6Then Hamor, the father of Shechem, came out to have a talk with Jacob.
7Now the sons of Jacob came in from the fields when they had news of it, and they were wounded and very angry because of the shame he had done in Israel by having connection with Jacob's daughter; and they said, Such a thing is not to be done.
8But Hamor said to them, Shechem, my son, is full of desire for your daughter: will you then give her to him for a wife?
9And let our two peoples be joined together; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10Go on living with us, and the country will be open to you; do trade and get property there.
11And Shechem said to her father and her brothers, If you will give ear to my request, whatever you say I will give to you.
12However great you make the bride-price and payment, I will give it; only let me have the girl for my wife.
