English Standard Version
Genesis 34:4-10
4So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, "Get me this girl for my wife."
5Now Jacob heard that he had defiled his daughter Dinah. But his sons were with his livestock in the field, so Jacob held his peace until they came.
6And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.
7The sons of Jacob had come in from the field as soon as they heard of it, and the men were indignant and very angry, because he had done an outrageous thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, for such a thing must not be done.
8But Hamor spoke with them, saying, "The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him to be his wife.
9Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10You shall dwell with us, and the land shall be open to you. Dwell and trade in it, and get property in it."
