Genesis 34:6-17

6Meanwhile, Shechem’sH7927H413 fatherH1 HamorH2544 cameH3318 to speakH1696 withH854 JacobH3290. 7When Jacob’sH3290 sonsH1121 heard what had happenedH8085, they returnedH935 fromH4480 the fieldH7704. They were filled withH3966 griefH6087H582 and furyH2734, becauseH3588 Shechem had committedH6213 an outrageH5039 in IsraelH34781 by lyingH7901 withH853 Jacob’sH3290 daughterH1323—a thingH3651 that should notH3808 be doneH6213.

8But HamorH2544 saidH1696 to themH854H559, “My sonH1121 ShechemH7927 longs forH2836H5315 your daughterH1323. PleaseH4994 giveH5414 herH853 to him as his wifeH802. 9Intermarry with usH2859H854; giveH5414 us your daughtersH1323 and takeH3947 our daughtersH1323 for yourselves. 10You may settleH3427 among usH854, and the landH776 will beH1961 open to youH6440. Live hereH3427, move about freelyH5503, and acquire your own propertyH270.”

11Then ShechemH7927 saidH559 toH413 Dinah’s fatherH1H413 and brothersH251, “Grant me this favorH4672H2580H5869, and I will giveH5414 you whateverH834 you askH559H413. 12DemandH7235 a highH5921H3966 dowryH4119 and an expensive giftH4976, and I will give youH5414 whateverH834 you askH559H413. Only giveH5414 me the girlH5291 as my wifeH802!”

13But becauseH834 Shechem had defiledH2930 their sisterH269 DinahH1783, Jacob’sH3290 sonsH1121 answeredH6030 him and his fatherH1 HamorH2544 deceitfullyH4820H1696. 14“We cannotH3808H3201 doH6213 suchH2088 a thingH1697,” they saidH559. “To giveH5414 our sisterH269H376 to an uncircumcised manH6190H3588 would be a disgraceH2781H1931 to us. 15We will consentH225 to this on oneH389H2063 conditionH518, that you becomeH1961 circumcisedH4135 like usH3644—every one ofH3605 your malesH2145. 16Then we will giveH5414 you our daughtersH1323 andH853 takeH3947 your daughtersH1323 for ourselves. We will dwellH3427 among youH854 and becomeH1961 oneH259 peopleH5971. 17But ifH518 you will notH3808 agreeH8085H413 to be circumcisedH4135, then we will takeH3947 our sisterH1323 and goH1980.”
