Genesis 34:7-12 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

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.

12. Ask me ever so much bridal payment and gift, and I will give according as you say to me; but give me the girl in marriage."
