Genesis 34:1-17 (Third Millennium Bible)
1
And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she bore unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
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.
3
And his soul cleaved unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel and spoke kindly unto the damsel.
4
And Shechem spoke unto his father Hamor, saying, "Get me this damsel for a wife."
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 had come.
6
And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.
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 by lying with Jacob's daughter, which thing ought not to be done.
8
And Hamor communed with them, saying, "The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter. I pray you give her to him for a wife;
9
and make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
10
And ye shall dwell with us, and the land shall be before you. Dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein."
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.
12
Ask me ever so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me; but give me the damsel for a wife."
13
And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said -- because he had defiled Dinah their sister"
14
and they said unto them, "We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a reproach unto us.
15
But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised,
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.
17
But if ye will not hearken unto us to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter and we will be gone."
