Genesis 34:8 In-Context

6 And Hamor, father of Shechem, went out to Jacob to speak with him.
7 And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard [it]. And the men were distressed and very angry because he had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by having sexual relations with the daughter of Jacob--{something that} should not be done.
8 And Hamor spoke with them saying, "Shechem my son {is in love with} your daughter. Please give her to him for a wife.
9 Make marriages with us. Give us your daughters and take our daughters for yourselves.
10 You shall dwell with us and the land shall be before you; settle and trade in it, and acquire [property] in it."
