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.

Genesis 34:11 In-Context

9 Marry our people. Give your women to our men as wives and take our women for your men as wives.
10 You can live in the same land with us. You will be free to own land and to trade here."
11 Shechem also talked to Jacob and to Dinah's brothers and said, "Please accept my offer. I will give anything you ask.
12 Ask as much as you want for the payment for the bride, and I will give it to you. Just let me marry Dinah."
13 Jacob's sons answered Shechem and his father with lies, because Shechem had disgraced their sister Dinah.
