1 And Dinah <01783> the daughter <01323> of Leah <03812>, which she bare <03205> (8804) unto Jacob <03290> , went out <03318> (8799) to see <07200> (8800) the daughters <01323> of the land <0776>.
2 And when Shechem <07927> the son <01121> of Hamor <02544> the Hivite <02340>, prince <05387> of the country <0776>, saw <07200> (8799) her, he took <03947> (8799) her, and lay <07901> (8799) with her, and defiled her <06031> (8762).
3 And his soul <05315> clave <01692> (8799) unto Dinah <01783> the daughter <01323> of Jacob <03290> , and he loved <0157> (8799) the damsel <05291>, and spake <01696> (8762) kindly <03820> unto the damsel <05291>.
4 And Shechem <07927> spake <0559> (8799) unto his father <01> Hamor <02544>, saying <0559> (8800) , Get <03947> (8798) me this damsel <03207> to wife <0802>.
5 And Jacob <03290> heard <08085> (8804) that he had defiled <02930> (8765) Dinah <01783> his daughter <01323>: now his sons <01121> were with his cattle <04735> in the field <07704>: and Jacob <03290> held his peace <02790> (8689) until they were come <0935> (8800).
6 And Hamor <02544> the father <01> of Shechem <07927> went out <03318> (8799) unto Jacob <03290> to commune <01696> (8763) with <0854> him.
7 And the sons <01121> of Jacob <03290> came <0935> (8804) out of the field <07704> when they heard <08085> (8800) it: and the men <0582> were grieved <06087> (8691), and they were very <03966> wroth <02734> (8799) , because he had wrought <06213> (8804) folly <05039> in Israel <03478> in lying <07901> (8800) with Jacob#s <03290> daughter <01323>; which thing ought not to be done <06213> (8735).
8 And Hamor <02544> communed <01696> (8762) with them, saying <0559> (8800), The soul <05315> of my son <01121> Shechem <07927> longeth <02836> (8804) for your daughter <01323>: I pray you give <05414> (8798) her him to wife <0802>.
9 And make ye marriages <02859> (8690) with us, and give <05414> (8799) your daughters <01323> unto us, and take <03947> (8799) our daughters <01323> unto you.
10 And ye shall dwell <03427> (8799) with us: and the land <0776> shall be <01961> (8799) before you <06440> ; dwell <03427> (8798) and trade <05503> (8804) ye therein, and get you possessions <0270> (8734) therein.
11 And Shechem <07927> said <0559> (8799) unto her father <01> and unto her brethren <0251>, Let me find <04672> (8799) grace <02580> in your eyes <05869>, and what ye shall say <0559> (8799) unto me I will give <05414> (8799).
12 Ask <07235> (8685) me never so much <03966> dowry <04119> and gift <04976>, and I will give <05414> (8799) according as ye shall say <0559> (8799) unto me: but give <05414> (8798) me the damsel <05291> to wife <0802> .
13 And the sons <01121> of Jacob <03290> answered <06030> (8799) Shechem <07927> and Hamor <02544> his father <01> deceitfully <04820>, and said <01696> (8762), because he had defiled <02930> (8765) Dinah <01783> their sister <0269>:
14 And they said <0559> (8799) unto them, We cannot <03808> <03201> (8799) do <06213> (8800) this thing <01697>, to give <05414> (8800) our sister <0269> to one <0376> that is uncircumcised <06190>; for that were a reproach <02781> unto us:
15 But in this <02063> will we consent <0225> (8735) unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male <02145> of you be circumcised <04135> (8736);
16 Then will we give <05414> (8804) our daughters <01323> unto you, and we will take <03947> (8799) your daughters <01323> to us, and we will dwell <03427> (8804) with you, and we will become one <0259> people <05971>.
17 But if ye will not hearken <08085> (8799) unto us, to be circumcised <04135> (8736); then will we take <03947> (8804) our daughter <01323>, and we will be gone <01980> (8804).
18 And their words <01697> pleased <03190> (8799) <05869> Hamor <02544>, and Shechem <07927> Hamor#s <02544> son <01121>.
19 And the young man <05288> deferred <0309> (8765) not to do <06213> (8800) the thing <01697>, because he had delight <02654> (8804) in Jacob#s <03290> daughter <01323>: and he was more honourable <03513> (8737) than all the house <01004> of his father <01>.
20 And Hamor <02544> and Shechem <07927> his son <01121> came <0935> (8799) unto the gate <08179> of their city <05892>, and communed <01696> (8762) with the men <0582> of their city <05892>, saying <0559> (8800),
21 These men <0582> are peaceable <08003> with <0854> us; therefore let them dwell <03427> (8799) in the land <0776>, and trade <05503> (8799) therein; for the land <0776>, behold, it is large <07342> enough <03027> for them <06440>; let us take <03947> (8799) their daughters <01323> to us for wives <0802>, and let us give <05414> (8799) them our daughters <01323>.
22 Only herein <02063> will the men <0582> consent <0225> (8735) unto us for to dwell <03427> (8800) with us, to be one <0259> people <05971>, if every male <02145> among us be circumcised <04135> (8736), as they are circumcised <04135> (8737).
23 Shall not their cattle <04735> and their substance <07075> and every beast <0929> of theirs be ours? only let us consent <0225> (8735) unto them, and they will dwell <03427> (8799) with us.
24 And unto Hamor <02544> and unto Shechem <07927> his son <01121> hearkened <08085> (8799) all that went out <03318> (8802) of the gate <08179> of his city <05892>; and every male <02145> was circumcised <04135> (8735), all that went out <03318> (8802) of the gate <08179> of his city <05892>.
25 And it came to pass on the third <07992> day <03117>, when they were sore <03510> (8802), that two <08147> of the sons <01121> of Jacob <03290>, Simeon <08095> and Levi <03878>, Dinah#s <01783> brethren <0251>, took <03947> (8799) each man <0376> his sword <02719>, and came <0935> (8799) upon the city <05892> boldly <0983>, and slew <02026> (8799) all the males <02145>.
26 And they slew <02026> (8804) Hamor <02544> and Shechem <07927> his son <01121> with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>, and took <03947> <00> Dinah <01783> out <03947> (8799) of Shechem#s <07927> house <01004>, and went out <03318> (8799).
27 The sons <01121> of Jacob <03290> came <0935> (8804) upon the slain <02491>, and spoiled <0962> (8799) the city <05892>, because they had defiled <02930> (8765) their sister <0269>.
28 They took <03947> (8804) their sheep <06629>, and their oxen <01241>, and their asses <02543>, and that which was in the city <05892>, and that which was in the field <07704>,
29 And all their wealth <02428>, and all their little ones <02945>, and their wives <0802> took they captive <07617> (8804), and spoiled <0962> (8799) even all that was in the house <01004>.
30 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> (8799) to Simeon <08095> and Levi <03878>, Ye have troubled <05916> (8804) me to make me to stink <0887> (8687) among the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of the land <0776>, among the Canaanites <03669> and the Perizzites <06522>: and I being few <04962> in number <04557>, they shall gather themselves together <0622> (8738) against me, and slay me <05221> (8689); and I shall be destroyed <08045> (8738), I and my house <01004>.
31 And they said <0559> (8799), Should he deal <06213> (8799) with our sister <0269> as with an harlot <02181> (8802)?
