Bible verse
Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “Grant me this favor, and I will give you whatever you ask.
Genesis 34:11 · BSB
The verses around it, from Genesis 34.
7 When 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.
8 But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.
9 Intermarry with us; give us your daughters, and take our daughters for yourselves.
10 You may settle among us, and the land will be open to you. Live here, move about freely, and acquire your own property.”
11 Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “Grant me this favor, and I will give you whatever you ask.
12 Demand a high dowry and an expensive gift, and I will give you whatever you ask. Only give me the girl as my wife!”
13 But because Shechem had defiled their sister Dinah, Jacob’s sons answered him and his father Hamor deceitfully.
14 “We cannot do such a thing,” they said. “To give our sister to an uncircumcised man would be a disgrace to us.
15 We will consent to this on one condition, that you become circumcised like us—every one of your males.
