3. Then his heart longed for Jacob's daughter Dinah. He fell in love with her and spoke tenderly to her.
4. Shechem said to his father Hamor, "Get me that woman. I want her to be my wife."
5. Jacob heard that his daughter Dinah had been made "unclean." His sons were in the fields with his livestock. So he kept quiet about it until they came home.
6. Then Shechem's father Hamor went out to talk with Jacob.
7. Jacob's sons had come in from the fields. They came as soon as they heard what had happened. They were filled with sadness and anger. Shechem had done a very terrible thing. He had forced Jacob's daughter to have sex with him. He had done something that should never be done in Israel.
8. But Hamor said to them, "My son Shechem wants your daughter. Please give her to him to be his wife.
9. "Let your people and ours get married to each other. Give us your daughters as our wives. You can have our daughters as your wives.
10. You can settle among us. Here is the land. Live in it. Trade in it. Buy property in it."
11. Then Shechem spoke to Dinah's father and brothers. He said, "I want to please you. I'll give you anything you ask.
12. Make the price for the bride as high as you want to. I'll pay anything you ask me. Just give me the woman. I want to get married to her."
13. Their sister Dinah had been made "unclean." So Jacob's sons lied to Shechem and his father Hamor.
14. They said to them, "We can't do it. We can't give our sister to a man who isn't circumcised. That would bring shame on us.
15. We'll agree, but only on one condition. You will have to become like us. You will have to circumcise all of your males.
16. "Then we'll give you our daughters as your wives. And we'll take your daughters as our wives. We'll settle among you and become one people with you.
