← Genesis 34:7	Genesis 34:8 (KJV)	Genesis 34:9 →
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.
