Génesis 34:9 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 34:9

And make ye marriages with us
There was no objection on their side, it lay on the other; Abraham's servant was charged by him not to take a wife of the Canaanites to his son Isaac; and the same charge was given Jacob by Isaac, ( Genesis 24:3 ) ( 28:1 ) ; and therefore Jacob would never agree that his children should marry any of that nation; and marriages with them were afterwards forbidden by the law of Moses, ( Deuteronomy 7:3 ) ;

[and] give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you;
for though at present there were no other daughters in Jacob's family, yet there might be hereafter; and the request is, that for the future there might be intermarriages between them, as would be practicable in a course of time.

Génesis 34:9 In-Context

7 Y los hijos de Jacob regresaron del campo al oírlo. Y aquellos hombres se entristecieron y se irritaron en gran manera porque Siquem había cometido una infamia en Israel acostándose con la hija de Jacob, pues tal cosa no debe hacerse.
8 Pero Hamor habló con ellos, diciendo: El alma de mi hijo Siquem anhela a vuestra hija; os ruego que se la deis por mujer.
9 Enlazaos con nosotros en matrimonios; dadnos vuestras hijas y tomad las nuestras para vosotros.
10 Así moraréis con nosotros, y la tierra estará a vuestra disposición. Habitad y comerciad y adquirid propiedades en ella.
11 Dijo también Siquem al padre y a los hermanos de ella: Si hallo gracia ante vuestros ojos, os daré lo que me digáis.
