Genesis 34:19-21

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁹ Shechem's family respected him as an important person. So Shechem and his father quickly did what Jacob's sons told them. Shechem agreed to do it because he wanted very much to marry Dinah. ²⁰ So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of the city. They spoke to their men there. ²¹ They said, ‘Jacob's family are our friends. Let them live in our land, and buy and sell things. This land is big enough for them and us. We can marry their daughters, and they can marry our daughters.
