GE-34:1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto
Jacob, went out
to see the daughters of the land.
GE-34:2 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of
the country,
saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.
GE-34:3 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob,
and he loved the
damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
GE-34:4 And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me
this damsel
to wife.
GE-34:5 And 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 were
come.
GE-34:6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to
commune with
him.
GE-34:7 And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they
heard [it]: and
the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had
wrought folly
in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; which thing ought not
to be done.
GE-34:8 And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my
son Shechem
longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife.
GE-34:9 And make ye marriages with us, [and] give your
daughters unto us, and
take our daughters unto you.
GE-34:10 And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be
before you; dwell
and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.
GE-34:11 And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren,
Let me find
grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.
GE-34:12 Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give
according as ye
shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.
GE-34:13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his
father
deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:
GE-34:14 And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to
give our sister
to one that is uncircumcised; for that [were] a reproach unto us:
GE-34:15 But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as
we [be], that
every male of you be circumcised;
GE-34:16 Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will
take your
daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become
one people.
GE-34:17 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised;
then will we
take our daughter, and we will be gone.
GE-34:18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
GE-34:19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing,
because he had
delight in Jacob's daughter: and he [was] more honourable than
all the house
of his father.
GE-34:20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of
their city, and
communed with the men of their city, saying,
GE-34:21 These men [are] peaceable with us; therefore let them
dwell in the
land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, [it is] large
enough for them;
let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give
them our
daughters.
GE-34:22 Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell
with us, to be
one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they [are]
circumcised.
