“Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.”
Make the price for the bride and the gift I am to bring as great as you like, and I'll pay whatever you ask me. Only give me the young woman as my wife. The unlimited offer — whatever you ask — reveals that Shechem wants Dinah more than he is troubled by what he did to her. The application: the willingness to pay any price is not remorse; it is acquisition.
