And DinahH1783 the daughterH1323 of Leah,H3812 whichH834 she boreH3205 to Jacob,H3290 wentH3318 out to seeH7200 the daughtersH1323 of the land.H776
2
And when ShechemH7927 the sonH1121 of HamorH2544 the Hivite,H2340 princeH5387 of the country,H776 sawH7200 her, he tookH3947 her, and layH7901 with her, and defiledH6031 her.
3
And his soulH5315 joinedH1692 to DinahH1783 the daughterH1323 of Jacob,H3290 and he lovedH157 the damsel,H5291 and spokeH1696 kindlyH5921 H3820 to the damsel.H5291
4
And ShechemH7927 spokeH559 to his fatherH1 Hamor,H2544 saying,H559 GetH3947 me thisH2063 damselH3207 to wife.H802
5
And JacobH3290 heardH8085 that he had defiledH2930 DinahH1783 his daughter:H1323 now his sonsH1121 were with his cattleH4735 in the field:H7704 and JacobH3290 heldH2790 his peaceH2790 untilH5704 they were come.H935
6
And HamorH2544 the fatherH1 of ShechemH7927 wentH3318 out to JacobH3290 to communeH1696 with him.
7
And the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 cameH935 out of the fieldH7704 when they heardH8085 it: and the menH582 were grieved,H6087 and they were veryH3966 wroth,H2734 becauseH3588 he had workedH6213 follyH5039 in IsraelH3478 in lyingH7901 with Jacob'sH3290 daughter:H1323 whichH3651 thingH3651 ought not to be done.H6213
8
And HamorH2544 communedH1696 with them, saying,H559 The soulH5315 of my sonH1121 ShechemH7927 longsH2836 for your daughter:H1323 I prayH4994 you giveH5414 her him to wife.H802
9
And make you marriagesH2859 with us, and giveH5414 your daughtersH1323 to us, and takeH3947 our daughtersH1323 to you.
10
And you shall dwellH3427 with us: and the landH776 shall be beforeH6440 you; dwellH3427 and tradeH5503 you therein, and get you possessionsH270 therein.
11
And ShechemH7927 saidH559 to her fatherH1 and to her brothers,H251 Let me findH4672 graceH2580 in your eyes,H5869 and whatH834 you shall sayH559 to me I will give.H5414
12
Ask me never so muchH3966 H7235 dowryH4119 and gift,H4976 and I will giveH5414 according as you shall sayH559 to me: but giveH5414 me the damselH5291 to wife.H802
13
And the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 answeredH6030 ShechemH7927 and HamorH2544 his fatherH1 deceitfully,H4820 and said,H1696 becauseH834 he had defiledH2930 DinahH1783 their sister:H269
14
And they saidH559 to them, We cannotH3808 H3201 doH6213 thisH2088 thing,H1697 to giveH5414 our sisterH269 to oneH376 that is uncircumcised;H6190 for that were a reproachH2781 to us:
15
But in thisH2063 will we consentH225 to you: IfH518 you will be as we be, that everyH3605 maleH2145 of you be circumcised;H4135
16
Then will we giveH5414 our daughtersH1323 to you, and we will takeH3947 your daughtersH1323 to us, and we will dwellH3427 with you, and we will becomeH1961 oneH259 people.H5971
17
But ifH518 you will not listenH8085 to us, to be circumcised;H4135 then will we takeH3947 our daughter,H1323 and we will be gone.H1980
18
And their wordsH1697 pleasedH3190 H5869 Hamor,H2544 and ShechemH7927 Hamor'sH2544 son.H1121
19
And the youngH5288 man deferredH309 not to doH6213 the thing,H1697 becauseH3588 he had delightH2654 in Jacob'sH3290 daughter:H1323 and he was moreH3513 honorableH3513 than allH3605 the houseH1004 of his father.H1
20
And HamorH2544 and ShechemH7927 his sonH1121 cameH935 to the gateH8179 of their city,H5892 and communedH1696 with the menH582 of their city,H5892 saying,H559
21
TheseH428 menH582 are peaceableH8003 with us; therefore let them dwellH3427 in the land,H776 and tradeH5503 therein; for the land,H776 behold,H2009 it is largeH7342 enoughH3027 for them; let us takeH3947 their daughtersH1323 to us for wives,H802 and let us giveH5414 them our daughters.H1323
22
OnlyH389 hereinH2063 will the menH582 consentH225 to us for to dwellH3427 with us, to be oneH259 people,H5971 ifH518 everyH3605 maleH2145 among us be circumcised,H4135 as they are circumcised.H4135
23
Shall not their cattleH4735 and their substanceH7075 and everyH3605 beastH929 of their's be our's? onlyH389 let us consentH225 to them, and they will dwellH3427 with us.
24
And to HamorH2544 and to ShechemH7927 his sonH1121 listenedH8085 allH3605 that wentH3318 out of the gateH8179 of his city;H5892 and everyH3605 maleH2145 was circumcised,H4135 all that wentH3318 out of the gateH8179 of his city.H5892
25
And it cameH1961 to pass on the thirdH7992 day,H3117 when they were sore,H3510 that twoH8147 of the sonsH1121 of Jacob,H3290 SimeonH8095 and Levi,H3878 Dinah'sH1783 brothers,H251 tookH3947 each manH376 his sword,H2719 and cameH935 on the cityH5892 boldly,H983 and slewH2026 allH3605 the males.H2145
26
And they slewH2026 HamorH2544 and ShechemH7927 his sonH1121 with the edgeH6310 of the sword,H2719 and tookH3947 DinahH1783 out of Shechem'sH7927 house,H1004 and wentH3318 out.
27
The sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 cameH935 on the slain,H2491 and spoiledH962 the city,H5892 becauseH834 they had defiledH2930 their sister.H269
28
They tookH3947 their sheep,H6629 and their oxen,H1241 and their asses,H2543 and that whichH834 was in the city,H5892 and that whichH834 was in the field,H7704
29
And allH3605 their wealth,H2428 and allH3605 their littleH2945 ones, and their wivesH802 took they captive,H7617 and spoiledH962 even allH3605 that was in the house.H1004
30
And JacobH3290 saidH559 to SimeonH8095 and Levi,H3878 You have troubledH5916 me to make me to stinkH887 among the inhabitantsH3427 of the land,H776 among the CanaanitesH3669 and the Perizzites:H6522 and I being fewH4962 in number,H4557 they shall gatherH622 themselves together againstH5921 me, and slayH5221 me; and I shall be destroyed,H8045 I and my house.H1004
31
And they said,H559 Should he dealH6213 with our sisterH269 as with an harlot?H2181
