6¶ And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.

13And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:
14And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us:

16Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
