And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
Genesis 34:9 belongs to the account of the events at Shechem. That account ended in Dinah's sorrow. In that episode Simeon and Levi used deception against the people of Shechem.
They then carried out violence and slaughter, destroying the people with cruel, revengeful violence. Jacob later condemned their fierce anger and cruelty. Nothing further is given to explain the marriage proposal in the verse itself.
