1 Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. 2 Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her. 3 His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady. 4 Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, “Get me this young lady as a wife.”
5 Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons
were with his cattle in the field. Jacob held his peace until they came.
6 Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to talk with him. 7 The
sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. The men were
grieved, and they were very angry, because he had done folly in Israel in
lying with Jacob’s daughter; which thing ought not to be done. 8 Hamor
talked with them, saying, “The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for your
daughter. Please give her to him as a wife. 9 Make
11 Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in
your eyes, and whatever you
13 The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit,
and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister, 14 and said to them,
“We can’t do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for
that is a reproach to us. 15 Only on this condition will we consent to
you. If you
18 Their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem, Hamor’s son. 19 The young
man didn’t wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter,
and he was honored above all the house of his father. 20 Hamor and
Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of
their city, saying, 21 “These men are peaceful with us. Therefore let them
live in the land and trade in it. For, behold, the land is large enough for
them. Let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our
daughters. 22 Only on this condition will the men consent to us to dwell
with us, to become one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they
are circumcised. 23 Won’t their cattle and their substance and all their
animals be ours? Only let us give our consent to them, and they will dwell
with us.”
24 All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor, and to
Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate
of his city. 25 It happened on the third day, when they were sore, that
two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword,
came upon the unsuspecting city, and killed all the males. 26 They killed
Hamor and Shechem, his son, with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of
Shechem’s house, and went away. 27 Jacob’s sons came on the dead, and
plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister. 28 They took
their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that
which was in the field; 29 and all their wealth. They took captive all
their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in
the house. 30 Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You
31 They said, “Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?”
