Genesis 34:7 in Context — Genesis 34
5 Jacob apprit qu’il avait déshonoré Dina, sa fille; et, comme ses fils étaient aux champs avec son troupeau, Jacob garda le silence jusqu’à leur retour.
6 Hamor, père de Sichem, se rendit auprès de Jacob pour lui parler.
7 Et les fils de Jacob revenaient des champs, lorsqu’ils apprirent la chose; ces hommes furent irrités et se mirent dans une grande colère, parce que Sichem avait commis une infamie en Israël, en couchant avec la fille de Jacob, ce qui n’aurait pas dû se faire.
8 Hamor leur adressa ainsi la parole: Le cœur de Sichem, mon fils, s’est attaché à votre fille; donnez-la-lui pour femme, je vous prie.
9 Alliez-vous avec nous; vous nous donnerez vos filles, et vous prendrez pour vous les nôtres.
