Gen 34:2 When Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her, he took her and lay with her by force.
Gen 34:3 He was deeply attracted to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the girl and spoke tenderly to her.
Gen 34:4 So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, "Get me this young girl for a wife."
Gen 34:5 Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; but his sons were with his livestock in the field, so Jacob kept silent until they came in.
Gen 34:6 Then Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.
Gen 34:7 Now the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved, and they were very angry because he had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, for such a thing ought not to be done.
Gen 34:8 ¶ But Hamor spoke with them, saying, "The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter; please give her to him in marriage.
Gen 34:9 "Intermarry with us; give your daughters to us and take our daughters for yourselves.
Gen 34:10 "Thus you shall live with us, and the land shall be open before you; live and trade in it and acquire property in it."
Gen 34:11 Shechem also said to her father and to her brothers, "If I find favor in your sight, then I will give whatever you say to me.
Gen 34:12 "Ask me ever so much bridal payment and gift, and I will give according as you say to me; but give me the girl in marriage."
Gen 34:13 ¶ But Jacob's sons answered Shechem and his father Hamor with deceit, because he had defiled Dinah their sister.
Gen 34:14 They said to them, "We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a disgrace to us.
Gen 34:16 then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters for ourselves, and we will live with you and become one people.
Gen 34:17 "But if you will not listen to us to be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go."
Gen 34:18 ¶ Now their words seemed reasonable to Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.
Gen 34:19 The young man did not delay to do the thing, because he was delighted with Jacob's daughter. Now he was more respected than all the household of his father.
Gen 34:20 So Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
Gen 34:21 "These men are friendly with us; therefore let them live in the land and trade in it, for behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters in marriage, and give our daughters to them.
Gen 34:22 "Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people: that every male among us be circumcised as they are circumcised.
