Genesis 34:7-15
English Standard Version
8But Hamor spoke with them, saying, "The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him to be his wife.
9Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10You shall dwell with us, and the land shall be open to you. Dwell and trade in it, and get property in it."
11Shechem also said to her father and to her brothers, "Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I will give.
12Ask me for as great a bride-price and gift as you will, and I will give whatever you say to me. Only give me the young woman to be my wife."
13The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father Hamor deceitfully, because he had defiled their sister Dinah.
14They said to them, "We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a disgrace to us.
15Only on this condition will we agree with you — that you will become as we are by every male among you being circumcised.
