Genesis 34:1-8 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

1. And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.

2. And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and humbled her.

3. And his soul fastened on Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the maiden, and spoke consolingly to the maiden.

4. And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Take me this girl as wife.

5. And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; but his sons were with his cattle in the fields, and Jacob said nothing until they came.

6. And Hamor the father of Shechem came out to Jacob, to speak to him.

7. And the sons of Jacob came from the fields when they heard it; and the men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had wrought what was disgraceful in Israel, in lying with Jacob's daughter, which thing ought not to be done.

8. And Hamor spoke to them, saying, My son Shechem's soul cleaves to your daughter: I pray you, give her to him as wife.
