King James Version with Apocrypha
"And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house of his father."
— Genesis 34:19, King James Version with Apocrypha
“And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house of his father.”
“And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter: and he was honored above all the house of his father. ”
“The young man didn't wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter, and he was honored above all the house of his father.”
“The young man did not delay in doing what they asked because he wanted Jacob’s daughter Dinah badly.(Now he was more important than anyone in his father’s household.)”
“And the young man made no delay, but forthwith fulfilled what was required: for he loved the damsel exceedingly, and he was the greatest man in all his father's house.”
“And without loss of time the young man did as they said, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter, and he was the noblest of his father's house.”
Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor’s son.
And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house of his father.
And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
