Gênesis 34
1One day Dinah, the daughter Leah had given Jacob, went to visit some of the women in that country.
2Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite who was chieftain there, saw her and raped her.
3Then he felt a strong attraction to Dinah, Jacob''s daughter, fell in love with her and wooed her.
4Shechem went to his father Hamor, "Get me this girl for my wife."
5Jacob heard that Shechem had raped his daughter Dinah, but his sons were out in the fields with the livestock so he didn''t say anything until they got home.
6Hamor, Shechem''s father, went to Jacob to work out marriage arrangements.
7Meanwhile Jacob''s sons on their way back from the fields heard what had happened. They were outraged, explosive with anger. Shechem''s rape of Jacob''s daughter was intolerable in Israel and not to be put up with.
8Hamor spoke with Jacob and his sons, "My son Shechem is head over heels in love with your daughter--give her to him as his wife.
9Intermarry with us. Give your daughters to us and we''ll give our daughters to you.
10Live together with us as one family. Settle down among us and make yourselves at home. Prosper among us."
11Shechem then spoke for himself, addressing Dinah''s father and brothers: "Please, say yes. I''ll pay anything.
12Set the bridal price as high as you will--the sky''s the limit! Only give me this girl for my wife."
13Jacob''s sons answered Shechem and his father with cunning. Their sister, after all, had been raped.
14They said, "This is impossible. We could never give our sister to a man who was uncircumcised. Why, we''d be disgraced.
15The only condition on which we can talk business is if all your men become circumcised like us.
16Then we will freely exchange daughters in marriage and make ourselves at home among you and become one big, happy family.
17But if this is not an acceptable condition, we will take our sister and leave."
18That seemed fair enough to Hamor and his son Shechem.
19The young man was so smitten with Jacob''s daughter that he proceeded to do what had been asked. He was also the most admired son in his father''s family.
