Génesis 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 ) .

Génesis 34:4 In-Context

2 Y cuando la vio Siquem, hijo de Hamor heveo, príncipe de la tierra, se la llevó y se acostó con ella y la violó.

3 Y él se prendó de Dina, hija de Jacob, y amó a la joven y le habló tiernamente.

4 Entonces Siquem habló a su padre Hamor, diciendo: Consígueme a esta muchacha por mujer.

5 Y Jacob oyó que Siquem había deshonrado a su hija Dina, pero sus hijos estaban con el ganado en el campo, y Jacob guardó silencio hasta que ellos llegaran.

6 Entonces Hamor, padre de Siquem, salió a donde Jacob para hablar con él.
