Genesis 34:4-10

4And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Take me this girl as wife.

5And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; but his sons were with his cattle in the fields, and Jacob said nothing until they came.

6And Hamor the father of Shechem came out to Jacob, to speak to him.

7And the sons of Jacob came from the fields when they heard [it]; and the men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had wrought what was disgraceful in Israel, in lying with Jacob's daughter, which thing ought not to be done.

8And Hamor spoke to them, saying, My son Shechem's soul cleaves to your daughter: I pray you, give her to him as wife.

9And make marriages with us: give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you.

10And dwell with us, and the land shall be before you: dwell and trade in it, and get yourselves possessions in it.
