1
And Dinah[H1783] the daughter[H1323] of Leah[H3812], which she bare[H3205] unto Jacob[H3290], went out[H3318] to see[H7200] the daughters[H1323] of the land[H776].
2
And when Shechem[H7927] the son[H1121] of Hamor[H2544] the Hivite[H2340], prince[H5387] of the country[H776], saw[H7200]her[H6031], he took[H3947]her[H6031], and lay[H7901] with her[H6031], and defiled her[H6031].
3
And his soul[H5315]clave[H1692] unto Dinah[H1783] the daughter[H1323] of Jacob[H3290], and he loved[H157] the damsel[H5291], and spake[H1696]kindly[H3820] unto the damsel[H5291].
4
And Shechem[H7927]spake[H559] unto his father[H1]Hamor[H2544], saying[H559], Get[H3947] me this damsel[H3207] to wife[H802].
5
And Jacob[H3290]heard[H8085] that he had defiled[H2930]Dinah[H1783] his daughter[H1323]: now his sons[H1121] were with his cattle[H4735] in the field[H7704]: and Jacob[H3290] held his peace[H2790] until they were come[H935].
6
And Hamor[H2544] the father[H1] of Shechem[H7927] went out[H3318] unto Jacob[H3290] to commune[H1696]with[H854] him.
7
And the sons[H1121] of Jacob[H3290]came[H935] out of the field[H7704] when they heard[H8085] it: and the men[H582] were grieved[H6087], and they were very[H3966]wroth[H2734], because he had wrought[H6213]folly[H5039] in Israel[H3478] in lying[H7901] with Jacob[H3290]'s daughter[H1323]; which thing ought not to be done[H6213].
8
And Hamor[H2544]communed[H1696] with them, saying[H559], The soul[H5315] of my son[H1121]Shechem[H7927]longeth[H2836] for your daughter[H1323]: I pray you give[H5414] her him to wife[H802].
9
And make ye marriages[H2859] with us, and give[H5414] your daughters[H1323] unto us, and take[H3947] our daughters[H1323] unto you.
10
And ye shall dwell[H3427] with us: and the land[H776] shall be[H1961] before you[H6440]; dwell[H3427] and trade[H5503] ye therein, and get you[H6440]possessions[H270] therein.
11
And Shechem[H7927]said[H559] unto her father[H1] and unto her brethren[H251], Let me find[H4672]grace[H2580] in your eyes[H5869], and what ye shall say[H559] unto me I will give[H5414].
12Ask[H7235] me never so much[H3966]dowry[H4119] and gift[H4976], and I will give[H5414] according as ye shall say[H559] unto me: but give[H5414] me the damsel[H5291] to wife[H802].
13
And the sons[H1121] of Jacob[H3290]answered[H6030]Shechem[H7927] and Hamor[H2544] his father[H1]deceitfully[H4820], and said[H1696], because he had defiled[H2930]Dinah[H1783] their sister[H269]:
14
And they said[H559] unto them, We cannot[H3808]do[H6213] this thing[H1697], to give[H5414] our sister[H269] to one[H376] that is uncircumcised[H6190]; for that were a reproach[H2781] unto us:
15
But in this[H2063] will we consent[H225] unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male[H2145] of you be circumcised[H4135];
16
Then will we give[H5414] our daughters[H1323] unto you, and we will take[H3947] your daughters[H1323] to us, and we will dwell[H3427] with you, and we will become one[H259]people[H5971].
17
But if ye will not hearken[H8085] unto us, to be circumcised[H4135]; then will we take[H3947] our daughter[H1323], and we will be gone[H1980].
18
And their words[H1697]pleased[H3190]Hamor[H2544], and Shechem[H7927]Hamor[H2544]'s son[H1121].
19
And the young man[H5288]deferred[H309] not to do[H6213] the thing[H1697], because he had delight[H2654] in Jacob's daughter[H1323]: and he was more honourable[H3513] than all the house[H1004] of his father[H1].
20
And Hamor[H2544] and Shechem[H7927] his son[H1121]came[H935] unto the gate[H8179] of their city[H5892], and communed[H1696] with the men[H582] of their city[H5892], saying[H559],
21
These men[H582] are peaceable[H8003]with[H854] us; therefore let them[H6440]dwell[H3427] in the land[H776], and trade[H5503] therein; for the land[H776], behold, it is large[H7342]enough[H3027] for them[H6440]; let us take[H3947] their daughters[H1323] to us for wives[H802], and let us give[H5414]them[H6440] our daughters[H1323].
22
Only herein[H2063] will the men[H582]consent[H225] unto us for to dwell[H3427] with us, to be one[H259]people[H5971], if every male[H2145] among us be circumcised[H4135], as they are circumcised[H4135].
23
Shall not their cattle[H4735] and their substance[H7075] and every beast[H929] of theirs be ours? only let us consent[H225] unto them, and they will dwell[H3427] with us.
24
And unto Hamor[H2544] and unto Shechem[H7927] his son[H1121]hearkened[H8085] all that went out[H3318] of the gate[H8179] of his city[H5892]; and every male[H2145] was circumcised[H4135], all that went out[H3318] of the gate[H8179] of his city[H5892].
25
And it came[H935] to pass on the third[H7992]day[H3117], when they were sore[H3510], that two[H8147] of the sons[H1121] of Jacob[H3290], Simeon[H8095] and Levi[H3878], Dinah's brethren[H251], took[H3947] each man[H376] his sword[H2719], and came[H935] upon the city[H5892]boldly[H983], and slew[H2026] all the males[H2145].
26
And they slew[H2026]Hamor[H2544] and Shechem[H7927] his son[H1121] with the edge[H6310] of the sword[H2719], and took[H3947]Dinah[H1783]out[H3947] of Shechem[H7927]'s house[H1004], and went out[H3318].
27
The sons[H1121] of Jacob[H3290]came[H935] upon the slain[H2491], and spoiled[H962] the city[H5892], because they had defiled[H2930] their sister[H269].
28
They took[H3947] their sheep[H6629], and their oxen[H1241], and their asses[H2543], and that which was in the city[H5892], and that which was in the field[H7704],
29
And all their wealth[H2428], and all their little ones[H2945], and their wives[H802] took they captive[H7617], and spoiled[H962] even all that was in the house[H1004].
30
And Jacob[H3290]said[H559] to Simeon[H8095] and Levi[H3878], Ye have troubled[H5916]me[H5221] to make me[H5221] to stink[H887] among the inhabitants[H3427] of the land[H776], among the Canaanites[H3669] and the Perizzites[H6522]: and I being few[H4962] in number[H4557], they shall gather themselves together[H622] against me[H5221], and slay me[H5221]; and I shall be destroyed[H8045], I and my house[H1004].
31
And they said[H559], Should he deal[H6213] with our sister[H269] as with an harlot?[H2181]
