Genesis 34:8
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.
In context
6 Meanwhile, Shechem’s father Hamor came to speak with Jacob.
7 When Jacob’s sons heard what had happened, they returned from the field. They were filled with grief and fury, because Shechem had committed an outrage in Israel by lying with Jacob’s daughter—a thing that should not be done.
8 But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.
9 Intermarry with us; give us your daughters, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10 You may settle among us, and the land will be open to you. Live here, move about freely, and acquire your own property.”
