OET (OET-LV) And_give DOM daughters_our to/for_you_all and_DOM daughters_your_all’s we_will_take to/for_us and_live with_you_all and_become as_people one.
OET (OET-RV) Then we’d give our daughters to you to marry, and we’d take your daughters for us to marry. And we’d settle among you, and we all would become one united people.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
וְנָתַ֤נּוּ אֶת בְּנֹתֵ֨ינוּ֙ לָכֶ֔ם וְאֶת בְּנֹתֵיכֶ֖ם נִֽקַּֽח לָ֑נוּ
and,give DOM daughters,our to/for=you_all and=DOM daughters,your_all's take to/for=us
The pronouns “we,” “our,” and us are exclusive in verses 14-17 except for the last we in verse 16. Also see how you translated “give … daughters … take … daughters …” in verse 9. Alternate translation: “Then we will let our daughters marry your young men, and our young men will marry your daughters.” or “After you do that, then we will allow your young men to marry our daughters, and we will allow your daughters to marry our young men.”
וְיָשַׁ֣בְנוּ אִתְּכֶ֔ם
and,live with,you_all
See how you translated settle with in verse 10. Alternate translation: “We will also settle among you in this land,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
וְהָיִ֖ינוּ לְעַ֥ם אֶחָֽד
and,become as,people one(ms)
Here the we is inclusive because Jacob’s sons are including Shechem and Hamor’s people. If you have an inclusive form of this pronoun in your language, you could use it here. Alternate translation: “and as a result we will all be one ethnic group.”
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.
