Genesis 34:6 In-Context

4 et pergens ad Emor patrem suum accipe mihi inquit puellam hanc coniugem

5 quod cum audisset Iacob absentibus filiis et in pastu occupatis pecorum siluit donec redirent

6 egresso autem Emor patre Sychem ut loqueretur ad Iacob

7 ecce filii eius veniebant de agro auditoque quod acciderat irati sunt valde eo quod foedam rem esset operatus in Israhel et violata filia Iacob rem inlicitam perpetrasset

8 locutus est itaque Emor ad eos Sychem filii mei adhesit anima filiae vestrae date eam illi uxorem
