1 And Di­nah the daugh­ter of Leah, which she bare unto Ja­cob, went out to see the daugh­ters of the land. 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. 3 And his soul clave unto Di­nah the daugh­ter of Ja­cob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kind­ly unto the damsel. 4 And Shechem spake unto his fa­ther Hamor, say­ing, Get me this damsel to wife. 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. 6 And Hamor the fa­ther of Shechem went out unto Ja­cob to com­mune with him. 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. 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. 9 And make ye mar­riages with us, and give your daugh­ters unto us, and take our daugh­ters unto you. 10 And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be be­fore you; dwell and trade ye there­in, and get you pos­ses­sions there­in. 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. 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. 13 And the sons of Ja­cob an­swered Shechem and Hamor his fa­ther de­ceit­ful­ly, and said, be­cause he had de­filed Di­nah their sis­ter: 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: 15 But in this will we con­sent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that ev­ery male of you be cir­cum­cised; 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. 17 But if ye will not hear­ken unto us, to be cir­cum­cised; then will we take our daugh­ter, and we will be gone. 18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son. 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. 20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and com­muned with the men of their city, say­ing, 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 27 The sons of Ja­cob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, be­cause they had de­filed their sis­ter. 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, 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. 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. 31 And they said, Should he deal with our sis­ter as with an har­lot?
