1
Now Dinah
the daughter
of Leah,
whom
she had borne
to Jacob,
went
out to visit
the daughters
of the land.
2
When Shechem
the son
of Hamor
the Hivite,
the prince
of the land,
saw
her, he took
her and lay
with her by force.
3
He was deeply attracted
to Dinah
the daughter
of Jacob,
and he loved
the girl
and spoke
tenderly
to her.
4
So Shechem
spoke
to his father
Hamor,
saying,
"Get
me this
young girl
for a wife."
5
Now Jacob
heard
that he had defiled
Dinah
his daughter;
but his sons
were with his livestock
in the field,
so Jacob
kept silent
until
they came
in.
6
Then Hamor
the father
of Shechem
went
out to Jacob
to speak
with him.
7
Now the sons
of Jacob
came
in from the field
when they heard
it; and the men
were grieved,
and they were very
angry
because
he had done
a disgraceful thing
in Israel
by lying
with Jacob's
daughter,
for such a thing
ought not to be done.
8
But Hamor
spoke
with them, saying,
"The soul
of my son
Shechem
longs
for your daughter;
please
give
her to him in marriage.
9
"Intermarry
with us; give
y
our daughters
to us and take
our daughters
for yourselves.
10
"Thus you shall live
with us, and the land
shall be open before
you; live
and trade
in it and acquire property
in it."
11
Shechem
also said
to her father
and to her brothers,
"If I find
favor
in your sight,
then I will give
whatever
you say
to me.
12
"Ask
me ever so
much
bridal payment
and gift,
and I will give
according as you say
to me; but give
me the girl
in marriage."
13
But Jacob's
sons
answered
Shechem
and his father
Hamor
with deceit,
because
he had defiled
Dinah
their sister.
14
They said
to them, "We cannot
do
this
thing,
to give
our sister
to one
who
is uncircumcised,
for that would be a disgrace
to us.
15
"Only
on this
condition will we consent
to you: if
you will become
like
us, in that every
male
of you be circumcised,
16
then we will give
our daughters
to you, and we will take
your daughters
for ourselves, and we will live
with you and become
one
people.
17
"But if
you will not listen
to us to be circumcised,
then we will take
our daughter
and go."
18
Now their words
seemed reasonable
to Hamor
and Shechem,
Hamor's
son.
19
The young man
did not delay
to do
the thing,
because
he was delighted
with Jacob's
daughter.
Now he was more
respected
than
all
the household
of his father.
20
So Hamor
and his son
Shechem
came
to the gate
of their city
and spoke
to the men
of their city
,
saying,
21
"These
men
are friendly
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
in marriage,
and give
our daughters
to them.
22
"Only
on this
condition will the men
consent
to us to live
with us, to become
one
people:
that every
male
among us be circumcised
as they are circumcised.
23
"Will not their livestock
and their property
and all
their animals
be ours? Only
let us consent
to them, and they will live
with us."
24
All
who went
out of the gate
of his city
listened
to Hamor
and to his son
Shechem,
and every
male
was circumcised,
all
who went
out of the gate
of his city
.
25
Now it came
about on the third
day,
when they were in pain,
that two
of Jacob's
sons,
Simeon
and Levi,
Dinah's
brothers,
each
took
his sword
and came
upon the city
unawares,
and killed
every
male.
26
They killed
Hamor
and his son
Shechem
with the edge
of the sword,
and took
Dinah
from
Shechem
's
house,
and went forth.
27
Jacob's
sons
came
upon the slain
and looted
the city,
because
they had defiled
their sister.
28
They took
their flocks
and their herds
and their donkeys,
and that which
was in the city
and that which
was in the field;
29
and they captured
and looted
all
their wealth
and
all
their little ones
and their wives,
even
all
that was in the houses.
30
Then Jacob
said
to Simeon
and Levi,
"You have brought trouble
on me by making me odious
among the inhabitants
of the land,
among the Canaanites
and the Perizzites;
and my men being few
in number,
they will gather
together against
me and attack
me and I will be destroyed,
I and my household."
31
But they said,
"Should he treat
our sister
as a harlot?"
