“And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.”
Intermarry with us; give us your daughters and take our daughters for yourselves.

The application: the negotiation that begins with a specific wrong can be expanded to obscure that wrong in the context of broader benefit.
