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.”
11. Then Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I will do.
12. Make the bride price and gift as high as you like; I will give what you say to me. But give me the girl as a wife.”
13. Then the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father Hamor speaking deceitfully, because he had defiled Dinah their sister.
14. And they said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised, for that is a disgrace for us.
15. Only on this condition will we give consent to you; if you will become like us—every male among you to be circumcised.
16. Then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take for ourselves your daughters, and we will live with you and become one family.
17. But if you will not listen to us, to be circumcised, then we will take our daughters and we will go.”
18. And their words were good in the eyes of Hamor and in the eyes of Shechem, the son of Hamor.
19. And the young man did not delay to do the thing, for he wanted the daughter of Jacob. Now he was the most honored of his father’s house.
