Genesis 34:7

And the builders of Heel have come in from the Field when they heard, and the Mortal-men are paining themselves,1063 and he burned1064 to them exceedingly, for he has made a withered-one1065 in El-Strives, to lie down אֶת-the built-one of Heel, and an upright one is not being made.1066

Footnote:

1066

Hebrew וְכֵ֖ן לֹ֥א יֵעָשֶֽׂה, and he is not being made. This is the literal. Interpreted as “such is not done.” Translators force the adverb ken כֵ֖ן (#3651 thus, so) to mean the same as this or that.
