Genesis 34:3 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

He spake kindly unto the damsel Desiring not only to comfort her after the ignominy he had brought upon her, but to conciliate her mind, and get her consent to marry him, that he might thereby repair, as far as possible, the injury he had done her. So that, though his behaviour had been very sinful in the first action; yet in the sequel it was honest and noble, and such as may fill with confusion of face too many who, with the utmost baseness, act a very different part.

Genesis 34:3

3 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindlya unto the damsel.
