Genesis 34:9-19

9 Let us make an agreement that there will be intermarriage between our people and yours.
10 Then you may stay here in our country with us; you may live anywhere you wish, trade freely, and own property."
11 Then Shechem said to Dinah's father and brothers, "Do me this favor, and I will give you whatever you want.
12 Tell me what presents you want, and set the payment for the bride as high as you wish; I will give you whatever you ask, if you will only let me marry her."
13 Because Shechem had disgraced their sister Dinah, Jacob's sons answered Shechem and his father Hamor in a deceitful way.
14 They said to him, "We cannot let our sister marry a man who is not circumcised; that would be a disgrace for us.
15 We can agree only on the condition that you become like us by circumcising all your males.
16 Then we will agree to intermarriage. We will settle among you and become one people with you.
17 But if you will not accept our terms and be circumcised, we will take her and leave."
18 These terms seemed fair to Hamor and his son Shechem,
19 and the young man lost no time in doing what was suggested, because he was in love with Jacob's daughter. He was the most important member of his family.
