Genesis 34:19

The young man did not delay in doing what they asked ¹  because he wanted Jacob’s daughter Dinah ²  badly. (Now he was more important ³  than anyone in his father’s household.) ⁴ 

Ge 29:20; Ge 41:20; Nu 22:15; 1Sa 22:14; 2Ki 5:1; 1Ch 4:9; So 8:6; Isa 3:3-5; Isa 5:13; Isa 23:8,9; Isa 62:4; Ac 13:50; Ac 17:12

¹ tn Heb “doing the thing.”

² tn Heb “Jacob’s daughter.” The proper name “Dinah” is supplied in the translation for clarity.

³ tn The Hebrew verb כָּבֵד (kaved), translated “was…important,” has the primary meaning “to be heavy,” but here carries a secondary sense of “to be important” (that is, “heavy” in honor or respect).

⁴ tn The parenthetical disjunctive clause explains why the community would respond to him (see vv. 20-24).
