resulted in an increased workload, that they had ruined the reputation of the people as diligent workers.

להבאישני, the local population would accuse us of having gone back on our agreement after the people of Shechem had circumcised themselves.
