Genesis 34:8-13 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

8. But Hamor said to them, "My son Shechem wants your daughter. Please give her to him to be his wife.

9. "Let your people and ours get married to each other. Give us your daughters as our wives. You can have our daughters as your wives.

10. You can settle among us. Here is the land. Live in it. Trade in it. Buy property in it."

11. Then Shechem spoke to Dinah's father and brothers. He said, "I want to please you. I'll give you anything you ask.

12. Make the price for the bride as high as you want to. I'll pay anything you ask me. Just give me the woman. I want to get married to her."

13. Their sister Dinah had been made "unclean." So Jacob's sons lied to Shechem and his father Hamor.
