nkjv Genesis:34:1-19
nkjv@Genesis:34:1 @ Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
nkjv@Genesis:34:2 @ And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her and lay with her, and violated her.
nkjv@Genesis:34:3 @ His soul was strongly attracted to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young woman and spoke kindly to the young woman.
nkjv@Genesis:34:4 @ So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, "Get me this young woman as a wife."
nkjv@Genesis:34:5 @ And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter. Now his sons were with his livestock in the field; so Jacob held his peace until they came.
nkjv@Genesis:34:6 @ Then Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.
nkjv@Genesis:34:7 @ And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved and very angry, because he had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, a thing which ought not to be done.
nkjv@Genesis:34:8 @ But Hamor spoke with them, saying, "The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.
nkjv@Genesis:34:9 @ And make marriages with us; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to yourselves.
nkjv@Genesis:34:10 @ So you shall dwell with us, and the land shall be before you. Dwell and trade in it, and acquire possessions for yourselves in it."
nkjv@Genesis:34:11 @ Then Shechem said to her father and her brothers, "Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I will give.
nkjv@Genesis:34:12 @ Ask me ever so much dowry and gift, and I will give according to what you say to me; but give me the young woman as a wife."
nkjv@Genesis:34:13 @ But the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father, and spoke deceitfully, because he had defiled Dinah their sister.
nkjv@Genesis:34:14 @ And they said to them, "We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a reproach to us.
nkjv@Genesis:34:15 @ But on this condition we will consent to you: If you will become as we are, if every male of you is circumcised,
nkjv@Genesis:34:16 @ then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us; and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
nkjv@Genesis:34:17 @ But if you will not heed us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and be gone."
nkjv@Genesis:34:18 @ And their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.
nkjv@Genesis:34:19 @ So the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he delighted in Jacob's daughter. He was more honorable than all the household of his father.
