Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 34:23

23 Shall not their cattel, and their substance, and every beast of theirs be ours ? onely let us consent unto them and they will dwell with us.

Either for our use and benefit in way of commerce and trade: or because they will descend to the issue of our children as well as theirs: or because we being more numerous and potent than they can easily over-rule them, and, when we think meet, dispose all things to our own advantage. Thus they cover their private design with the specious shew of publick good.
