Genesis 34:6-19
6And HamorH2544 the fatherH1 of ShechemH7927 went outH3318 to JacobH3290 to speakH1696 withH854 him. 7And the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 cameH935 from the fieldH7704 when they heardH8085 it : and the menH582 were grievedH6087, and they were veryH3966 angryH2734, because he had wroughtH6213 follyH5039 in IsraelH3478 in lyingH7901 with Jacob’sH3290 daughterH1323; which thing ought not to be doneH6213. 8And HamorH2544 spokeH1696 with them, sayingH559, The soulH5315 of my sonH1121 ShechemH7927 longethH2836 for your daughterH1323: I pray you giveH5414 her to him for a wifeH802. 9And make ye marriagesH2859 with us, giveH5414 your daughtersH1323 to us, and takeH3947 our daughtersH1323 to you. 10And ye shall dwellH3427 with us: and the landH776 shall beH1961 before youH6440; dwellH3427 and tradeH5503 ye in it, and get you possessionsH270 in it. 11And ShechemH7927 saidH559 to her fatherH1 and to her brethrenH251, Let me findH4672 favourH2580 in your eyesH5869, and what ye shall sayH559 to me I will giveH5414. 12AskH7235 me never so muchH3966 dowryH4119 and giftH4976, and I will giveH5414 according as ye shall sayH559 to me: but giveH5414 me the damselH5291 for a wifeH802. 13And the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 answeredH6030 ShechemH7927 and HamorH2544 his fatherH1 deceitfullyH4820, and saidH1696, because he had defiledH2930 DinahH1783 their sisterH269: 14And they saidH559 to them, We cannotH3808H3201 doH6213 this thingH1697, to giveH5414 our sisterH269 to oneH376 that is uncircumcisedH6190; for that would be a reproachH2781 to us: 15But in thisH2063 will we consentH225 to you: If ye will be as we are, that every maleH2145 of you shall be circumcisedH4135; 16Then will we giveH5414 our daughtersH1323 to you, and we will takeH3947 your daughtersH1323 to us, and we will dwellH3427 with you, and we will become oneH259 peopleH5971. 17But if ye will not hearkenH8085 to us, to be circumcisedH4135; then will we takeH3947 our daughterH1323, and we will be goneH1980.
18And their wordsH1697 pleasedH3190H5869 HamorH2544, and ShechemH7927 Hamor’sH2544 sonH1121. 19And the young manH5288 deferredH309 not to doH6213 the thingH1697, because he had delightH2654 in Jacob’sH3290 daughterH1323: and he was more honourableH3513 than all the houseH1004 of his fatherH1.
