Genesis 34:4-10

4And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel for a wife. 5And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they had come.

6And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him. 7And the sons of Jacob came from the field when they heard it : and the men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter; which thing ought not to be done. 8And Hamor spoke with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her to him for a wife. 9And make ye marriages with us, give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you. 10And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye in it, and get you possessions in it.
