Genesis 34:4-10
4So ShechemH7927 1spokeH559 to his fatherH1 HamorH2544, sayingH559, “GetH3947 me thisH2088 youngH3207 girlH3207 for a wifeH802.” 5Now JacobH3290 heardH8085 that he had defiledH2930 DinahH1783 his daughterH1323; but his sonsH1121 were with his livestockH4735 in the fieldH7704, so JacobH3290 keptH2790 silentH2790 untilH5704 they cameH935 in. 6Then HamorH2544 the fatherH1 of ShechemH7927 wentH3318 out to JacobH3290 to speakH1696 with him. 7Now the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 cameH935 in from the fieldH7704 when they heardH8085 it; and the menH376 were grievedH6087, and they were veryH3966 angryH2734 becauseH3588 he had doneH6213 a 23disgracefulH5039 thingH5039 in IsraelH3478 4by lyingH7901 with Jacob’sH3290 daughterH1323, for suchH3651 a thingH3651 ought not to be doneH6213.
8But HamorH2544 spokeH1696 with them, sayingH559, “The soulH5315 of my sonH1121 ShechemH7927 longsH2836 for your daughterH1323; pleaseH4994 giveH5414 her to him 5in marriageH802. 9IntermarryH2859 with us; giveH5414 your daughtersH1323 to us and takeH3947 our daughtersH1323 for yourselves. 10Thus you shall 6liveH3427 with us, and 7the landH776 shall be open beforeH6440 you; 8liveH3427 and 9tradeH5503 in it and 10acquireH270 propertyH270 in it.”
