Genesis 34:6-17

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.”

11Shechem also said to Dinah’s father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your sight, and I will give you whatever you ask of me.

12Demand of me a very large bridal payment and gift [as compensation for giving up your daughter and sister], and I will give you whatever you tell me; only give me the girl to be my wife.”

13Jacob’s sons answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, because Shechem had defiled and disgraced their sister Dinah.

14They said to them, “We cannot do this thing and give our sister [in marriage] to one who is not circumcised, because that would be a disgrace to us.

15But we will consent to you only on this condition: if you will become like us, in that every male among you consents to be circumcised,

16then we will give our daughters to you [in marriage], and we will take your daughters for ourselves, and we will live with you and become one people.

17But if you do not listen to us and refuse to be circumcised, then we will take our daughter [Dinah] and go.”
