10 You may live among us, and the land will be open to you. Live in it, conduct trade, and acquire property in it.”
11 Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you ask from me I will give. 12 No matter how great a bride price and gift[a] you demand, I will give it. Just give me the young woman as a wife.”
