8 But Hamor talked to Dinah’s brothers and said, “My son Shechem is deeply in love with Dinah. Please let him marry her.
9 Marry our people. Give your women to our men as wives and take our women for your men as wives.
10 You can live in the same land with us. You will be free to own land and to trade here.”
11 Shechem also talked to Jacob and to Dinah’s brothers and said, “Please accept my offer. I will give anything you ask.
12 Ask as much as you want for the payment for the bride, and I will give it to you. Just let me marry Dinah.”
13 Jacob’s sons answered Shechem and his father with lies, because Shechem had disgraced their sister Dinah.
14 The brothers said to them, “We cannot allow you to marry our sister, because you are not circumcised. That would be a disgrace to us.
