Gênesis 34:4 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 34:4

And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor
And told him the whole affair, at least what a strong affection he had for Dinah:

saying, get me this damsel to wife;
by which he meant not only that he would give his consent that he might marry her, but that he would get her parents' consent unto it, and settle the matter with them; by which it appears how early, and that even among Heathen nations, consent of parents on both sides was judged necessary to marriage. It seems by this as if Dinah was now detained in the house of Hamor or Shechem, and was upon the spot, or near at hand, when Shechem addressed his father about her, see ( Genesis 34:26 ) .

Gênesis 34:4 In-Context

2 Viu-a Siquém, filho de Hamor o heveu, príncipe da terra; e, tomando-a, deitou-se com ela e humilhou-a.

3 Assim se apegou a sua alma a Diná, filha de Jacó, e, amando a donzela, falou-lhe afetuosamente.

4 Então disse Siquém a Hamor seu pai: Consegue-me esta donzela por mulher.

5 Ora, Jacó ouviu que Siquém havia contaminado a Diná sua filha. Entretanto, estando seus filhos no campo com o gado, calou-se Jacó até que viessem.

6 Hamor, pai de Siquém, saiu a fim de falar com Jacó.
