34:12 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!”

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.”
