Genesis 34:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹ And the young man made no delay, but forthwith fulfilled what was required, for he loved the damsel exceedingly, and he was the greatest man in all his father's house.

²⁰ And going into the gate of the city they spoke to the people:

²¹ These men are peaceable and willing to dwell with us: let them trade in the land, and till it, which being large and wide wanteth men to till it: we shall take their daughters for wives, and we will give them ours.
