1. Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
2. And Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. And he took her and lay with her and raped her.
3. And his soul clung to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the girl and spoke tenderly to the girl.
4. So Shechem said to Hamor his father, saying, “Get this girl for me as a wife.”
5. And Jacob heard that Dinah his daughter had been defiled, but his sons were with his flocks in the field. And Jacob kept silent until they came.
6. And Hamor, father of Shechem, went out to Jacob to speak with him.
7. And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. And the men were distressed and very angry because he had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by having sexual relations with the daughter of Jacob—something that should not be done.
8. And Hamor spoke with them saying, “Shechem my son is in love with your daughter. Please give her to him for a wife.
9. Make marriages with us. Give us your daughters and take our daughters for yourselves.
10. You shall dwell with us and the land shall be before you; settle and trade in it, and acquire property in it.”
11. Then Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I will do.
12. Make the bride price and gift as high as you like; I will give what you say to me. But give me the girl as a wife.”
13. Then the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father Hamor speaking deceitfully, because he had defiled Dinah their sister.
14. And they said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised, for that is a disgrace for us.
