NETBible

You can make the bride price and the gift I must bring very expensive, 1  and I’ll give 2  whatever you ask 3  of me. Just give me the young woman as my wife!”

NET Notes

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.

tn The cohortative expresses Shechem’s resolve to have Dinah as his wife.

tn Heb “say.”
