Genesis 34:5-9 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

5. Jacob learned how Shechem had disgraced his daughter. But Jacob’s sons were out in the field with the cattle. So Jacob said nothing until they came home.

6. And Hamor father of Shechem went to talk with Jacob.

7. When Jacob’s sons heard what had happened, they came in from the field. They were very angry, because Shechem had done such a wicked thing to Israel. It was wrong for him to have raped Jacob’s daughter. A thing like this should not be done.

8. But Hamor talked to the brothers of Dinah. He said, “My son Shechem is deeply in love with Dinah. Please let him marry her.

9. Marry our people. Give your women to our men as wives. And take our women for your men as wives.
