Dinah
And Dinah, the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. And when Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, leader of the country, saw her, he took her and slept with her and brought her low. And his soul clung to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young woman and spoke kindly to her. And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor: Get me this young woman as a wife. And Jacob heard that Shechem had defiled Dinah his daughter. His sons were with his cattle in the field, so Jacob held his peace until they came. And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to talk with him. And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it. And the men were grieved and very angry, because he'd done a stupid thing in Israel by sleeping with Jacob's daughter, which shouldn't be done. And Hamor talked with them: My son Shechem has his heart set on your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife. And make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you. And you'll live with us, and the land will be in front of you. Live and trade in it and get possessions in it. And Shechem said to her father and brothers: Please look kindly on me. Whatever you ask, I'll give. Ask me ever so much bride price and gift, and I'll give what you say to me. Only give me the young woman as a wife.
And Dinah, the daughter of Leah, that she'd had to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. And when Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, leader of the country, saw her, he took her and lay with her and brought her low. And his soul clung to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young woman and spoke kindly to her. And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor: Get me this young woman as a wife. And Jacob heard that he'd made Dinah his daughter unclean. Now his sons were with his cattle in the field. And Jacob held his peace till they came. And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to talk with him. And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it. And the men were grieved and very angry, because he'd done a stupid thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, which shouldn't be done. And Hamor talked with them: The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter. Give her to him as a wife, please. And make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you. And you'll live with us, and the land will be in front of you. Live and trade in it and get possessions in it. And Shechem said to her father and to her brothers: Let me find favour in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I'll give. Ask me ever so much bride price and gift, and I'll give what you say to me. Only give me the young woman as a wife.
And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her. And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel. And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife. And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come. And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him. And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter; which thing ought not to be done. And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife. And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you. And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein. And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give. Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.

The sons of Jacob answer with cheating
And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with cheating, because he'd made Dinah their sister unclean. And they said to them: We can't do this thing, to give our sister to a man who isn't circumcised. Because that'd be a shame to us. But we'll agree to you in this: if you'll be like us, that every male of you is circumcised. Then we'll give our daughters to you and take your daughters to us. And we'll live with you and turn into one people. But if you won't listen to us and be circumcised, then we'll take our daughter and go. And their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son. And the young man didn't wait to do the thing, because he took delight in Jacob's daughter. And he was more honoured than all the house of his father. And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their town and talked with the men of their town: These men are at peace with us. So let them live in the land and trade in it. Because the land — look, it's wide enough for them. Let's take their daughters as wives, and let's give them our daughters. Only on this condition will the men agree to live with us and become one people: every male among us must be circumcised, just as they are circumcised. Won't their cattle and what they've got and all their animals be ours? Only let's agree to them, and they'll live with us. And everyone who went out of the gate of his town listened to Hamor and to Shechem his son. And every male was circumcised, everyone who went out of the gate of his town.

But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone. And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor’s son.

And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.
