| NET Notes |
1 tn Heb “Make very great upon me the bride price and gift.” The imperatives are used in a rhetorical manner. Shechem’s point is that he will pay the price, no matter how expensive it might be. 2 tn The cohortative expresses Shechem’s resolve to have Dinah as his wife. 3 tn Heb “say.” |
