Genesis 34
English: King James Version
4 And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.
6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.
9 And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
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 that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us: 15 But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, 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.
18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying, 21 These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
28 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field, 29 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.
31 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
