Kommentar zu Bereschit 34:21
הָאֲנָשִׁ֨ים הָאֵ֜לֶּה שְֽׁלֵמִ֧ים הֵ֣ם אִתָּ֗נוּ וְיֵשְׁב֤וּ בָאָ֙רֶץ֙ וְיִסְחֲר֣וּ אֹתָ֔הּ וְהָאָ֛רֶץ הִנֵּ֥ה רַֽחֲבַת־יָדַ֖יִם לִפְנֵיהֶ֑ם אֶת־בְּנֹתָם֙ נִקַּֽח־לָ֣נוּ לְנָשִׁ֔ים וְאֶת־בְּנֹתֵ֖ינוּ נִתֵּ֥ן לָהֶֽם׃
Diese Leute sind friedlich gegen uns gesinnt; sie würden in dem Lande bleiben und darin umherziehen, und das Land hat ja Raum genug für sie; ihre Töchter würden wir uns zu Frauen nehmen und unsre Töchter ihnen geben.

Ramban on Genesis
THESE MEN ARE PEACEABLE WITH US. The men of the city thought that they hated them as they saw them dejected, and it angered them very much. Perhaps they guarded themselves against them and installed in their city bars and doors, for Jacob’s sons were mighty men and valiant men for the war.174Jeremiah 48:14. But now Hamor and his son Shechem told them, “Do not fear and do not keep distant from them for they are whole-hearted with us.”
