Genesis 34:19-21

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁹ The young man did not delay doing this, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter. Now he was the most important in all his father’s house. ²⁰ So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city^(A) and spoke to the men there.

²¹ “These men are peaceful toward us,” they said. “Let them live in our land and move about in it, for indeed, the region is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters as our wives and give our daughters to them.
