Genesis 34:6-19

6Then HamorH2544 the fatherH1 of ShechemH7927 wentH3318 outH3318 to JacobH3290 to speakH1696 with him. 7Now the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 cameH935 inH935 from the fieldH7704 when they heardH8085 about it; and the menH376 were grievedH6087, and they wereH2734 veryH3966 angryH2734 becauseH3588 he had doneH6213 a 12disgracefulH5039 thingH5039 in IsraelH3478 by 3sleepingH7901 with Jacob’sH3290 daughterH1323, for suchH3651 aH3651 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 4in marriageH802. 9And intermarryH2859 with us; giveH5414 your daughtersH1323 to us and takeH3947 our daughtersH1323 for yourselves. 10So you will liveH3427 with us, and 5the landH776 shall be 6openH6440 to you; liveH3427 and 7tradeH5503 in it and 8acquireH270 propertyH270 in it.” 11ShechemH7927 also saidH559 to her fatherH1 and to her brothersH251, “Let me findH4672 favorH2580 in your sightH5869, and I will giveH5414 whateverH834 you tellH559 me. 12DemandH7235 of me ever soH3966 muchH7235H3966 bridalH4119 paymentH4119 and giftH4976, and I will giveH5414 whatever you tellH559 me; but giveH5414 me the girlH5291 9in marriageH802.”

13But Jacob’sH3290 sonsH1121 answeredH6030H1696 ShechemH7927 and his fatherH1 HamorH2544 with deceitH4820, becauseH834 he had defiledH2930 their sisterH269 DinahH1783. 14They saidH559 to them, “We cannotH3201H3808 doH6213 thisH2088 thingH1697, that is, giveH5414 our sisterH269 to a 10manH376 whoH834 is uncircumcisedH6190, for that would be a disgraceH2781 to us. 15OnlyH389 on thisH2088 condition will we consentH225 to you: ifH518 you will becomeH1961 likeH3644 us, in that everyH3605 maleH2145 of you will be circumcisedH4135, 16then we will giveH5414 our daughtersH1323 to you, and we will takeH3947 your daughtersH1323 for ourselves, and we will liveH3427 with you and becomeH1961 oneH259 peopleH5971. 17But ifH518 you do not listenH8085 to us to be circumcisedH4135, then we will takeH3947 our daughterH1323 and goH1980.”

18Now their wordsH1697 seemedH3190 11reasonableH3190 to HamorH2544 and ShechemH7927, Hamor’sH2544 sonH1121. 19The youngH5288 manH5288 did not delayH309 to doH6213 12thisH1697, becauseH3588 he was delightedH2654 with Jacob’sH3290 daughterH1323. Now he was moreH4480 respectedH3513 thanH4480 allH3605 the householdH1004 of his fatherH1.
