Genesis 34:8 in Context — Genesis 34
6 E dirigiu-se Hamor pai de Siquém a Jacó, para falar com ele.
7 E os filhos de Jacó vieram do campo quando o souberam; e se entristeceram os homens, e se irritaram muito, porque fez depravação em Israel por ter se deitado com a filha de Jacó, o que não se devia haver feito.
8 E Hamor falou com eles, dizendo: A alma de meu filho Siquém se apegou à vossa filha; rogo-vos que a deis por mulher.
9 E aparentai-vos conosco; dai-nos vossas filhas, e tomai vós as nossas.
10 E habitai conosco; porque a terra estará diante de vós; morai e negociai nela, e tomai nela possessão.
