Genesis 34:6-11 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

6. Then Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.

7. Now the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved, and they were very angry because he had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, for such a thing ought not to be done.

8. But Hamor spoke with them, saying, "The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter; please give her to him in marriage.

9. Intermarry with us; give your daughters to us and take our daughters for yourselves.

10. Thus you shall live with us, and the land shall be open before you; live and trade in it and acquire property in it."

11. Shechem also said to her father and to her brothers, "If I find favor in your sight, then I will give whatever you say to me.
