Genesis 34:19

And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house of his father.

KJV

nec distulit adolescens quin statim quod petebatur expleret : amabat enim puellam valde, et ipse erat inclytus in omni domo patris sui.

Vulgate

καὶ οὐκ ἐχρόνισεν ὁ νεανίσκος τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο· ἐνέκειτο γὰρ τῇ θυγατρὶ Ἰακώβ· αὐτὸς δὲ ἦν ἐνδοξότατος πάντων τῶν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ.

LXX

And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter: and he was honored above all the house of his father.
