make_~_high of,me very bride_price and,gift
The dowry was the payment that a groom (and his family) had to give to the bride’s family. It could include things like money, land, and livestock. The term gift probably refers to additional gifts given to the bride and her family members (as in Gen 24:53). If the custom of paying a dowry is not known in your culture, you could include an explanation in a footnote. Alternate translation: “Set the dowry and wedding gifts that I must pay to marry her as high as you want,”
וְאֶ֨תְּנָ֔ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר תֹּאמְר֖וּ אֵלָ֑י
and,give just=as say to,me
See how you translated a similar clause in verse 11. Alternate translation: “and I will give you whatever you ask from me.”
וּתְנוּ לִ֥י אֶת הַֽנַּעֲרָ֖ לְאִשָּֽׁה
and,give to=me DOM the,girl to/for=(a)_woman
See how you translated young woman in verse 3. Alternate translation: “Only please let me marry the young woman.”
34:1-31 Once Jacob and his family settled in the land, the Canaanite presence became a threat. This account is a stern warning to the Israelites about the possibility of their being defiled by the Canaanites. The nation of Israel was later commanded not to intermarry or make treaties with them, for they were a corrupt and corrupting people. This chapter implicitly warns against becoming familiar with the way they lived (34:1-2). It also taught Israel that in dealing with the Canaanites, they were to keep their integrity and not use the holy things of the covenant for deception and slaughter (34:13); Israel’s reputation was at stake in the land (34:30). For their ruthless violence, Simeon and Levi were passed over in the birthright blessing (49:5-7).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
