Genesis 34

¹And Dinah, daughter of Leah, whom she hath borne to Jacob, goeth out to look on the daughters of the land,

²and Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, a prince of the land, seeth her, and taketh her, and lieth with her, and humbleth her;

³and his soul cleaveth to Dinah, daughter of Jacob, and he loveth the young person, and speaketh unto the heart of the young person.

⁴And Shechem speaketh unto Hamor his father, saying, 'Take for me this damsel for a wife.'

⁵And Jacob hath heard that he hath defiled Dinah his daughter, and his sons were with his cattle in the field, and Jacob kept silent till their coming.

⁶And Hamor, father of Shechem, goeth out unto Jacob to speak with him;

⁷and the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard, and the men grieve themselves, and it [is] very displeasing to them, for folly he hath done against Israel, to lie with the daughter of Jacob — and so it is not done.

⁸And Hamor speaketh with them, saying, 'Shechem, my son, his soul hath cleaved to your daughter; give her, I pray you, to him for a wife,

⁹and join ye in marriage with us; your daughters ye give to us, and our daughters ye take to yourselves,

¹⁰and with us ye dwell, and the land is before you; dwell ye and trade [in] it, and have possessions in it.'

¹¹And Shechem saith unto her father, and unto her brethren, 'Let me find grace in your eyes, and that which ye say unto me, I give;

¹²multiply on me exceedingly dowry and gift, and I give as ye say unto me, and give to me the young person for a wife.'
