1. And Dinah, the daughter of Leah, which she gave birth unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
2. And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her and lay with her and defiled her.
3. And his soul was joined unto Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he fell in love with the damsel and spoke unto her heart.
4. And Shechem spoke unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.
5. And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; now his sons were with his cattle in the field, and Jacob remained silent until they were come.
6. And Hamor, the father of Shechem, went out unto Jacob to speak with him.
7. And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter, a thing which ought not to be done.
8. And Hamor spoke with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem is joined to your daughter; I pray you give her to him as wife.
9. And make ye marriages with us and give your daughters unto us and take our daughters unto you.
10. And ye shall dwell with us, and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein and take you possessions therein.
11. And Shechem also said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.
12. Ask me for as much dowry and gift as ye desire, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me; but give me the damsel to wife.
13. And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully and talked 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 among us that is a reproach.
