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 they will agree to live with us as one people only on one condition. All of our males must be circumcised, just as they are.

23 "Won't their livestock and their property belong to us? Won't all of their animals become ours? So let's say yes to them. Then they'll settle among us."

24 All of the men who went out through the city gate agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem. So every male in the city was circumcised.

25 Three days later, all of them were still in pain. Then Simeon and Levi took their swords. They were Jacob's sons and Dinah's brothers. They attacked the city when the people didn't expect it. They killed every male.

26 They also killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords. Then they took Dinah from Shechem's house and left.
