Genesis 34:5-12

5Jacob heard that Shechem had dishonored his daughter Dinah. His sons were with his livestock out in the open country, so Jacob kept quiet until they came home.

6So Shechem’s father Hamor came to Jacob to speak with him.

7Jacob’s sons came in from the open country as soon as they heard the news. The men felt outraged and very angry because Shechem had committed such a godless act against Israel’s family by raping Jacob’s daughter. This shouldn’t have happened.

8Hamor told them. “My son Shechem has his heart set on your daughter. Please let her marry him.

9Intermarry with us; give your daughters to us, and take ours for yourselves.

10You can live with us, and the land will be yours. Live here, move about freely in this area, and acquire property here.”

11Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and her brothers, “Do me this favor. I’ll give you whatever you ask.

12Set the price I must pay for the bride and the gift I must give her as high as you want. I’ll pay exactly what you tell me. Give me the girl as my wife.”
