Genesis 34:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing because he loved Jacob’s daughter: he was also the [a]most set by of all his father’s house.
20 ¶ Then Hamor and Shechem his Son went unto the [b]gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
21 These men are [c]peaceable with us: and that they may dwell in the land, and do their affairs therein (for behold, the land hath room enough for them) let us take their daughters to wives, and give them our daughters.
