Amplified Bible
Genesis 34:4-10
4So Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Get me this young woman as a wife.”
5Now Jacob heard that Shechem had defiled (violated) Dinah his daughter; but his sons were in the field with his livestock, so Jacob said nothing until they came in.
6But Shechem’s father Hamor went to Jacob to talk with him.
7Now when Jacob’s sons heard of it they came in from the field; they were deeply grieved, and they were very angry, for Shechem had done a disgraceful thing to Israel by lying with Jacob’s daughter, for such a thing is not to be done.
8But Hamor conferred with them, saying, “The soul of my son Shechem [deeply] longs for your daughter [and sister]. Please give her to him as his wife.
9And [beyond that] intermarry with us; give your daughters to us [as wives] and take our daughters for yourselves.
10In this way you shall live with us; the country will be open to you; live and do business in it and acquire property and possessions in it.”
