Exegesis
Successive negative clauses ve-lo heraʾenu {וְלֹא הֶרְאָנוּ | wə-lō he-rā-ʾê-nû} “and did not show us” and hishmiʾenu {הִשְׁמִיעָנוּ | hi-šmî-ʿā-nu} “cause us to hear” pivot on the demonstrative kazot {כָּזֹאת | kâ-zôt} “like this.” The Hebrew if–then–nor structure is retained to preserve logical progression.
In context — Judges 13:23
And his wife said to him, “If the LORD had desired to kill us, He would not have taken a burnt offering and a grain offering from our hand, nor would He have shown us all these things, nor at this time have caused us to hear such things.”
