Génesis 34:3 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 34:3

And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob
His inclination was to her, she was always in his thoughts; it was not a mere lustful desire that was suddenly raised, and soon over, but a constant and continued affection he bore to her, as follows:

and he loved the damsel;
sincerely and heartily:

and spake kindly unto the damsel;
or "to the heart" ^F7 of her, such things as tended to comfort her, she being sad and sorrowful; or to soften her mind towards him, and take off the resentment of it to him, because of the injury he had done her, and to gain her good will and affection, and her consent to marry him; professing great love to her, promising her great things, what worldly grandeur and honour she would be advanced to, and how kindly he would behave towards her; which might take with her, and incline her to yield to his motion, which having obtained, he took the following method.

Génesis 34:3 In-Context

1 Venganza contra Siquem
Cierto día, Dina, la hija de Jacob y Lea, fue a visitar a unas jóvenes que vivían en la región.

2 Cuando el príncipe del lugar, Siquem, hijo de Hamor el heveo, vio a Dina, la tomó a la fuerza y la violó.

3 Sin embargo, luego se enamoró de ella e intentó ganarse su cariño con palabras tiernas.

4 Le dijo a su padre Hamor: «Consígueme a esta joven pues quiero casarme con ella».

5 Entonces Jacob se enteró de que Siquem había deshonrado a su hija Dina, pero como sus hijos estaban en el campo cuidando sus animales, él no dijo nada hasta que regresaron.
