So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, “Get me this girl for my wife.”
Then he came up and told his father and mother, “I saw one of the daughters of the Philistines at Timnah. Now get her for me as my wife.”
As for me, where could I carry my shame? And as for you, you would be as one of the outrageous fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king, for he will not withhold me from you.”
He lived in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
