Raw Blame History

They said to them

"Jacob's sons said to Shechem and Hamor"

We cannot do this thing, to give our sister

"We cannot agree to give Dinah in marriage"

for that would be a disgrace to us

"for that would cause us shame." Here "us" refers to Jacob's sons and all the people of Israel. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-exclusive)

This means they will allow a person from Jacob's family to marry a person who lives in Hamor's land.
