Genesis 34:4-10

4And ShechemH7927 spakeH559 unto his fatherH1 HamorH2544, sayingH559, GetH3947 me this damselH3207 to wifeH802. 5And JacobH3290 heardH8085 that he had defiledH2930 DinahH1783 his daughterH1323: now his sonsH1121 were with his cattleH4735 in the fieldH7704: and JacobH3290 held his peaceH2790 until they were comeH935.

6And HamorH2544 the fatherH1 of ShechemH7927 went outH3318 unto JacobH3290 to communeH1696 withH854 him. 7And the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 cameH935 out of the fieldH7704 when they heardH8085 it: and the menH582 were grievedH6087, and they were veryH3966 wrothH2734, because he had wroughtH6213 follyH5039 in IsraelH3478 in lyingH7901 with Jacob’sH3290 daughterH1323; which thing ought not to be doneH6213. 8And HamorH2544 communedH1696 with them, sayingH559, The soulH5315 of my sonH1121 ShechemH7927 longethH2836 for your daughterH1323: I pray you giveH5414 her him to wifeH802. 9And make ye marriagesH2859 with us, and giveH5414 your daughtersH1323 unto us, and takeH3947 our daughtersH1323 unto you. 10And ye shall dwellH3427 with us: and the landH776 shall beH1961 before youH6440; dwellH3427 and tradeH5503 ye therein, and get you possessionsH270 therein.
