Genesis 34:4-10
4“Get me this girl as a wife,” he told his father.
5Jacob heard that Shechem had defiled his daughter Dinah, but since his sons were with his livestock in the field, he remained silent until they returned.
6Meanwhile, Shechem’s father Hamor came to speak with Jacob.
7Jacob’s sons returned from the field when they heard about the incident. They were deeply grieved and very angry, for Shechem had committed an outrage against Israel by raping Jacob’s daughter, and such a thing should not be done.
8Hamor said to Jacob’s sons, “My son Shechem has his heart set on your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
9Intermarry with us; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10Live with us. The land is before you. Settle here, move about, and acquire property in it.”
