9 Why don't you start letting your families marry into our families and ours marry into yours?
10 You can share this land with us. Move freely about until you find the property you want; then buy it and settle down here.
11 Shechem added, “Do this favour for me, and I'll give whatever you want.
12 Ask anything, no matter how expensive. I'll do anything, just let me marry Dinah.”
13 Jacob's sons wanted to get even with Shechem and his father because of what had happened to their sister.
14 So they tricked them by saying:You're not circumcised! It would be a disgrace for us to let you marry Dinah now.
15 But we will let you marry her, if you and the other men in your tribe get circumcised.
