1. And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
2. And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.
3. And his soul cleaved to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spoke kindly to the damsel.
4. And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel for a wife.
5. And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter (now his sons were with his cattle in the field:) and Jacob held his peace till they had come.
6. And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to commune with him.
7. And the sons of Jacob came from the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel, in lying with Jacob's daughter; which thing ought not to be done.
8. And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her to him for a wife.
9. And make ye marriages with us: give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you.
10. And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.
11. And Shechem said to her father, and to her brethren, Let me find favor in your eyes, and what ye shall say to me, I will give.
