7 And when the sons of Jacob were come out of the field and heard it, it grieved the men, and they were very angry, because he had wrought [a]villany in Israel, in that he had lain with Jacob’s daughter: [b]which thing ought not to be done.
8 And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son: Shechem longeth for your daughter, [c]give her him to wife, I pray you.
9 So make affinity with us, give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
