וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר חֲמ֖וֹר אִתָּ֣ם לֵאמֹ֑ר
and=he/it_spoke Ḩₐmōr with=them to=say
Alternate translation: “But Hamor pleaded with Jacob and his sons and said,” or “But Hamor begged Jacob and his sons,”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
בְּבִתְּכֶ֔ם
in/on/at/with,daughter,your_all's
The pronoun your is plural here, which shows that Hamor is addressing not only Jacob but also his sons. Alternate translation: “My son Shechem has fallen completely in love with your daughter and sister.”
תְּנ֨וּ נָ֥א אֹתָ֛הּ ל֖וֹ לְאִשָּֽׁה
give now DOM=her/it to=him/it to/for=(a)_woman
The way give and “take” are used in verses 8, 9, 12, 16 and 21 reflects the culture at that time, when parents or families arranged marriages for their daughters. Also see the note about this at verse 4. Alternate translation: “So please permit him to marry her.”
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 Greek words that they’re translated from.
