Bereshis 34:7-9
Orthodox Jewish Bible
7 And the Bnei Ya’akov came from the sadeh when they heard it; and the anashim were grieved, and they were in wrath greatly, because he had wrought nevalah (folly, disgrace, outrage) against Yisroel in lying with Bat Ya’akov; which thing ought not to be done.
8 And Chamor spoke with them, saying, The nefesh of beni (my son) Shechem longeth for your bat; now give her him as isha.
9 So intermarry with us, and give your banot unto us, and take benoteinu (our banot) unto you.
