Genesis 34:8 in Context — Genesis 34
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.
10 Vous habiterez avec nous, et le pays sera à votre disposition; restez, pour y trafiquer et y acquérir des propriétés.
