New International Version

Genesis 34:5-11 New International Version (NIV)

5. When Jacob heard that his daughter Dinah had been defiled, his sons were in the fields with his livestock; so he did nothing about it until they came home.

6. Then Shechem’s father Hamor went out to talk with Jacob.

7. Meanwhile, Jacob’s sons had come in from the fields as soon as they heard what had happened. They were shocked and furious, because Shechem had done an outrageous thing in Israel by sleeping with Jacob’s daughter—a thing that should not be done.

8. But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem has his heart set on your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.

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

10. You can settle among us; the land is open to you. Live in it, trade in it, and acquire property in it.”

11. Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and I will give you whatever you ask.
