34Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the region.H1783H1323H3812H3205H3290H3318H7200H1323H776 2When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the region, saw her, he seized her and lay with her by force.H7927H1121H2544H2340H5387H776H7200H3947H7901H6031 3And his soul was drawn to Dinah daughter of Jacob; he loved the girl, and spoke tenderly to her.H5315H1692H1783H1323H3290H157H5291H1696H3820H5291 4So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, "Get me this girl to be my wife."H7927H559H1H2544H559H3947H3207H802 5Now Jacob heard that Shechem had defiled his daughter Dinah; but his sons were with his cattle in the field, so Jacob held his peace until they came.H3290H8085H2930H1783H1323H1121H4735H7704H3290H2790H935 6And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him,H2544H1H7927H3318H3290H1696H854 7just as the sons of Jacob came in from the field. When they heard of it, the men were indignant and very angry, because he had committed an outrage in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, for such a thing ought not to be done.H1121H3290H935H7704H8085H582H6087H3966H2734H6213H5039H3478H7901H3290H1323H6213 8But Hamor spoke with them, saying, "The heart of my son Shechem longs for your daughter; please give her to him in marriage.H2544H1696H559H5315H1121H7927H2836H1323H5414H802 9Make marriages with us; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.H2859H5414H1323H3947H1323 10You shall live with us; and the land shall be open to you; live and trade in it, and get property in it."H3427H776H1961H6440H3427H5503H270 11Shechem also said to her father and to her brothers, "Let me find favor with you, and whatever you say to me I will give.H7927H559H1H251H4672H2580H5869H559H5414 12Put the marriage present and gift as high as you like, and I will give whatever you ask me; only give me the girl to be my wife."H7235H3966H4119H4976H5414H559H5414H5291H802 13The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father Hamor deceitfully, because he had defiled their sister Dinah.H1121H3290H6030H7927H2544H1H4820H1696H2930H1783H269 14They said to them, "We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a disgrace to us.H559H3808H3201H6213H1697H5414H269H376H6190H2781 15Only on this condition will we consent to you: that you will become as we are and every male among you be circumcised.H2063H225H2145H4135 16Then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters for ourselves, and we will live among you and become one people.H5414H1323H3947H1323H3427H259H5971 17But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and be gone."H8085H4135H3947H1323H1980 18Their words pleased Hamor and Hamor's son Shechem.H1697H3190H5869H2544H7927H2544H1121 19And the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he was delighted with Jacob's daughter. Now he was the most honored of all his family.H5288H309H6213H1697H2654H3290H1323H3513H1004H1 20So Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city and spoke to the men of their city, saying,H2544H7927H1121H935H8179H5892H1696H582H5892H559 21"These people are friendly with us; let them live in the land and trade in it, for the land is large enough for them; let us take their daughters in marriage, and let us give them our daughters.H582H8003H854H3427H776H5503H776H7342H3027H6440H3947H1323H802H5414H1323 22Only on this condition will they agree to live among us, to become one people: that every male among us be circumcised as they are circumcised.H2063H582H225H3427H259H5971H2145H4135H4135 23Will not their livestock, their property, and all their animals be ours? Only let us agree with them, and they will live among us."H4735H7075H929H225H3427 24And all who went out of the city gate heeded Hamor and his son Shechem; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.H2544H7927H1121H8085H3318H8179H5892H2145H4135H3318H8179H5892 25On the third day, when they were still in pain, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and came against the city unawares, and killed all the males.H7992H3117H3510H8147H1121H3290H8095H3878H1783H251H3947H376H2719H935H5892H983H2026H2145 26They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went away.H2026H2544H7927H1121H6310H2719H3947H1783H3947H7927H1004H3318 27And the other sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because their sister had been defiled.H1121H3290H935H2491H962H5892H2930H269 28They took their flocks and their herds, their donkeys, and whatever was in the city and in the field.H3947H6629H1241H2543H5892H7704 29All their wealth, all their little ones and their wives, all that was in the houses, they captured and made their prey.H2428H2945H802H7617H962H1004 30Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have brought trouble on me by making me odious to the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the Perizzites; my numbers are few, and if they gather themselves against me and attack me, I shall be destroyed, both I and my household."H3290H559H8095H3878H5916H887H3427H776H3669H6522H4962H4557H622H5221H8045H1004 31But they said, "Should our sister be treated like a whore?"H559H6213H269H2181
