Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it."
034:011 Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, "Let me find
favor in your eyes, and whatever you will tell me I will give.
034:012 Ask me a great amount for a dowry, and I will give whatever
you ask of me, but give me the young lady as a wife."
034:013 The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit,
and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
034:014 and said to them, "We can't do this thing, to give our sister
to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us.
034:015 Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will
be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;
034:016 then will we 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.
034:017 But if you will not listen to us, to be circumcised, then we
will take our sister,{Hebrew has, literally, "daughter"} and we
will be gone."
034:018 Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.
034:019 The young man didn't wait to do this thing, because he had delight
in Jacob's daughter, and he was honored above all the house
of his father.
034:020 Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city,
and talked with the men of their city, saying,
034:021 "These men are peaceful with us. Therefore let them live in the land
and trade in it. For behold, the land is large enough for them.
Let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give
them our daughters.
034:022 Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us,
to become one people, if every male among us is circumcised,
as they are circumcised.
