GEN 34:2–24, engwebp
²Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her.
³His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.
⁴Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, “Get me this young lady as a wife.”
⁵Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob held his peace until they came.
⁶Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to talk with him.
⁷The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. The men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had done folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter, a thing that ought not to be done.
⁸Hamor talked with them, saying, “The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
⁹Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
¹⁰You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it.”
¹¹Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you will tell me I will give.
¹²Ask me a great amount for a dowry, and I will give whatever you ask of me, but give me the young lady as a wife.”
¹³The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit when they spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
¹⁴and said to them, “We can’t do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us.
¹⁵Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised,
¹⁶then will we give our daughters to you; and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
¹⁷But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our sister, and we will be gone.”
¹⁸Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.
¹⁹The young man didn’t wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter, and he was honored above all the house of his father.
²⁰Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying,
²¹“These men are peaceful with us. Therefore let them live in the land and trade in it. For behold, the land is large enough for them. Let’s take their daughters to us for wives, and let’s give them our daughters.
²²Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people, if every male among us is circumcised, as they are circumcised.
²³Won’t their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let’s give our consent to them, and they will dwell with us.”
²⁴All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor, and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
