Genesis 34:24 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 34:24

And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that
went out of the gate of his city
That is, all the inhabitants of the city who came to the gate of it, upon the summons given them, and departed from thence to their habitations, having a great opinion of their prince and his son; and moved either with awe of them or love to them, and influenced both by their arguments and example, they agreed to what was proposed to them: and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his
city;
all the men citizens; and not only the adult, and who now went out by the gate of the city, but all their male children likewise were circumcised.

Genesis 34:24 In-Context

22 But these men will agree to live among us and be one people with us only on the condition that we circumcise all our males, as they are circumcised.

23 Won't all their livestock and everything else they own be ours? So let us agree that they can live among us."

24 All the citizens of the city agreed with what Hamor and Shechem proposed, and all the males were circumcised.

25 Three days later, when the men were still sore from their circumcision, two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, the brothers of Dinah, took their swords, went into the city without arousing suspicion, and killed all the men,

26 including Hamor and his son Shechem. Then they took Dinah from Shechem's house and left.
