18 E pareceram bem seus palavras a Hamor e a Siquém, filho de Hamor.

19 E não tardou o jovem fazer aquilo, porque a filha de Jacó lhe havia agradado: e ele era o mais honrado de toda a casa de seu pai.

20 Então Hamor e Siquém seu filho vieram à porta de sua cidade, e falaram aos homens de sua cidade, dizendo:

21 Estes homens são pacíficos conosco, e habitarão nesta terra, e comercializarão nela; pois eis que a terra é bastante ampla para eles; nós tomaremos suas filhas por mulheres, e lhes daremos as nossas.
