And going on to Hamor, his father, he said, “Obtain this girl for me as a mate.”
But when Jacob had heard this, since his sons were absent and he was occupied in pasturing the cattle, he remained silent until they came back.
Then, when Hamor, the father of Shechem, had gone out to speak to Jacob,
behold, his sons arrived from the field. And hearing what had happened, they were very angry, because he had done a filthy thing in Israel and, in violating a daughter of Jacob, had perpetrated an unlawful act.
And so Hamor spoke to them: “The soul of my son Shechem has become attached to your daughter. Give her to him as a wife.
And let us celebrate marriages with one with another. Give us your daughters, and receive our daughters.
And live with us. The land is in your power: cultivate, trade, and possess it.”
