Genesis 34:8

And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife.

Cross-references

In Genesis 34:3, the narrator already states Shechem's soul was drawn to Dinah — here his father Hamor echoes that same language, confirming what was already described.

Psalm 63:1 Parallel

In Psalm 63:1, David's soul thirsts for God — the same Hebrew 'soul longs' idiom, but directed at a very different object than Shechem's desire for Dinah.

Psalm 84:2 Parallel

In Psalm 84:2, the psalmist's soul longs for God's courts — same expression of deep desire, applied to spiritual longing rather than earthly passion.
