Genesis 34:8-12 English Standard Version (ESV)

8. But Hamor spoke with them, saying, “The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him to be his wife.

9. Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.

10. You shall dwell with us, and the land shall be open to you. Dwell and trade in it, and get property in it.”

11. Shechem 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.

12. Ask 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.”
