Genesis 34:6-17
6And HamorH2544 the fatherH1 of ShechemH7927 wentH3318 out unto JacobH3290 to commune with him. 7And the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 cameH935 in from the fieldH7704 when they heardH8085 it: and the menH376 were grieved, and they were veryH3966 wroth, because he had wrought follyH5039 in IsraelH3478 in lyingH7901 with Jacob’s daughterH1323; which thing ought not to be done. 8And HamorH2544 communed with them, sayingH559, The soulH5315 of my sonH1121 ShechemH7927 longeth for your daughterH1323: I pray you, giveH5414 her unto him to wifeH802. 9And makeH5414 ye marriages with us; giveH5414 your daughtersH1323 unto us, and takeH3947 our daughtersH1323 unto you. 10And ye shall dwellH3427 with us: and the landH776 shall beH1961 before you; dwellH3427 and trade ye therein, and get you possessionsH270 therein. 11And ShechemH7927 saidH559 unto her fatherH1 and unto her brethren, Let me findH4672 favorH2580 in your eyesH5869, and what ye shall sayH559 unto me I will giveH5414. 12Ask me never so muchH7235 dowry and giftH4976, and I will giveH5414 according as ye shall sayH559 unto me: but giveH5414 me the damsel to wifeH802. 13And the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 answeredH6030 ShechemH7927 and HamorH2544 his fatherH1 with guile, and spake, because he had defiledH2930 DinahH1783 their sisterH269, 14and saidH559 unto them, We cannot do this thingH1697, to giveH5414 our sisterH269 to oneH376 that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproachH2781 unto us. 15OnlyH389 on this condition will we consent unto you: if ye will beH1961 as we areH1961, that every maleH2145 of you beH1961 circumcisedH4135; 16then will we giveH5414 our daughtersH1323 unto you, and we will takeH3947 your daughtersH1323 to us, and we will dwellH3427 with you, and we will becomeH1961 oneH259 peopleH5971. 17But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcisedH4135; then will we takeH3947 our daughterH1323, and we will be goneH1980.
