New King James Version

Genesis 34:8-13 New King James Version (NKJV)

8. But Hamor spoke with them, saying, “The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.

9. And make marriages with us; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to yourselves.

10. So you shall dwell with us, and the land shall be before you. Dwell and trade in it, and acquire possessions for yourselves in it.”

11. Then Shechem said to her father and her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I will give.

12. Ask me ever so much dowry and gift, and I will give according to what you say to me; but give me the young woman as a wife.”

13. But the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father, and spoke deceitfully, because he had defiled Dinah their sister.
