Genesis 34:6-19
6And HamorH2544 the fatherH1 of ShechemH7927 cameH3318 out to JacobH3290, to speakH1696 to him.
7And the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 cameH935 from the fieldsH7704 when they heardH8085 [it]; and the menH376 were grieved, and they were veryH3966 angryH2734, because he had wrought what was disgracefulH5039 in IsraelH3478, in lyingH7901 with Jacob's daughterH1323, which thing ought not to be done.
8And HamorH2544 spokeH1696 to them, sayingH559, My sonH1121 Shechem's soulH5315 cleaves to your daughterH1323: I pray you, giveH5414 her to him as wifeH802.
9And makeH5414 marriages with us: giveH5414 your daughtersH1323 to us, and takeH3947 our daughtersH1323 to you.
10And dwellH3427 with us, and the landH776 shall beH1961 before you: dwellH3427 and trade in it, and get yourselves possessionsH270 in it.
11And ShechemH7927 saidH559 to her fatherH1 and to her brethren, Let me findH4672 favour in your eyesH5869; and what ye shall sayH559 to me I will giveH5414.
12Impose on me veryH3966 muchH7235 as dowry and giftH4976, and I will giveH5414 according as ye shall sayH559 to me; but giveH5414 me the maiden as wifeH802.
13And the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 answeredH6030 ShechemH7927 and HamorH2544 his fatherH1 deceitfully, and spokeH1696 — because he had defiledH2930 DinahH1783 their sisterH269 —
14and saidH559 to them, We cannot do this, to giveH5414 our sisterH269 to oneH376 that is uncircumcised; for that [were] a reproachH2781 to us.
15But onlyH389 in this will we consent to you, if ye will beH1961 as we, that every maleH2145 of you beH1961 circumcisedH4135;
16then will we giveH5414 our daughtersH1323 to you, and takeH3947 your daughtersH1323 to us, and we will dwellH3427 with you, and beH1961 oneH259 peopleH5971.
17But if ye do not hearken to us, to be circumcisedH4135, then will we takeH3947 our daughterH1323 and goH1980 away.
18And their wordsH1697 were goodH3190 in the eyesH5869 of HamorH2544 and ShechemH7927, Hamor's sonH1121.
19And the youthH5288 did not delayH309 to do this, because he had delightH2654 in Jacob's daughterH1323. And he was honourable above all in the houseH1004 of his fatherH1.
