GE-34:1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto


  • Jacob,

  • went out to see the daughters of the land.



  • GE-34:2 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of
  • the

  • country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.



  • GE-34:3 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob,
  • and he

  • loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.



  • GE-34:4 And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me
  • this

  • damsel to wife.



  • GE-34:5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter:
  • now

  • his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his
  • peace

  • until they were come.



  • GE-34:6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to

  • commune with him.



  • GE-34:7 And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they
  • heard

  • [it]: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth,
  • because he

  • had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; which

  • thing ought not to be done.



  • GE-34:8 And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son

  • Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to
  • wife.



  • GE-34:9 And make ye marriages with us, [and] give your
  • daughters unto

  • us, and take our daughters unto you.

  • before

  • you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.



  • GE-34:11 And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren,
  • Let

  • me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will
  • give.



  • GE-34:12 Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give

  • according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to
  • wife.



  • GE-34:13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his
  • father

  • deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:



  • GE-34:14 And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to
  • give

  • our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that [were] a
  • reproach

  • unto us:



  • GE-34:15 But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as
  • we

  • [be], that every male of you be circumcised;



  • GE-34:16 Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will
  • take

  • your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will
  • become

  • one people.



  • GE-34:17 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised;
  • then

  • will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.



  • GE-34:18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.



  • GE-34:19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing,
  • because he

  • had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he [was] more honourable
  • than all

  • the house of his father.



  • GE-34:20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of
  • their

  • city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,



  • GE-34:21 These men [are] peaceable with us; therefore let them
  • dwell

  • in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, [it is]
  • large

  • enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives,
  • and let

  • us give them our daughters.



  • GE-34:22 Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell
  • with

  • us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as
  • they

  • [are] circumcised.



  • GE-34:23 [Shall] not their cattle and their substance and every
  • beast

  • of theirs [be] ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will

  • dwell with us.



  • GE-34:24 And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all
  • that

  • went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised,
  • all

  • that went out of the gate of his city.



  • GE-34:25 And it came to pass on the third day, when they were
  • sore,

  • that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren,
  • took

  • each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all
  • the

  • males.



  • GE-34:26 And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge
  • of the

  • sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.



  • GE-34:27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the
  • city,

  • because they had defiled their sister.



  • GE-34:28 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses,
  • and

  • that which [was] in the city, and that which [was] in the field,



  • GE-34:29 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and
  • their

  • wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that [was] in the
  • house.



  • GE-34:30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me
  • to

  • make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the

  • Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I [being] few in number, they
  • shall

  • gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall
  • be

  • destroyed, I and my house.



  • GE-34:31 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with
  • an

  • harlot?
