So then Hamor spake with them saying - As for Shechem my son, his soul hath be-come attached to your daughter, - I pray you give her to him, to wife.

not because ye were more in number than any of the peoples, did Yahweh become attached to you and make choice of you, - for, ye, were fewer than any of the peoples;

Only unto thy fathers, Yahweh became attached so as to love them, - therefore made he choice of their seed after them - of you - out of all the peoples, (as at this day).
