(KJV.) GENESIS 34:16-22
The defiling of Dinah:
(16) Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
(17) But if ye will not harken unto us, to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
(18) And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
(19) And the young man deferred not to do the thing because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was more honorable than all the house of his father.
(20) And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying.
(21) These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
(22) Only herein will the men consent unto us, for; to dwell with us, to be one people; if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
ADDENDUM
Why did Hamor and Shechem his son, listened to the advice of Jacob's children?
