to ally by marriage, to intermarry; to become a son-in-law
Senses
1. to ally by marriage, to intermarry — The Hitpael denominative verb חתן used in a broader sense of forming marriage alliances between families, clans, or nations, i.e. intermarriage as a social-political act. Distinguished from the 'become son-in-law' sense by its reciprocal and communal scope rather than individual status acquisition. Used of Solomon's political marriage alliance with Pharaoh (1 Kgs 3:1), Jehoshaphat's alliance with Ahab (2 Chr 18:1), Hamor's proposal for intermarriage between Shechemites and Jacob's family (Gen 34:9), the Deuteronomic prohibition against intermarriage with Canaanites (Deut 7:3; Josh 23:12), and Ezra's condemnation of intermarriage (Ezra 9:14). Multilingual evidence: Arabic تَصاهَرُوا (intermarried), German verschwägert (allied by marriage), Korean 혼인하라/사돈이 되었다 (intermarry/became in-laws), Spanish emparentáis/emparentó (became related), Hindi वैवाहिक संबंध (marriage relationship). 6×
