In context

⁶Meanwhile, Shechem’s father Hamor came to speak with Jacob.

⁷When 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.

⁸But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.

⁹Intermarry with us; give us your daughters and take our daughters for yourselves.

¹⁰You may settle among us, and the land will be open to you. Live here, move about freely, and acquire your own property.”
