1And Dinah1783 the daughter1323 of Leah3812, which she bare3205 unto Jacob3290, went out3318 to see7200 the daughters1323 of the land776.
2And when Shechem7927 the son1121 of Hamor2544 the Hivite2340, prince5387 of the country776, saw7200 her, he took3947 her, and lay7901 with her, and defiled her6031.
3And his soul5315 clave1692 unto Dinah1783 the daughter1323 of Jacob3290, and he loved157 the damsel5291, and spake1696 kindly3820 unto the damsel5291.
4And Shechem7927 spake559 unto his father1 Hamor2544, saying559, Get3947 me this damsel3207 to wife802.
5And Jacob3290 heard8085 that he had defiled2930 Dinah1783 his daughter1323: now his sons1121 were with his cattle4735 in the field7704: and Jacob3290 held his peace2790 until they were come935.
6And Hamor2544 the father1 of Shechem7927 went out3318 unto Jacob3290 to commune1696 with854 him.
7And the sons1121 of Jacob3290 came935 out of the field7704 when they heard8085 it: and the men582 were grieved6087, and they were very3966 wroth2734, because he had wrought6213 folly5039 in Israel3478 in lying7901 with Jacob's3290 daughter1323; which thing ought not to be done6213.
8And Hamor2544 communed1696 with them, saying559, The soul5315 of my son1121 Shechem7927 longeth2836 for your daughter1323: I pray you give5414 her him to wife802.
9And make ye marriages2859 with us, and give5414 your daughters1323 unto us, and take3947 our daughters1323 unto you.
10And ye shall dwell3427 with us: and the land776 shall be1961 before you6440; dwell3427 and trade5503 ye therein, and get you possessions270 therein.
11And Shechem7927 said559 unto her father1 and unto her brethren251, Let me find4672 grace2580 in your eyes5869, and what ye shall say559 unto me I will give5414.
12Ask7235 me never so much3966 dowry4119 and gift4976, and I will give5414 according as ye shall say559 unto me: but give5414 me the damsel5291 to wife802.
13And the sons1121 of Jacob3290 answered6030 Shechem7927 and Hamor2544 his father1 deceitfully4820, and said1696, because he had defiled2930 Dinah1783 their sister269:
14And they said559 unto them, We cannot3808 3201 do6213 this thing1697, to give5414 our sister269 to one376 that is uncircumcised6190; for that were a reproach2781 unto us:
15But in this2063 will we consent225 unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male2145 of you be circumcised4135;
16Then will we give5414 our daughters1323 unto you, and we will take3947 your daughters1323 to us, and we will dwell3427 with you, and we will become one259 people5971.
17But if ye will not hearken8085 unto us, to be circumcised4135; then will we take3947 our daughter1323, and we will be gone1980.
18And their words1697 pleased3190 5869 Hamor2544, and Shechem7927 Hamor's2544 son1121.
19And the young man5288 deferred309 not to do6213 the thing1697, because he had delight2654 in Jacob's3290 daughter1323: and he was more honourable3513 than all the house1004 of his father1.
20And Hamor2544 and Shechem7927 his son1121 came935 unto the gate8179 of their city5892, and communed1696 with the men582 of their city5892, saying559,
21These men582 are peaceable8003 with854 us; therefore let them dwell3427 in the land776, and trade5503 therein; for the land776, behold, it is large7342 enough3027 for them6440; let us take3947 their daughters1323 to us for wives802, and let us give5414 them our daughters1323.
22Only herein2063 will the men582 consent225 unto us for to dwell3427 with us, to be one259 people5971, if every male2145 among us be circumcised4135, as they are circumcised4135.
23Shall not their cattle4735 and their substance7075 and every beast929 of theirs be ours? only let us consent225 unto them, and they will dwell3427 with us.
24And unto Hamor2544 and unto Shechem7927 his son1121 hearkened8085 all that went out3318 of the gate8179 of his city5892; and every male2145 was circumcised4135, all that went out3318 of the gate8179 of his city5892.
25And it came to pass on the third7992 day3117, when they were sore3510, that two8147 of the sons1121 of Jacob3290, Simeon8095 and Levi3878, Dinah's1783 brethren251, took3947 each man376 his sword2719, and came935 upon the city5892 boldly983, and slew2026 all the males2145.
26And they slew2026 Hamor2544 and Shechem7927 his son1121 with the edge6310 of the sword2719, and took3947 Dinah1783 out3947 of Shechem's7927 house1004, and went out3318.
27The sons1121 of Jacob3290 came935 upon the slain2491, and spoiled962 the city5892, because they had defiled2930 their sister269.
28They took3947 their sheep6629, and their oxen1241, and their asses2543, and that which was in the city5892, and that which was in the field7704,
29And all their wealth2428, and all their little ones2945, and their wives802 took they captive7617, and spoiled962 even all that was in the house1004.
30And Jacob3290 said559 to Simeon8095 and Levi3878, Ye have troubled5916 me to make me to stink887 among the inhabitants3427 of the land776, among the Canaanites3669 and the Perizzites6522: and I being few4962 in number4557, they shall gather themselves together622 against me, and slay me5221; and I shall be destroyed8045, I and my house1004.
31And they said559, Should he deal6213 with our sister269 as with an harlot2181?
