Genesis 34:11 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 34:11

And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren
To the father and brethren of Dinah; he addressed them after his father Hamor had done speaking:

let me find grace in your eyes;
forgive the offence committed, the injury done to Dinah, and grant the request of her marriage, and it will be considered as a great favour:

and what ye shall say unto me, I will give;
to her, to her parents, to her brethren and relations; let what will be fixed, shall be given; which showed great affection for her, and that he was willing to do any thing to make amends for the injury done; he cared not what it was that might be demanded of him, so be it that she became his wife.
