3. Then his heart longed for Jacob's daughter Dinah. He fell in love with her and spoke tenderly to her.
4. Shechem said to his father Hamor, "Get me that woman. I want her to be my wife."
5. Jacob heard that his daughter Dinah had been made "unclean." His sons were in the fields with his livestock. So he kept quiet about it until they came home.
6. Then Shechem's father Hamor went out to talk with Jacob.
7. Jacob's sons had come in from the fields. They came as soon as they heard what had happened. They were filled with sadness and anger. Shechem had done a very terrible thing. He had forced Jacob's daughter to have sex with him. He had done something that should never be done in Israel.
