8. Hamor talked with them, saying, “The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
9. Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10. You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it.”
11. Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you will tell me I will give.
12. Ask me a great amount for a dowry, and I will give whatever you ask of me, but give me the young lady as a wife.”
13. The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
14. and said to them, “We can’t do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us.
15. Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;
16. then will we give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
