Shechem's Desperate Offer
Commentators observe that Shechem's offer to Dinah's family was exceptionally generous and earnest. After his father spoke, Shechem personally pleaded, saying, "what ye shall say unto me I will give." Scholars like Gill and Barnes note this shows his deep desire to make amends for his terrible crime and his genuine affection for Dinah, offering any price to secure her as his wife.
