# carried away my daughters like prisoners of war
# carried away my daughters like captives of the sword
Laban speaks about Jacob taking his family with him back to the land of Canaan as if Jacob took them as prisoners after a battle and is forcing them to go with him. Laban is exaggerating because he is angry and is trying to make Jacob feel guilty for what he did. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-hyperbole]])

# Every male was circumcised
# All who went out to the gates of his city
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "So Hamor and Shechem had someone circumcise all the men" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
This refers to men old enough to gather at the city gates to discuss community affairs. The word "his" probably refers to Hamor, who was the king.
# All males were circumcised
The meaning of this statement is clarified, not contradicted, by the words "all who went out to the gates." If a literal translation would be misunderstood, you can specify that this refers only to adult males. It can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "All adult males were circumcised" or "So Hamor and Shechem had someone circumcise all the adult men" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
