And Dinah{H1783} the daughter{H1323} of Leah,{H3812} whom she bare{H3205} unto Jacob,{H3290} went out{H3318} to see{H7200} the daughters{H1323} of the land.{H776}

And Shechem{H7927} the son{H1121} of Hamor{H2544} the Hivite,{H2340} the prince{H5387} of the land,{H776} saw{H7200} her; and he took{H3947} her, and lay{H7901} with her, and humbled her.{H6031}

And his soul{H5315} clave{H1692} unto Dinah{H1783} the daughter{H1323} of Jacob,{H3290} and he loved{H157} the damsel,{H5291} and spake{H1696} kindly{H3820} unto the damsel.{H5291}

And Shechem{H7927} spake{H559} unto his father{H1} Hamor,{H2544} saying,{H559} Get{H3947} me this damsel{H3207} to wife.{H802}

Now Jacob{H3290} heard{H8085} that he had defiled{H2930} Dinah{H1783} his daughter;{H1323} and his sons{H1121} were with his cattle{H4735} in the field:{H7704} and Jacob{H3290} held his peace{H2790} until they came.{H935}

And Hamor{H2544} the father{H1} of Shechem{H7927} went out{H3318} unto Jacob{H3290} to commune{H1696} with{H854} him.

And the sons{H1121} of Jacob{H3290} came{H935} in from the field{H7704} when they heard{H8085} it: and the men{H582} were grieved,{H6087} and they were very{H3966} wroth,{H2734} because he had wrought{H6213} folly{H5039} in Israel{H3478} in lying{H7901} with Jacob's{H3290} daughter;{H1323} which thing ought not to be done.{H6213}

And Hamor{H2544} communed{H1696} with them, saying,{H559} The soul{H5315} of my son{H1121} Shechem{H7927} longeth{H2836} for your daughter:{H1323} I pray you, give{H5414} her unto him to wife.{H802}

And make ye marriages{H2859} with us; give{H5414} your daughters{H1323} unto us, and take{H3947} our daughters{H1323} unto you.

And ye shall dwell{H3427} with us: and the land{H776} shall be{H1961} before you;{H6440} dwell{H3427} and trade{H5503} ye therein, and get you possessions{H270} therein.

And Shechem{H7927} said{H559} unto her father{H1} and unto her brethren,{H251} Let me find{H4672} favor{H2580} in your eyes,{H5869} and what ye shall say{H559} unto me I will give.{H5414}

Ask{H7235} me never so much{H3966} dowry{H4119} and gift,{H4976} and I will give{H5414} according as ye shall say{H559} unto me: but give{H5414} me the damsel{H5291} to wife.{H802}

And the sons{H1121} of Jacob{H3290} answered{H6030} Shechem{H7927} and Hamor{H2544} his father{H1} with guile,{H4820} and spake,{H1696} because he had defiled{H2930} Dinah{H1783} their sister,{H269}

and said{H559} unto them, We cannot{H3808} do{H6213} this thing,{H1697} to give{H5414} our sister{H269} to one{H376} that is uncircumcised;{H6190} for that were a reproach{H2781} unto us.

Only on this{H2063} condition will we consent{H225} unto you: if ye will be as we are, that every male{H2145} of you be circumcised;{H4135}

then will we give{H5414} our daughters{H1323} unto you, and we will take{H3947} your daughters{H1323} to us, and we will dwell{H3427} with you, and we will become one{H259} people.{H5971}

But if ye will not hearken{H8085} unto us, to be circumcised;{H4135} then will we take{H3947} our daughter,{H1323} and we will be gone.{H1980}

And their words{H1697} pleased{H3190} Hamor,{H2544} and Shechem{H7927} Hamor's{H2544} son.{H1121}

And the young man{H5288} deferred{H309} not to do{H6213} the thing,{H1697} because he had delight{H2654} in Jacob's{H3290} daughter:{H1323} and he was honored{H3513} above all the house{H1004} of his father.{H1}

And Hamor{H2544} and Shechem{H7927} his son{H1121} came{H935} unto the gate{H8179} of their city,{H5892} and communed{H1696} with the men{H582} of their city,{H5892} saying,{H559}

These men{H582} are peaceable{H8003} with{H854} us; therefore let them dwell{H3427} in the land,{H776} and trade{H5503} therein; for, behold, the land{H776} is large{H7342} enough{H3027} for them;{H6440} let us take{H3947} their daughters{H1323} to us for wives,{H802} and let us give{H5414} them our daughters.{H1323}

Only on this condition{H2063} will the men{H582} consent{H225} unto us to dwell{H3427} with us, to become one{H259} people,{H5971} if every male{H2145} among us be circumcised,{H4135} as they are circumcised.{H4135}

Shall not their cattle{H4735} and their substance{H7075} and all their beasts{H929} be ours? only let us consent{H225} unto them, and they will dwell{H3427} with us.

And unto Hamor{H2544} and unto Shechem{H7927} his son{H1121} hearkened{H8085} all that went out{H3318} of the gate{H8179} of his city;{H5892} and every male{H2145} was circumcised,{H4135} all that went out{H3318} of the gate{H8179} of his city.{H5892}

And it came to pass on the third{H7992} day,{H3117} when they were sore,{H3510} that two{H8147} of the sons{H1121} of Jacob,{H3290} Simeon{H8095} and Levi,{H3878} Dinah's{H1783} brethren,{H251} took{H3947} each man{H376} his sword,{H2719} and came{H935} upon the city{H5892} unawares,{H983} and slew{H2026} all the males.{H2145}

And they slew{H2026} Hamor{H2544} and Shechem{H7927} his son{H1121} with the edge{H6310} of the sword,{H2719} and took{H3947} Dinah{H1783} out{H3318} of Shechem's{H7927} house,{H1004} and went forth.{H3318}

The sons{H1121} of Jacob{H3290} came{H935} upon the slain,{H2491} and plundered{H962} the city,{H5892} because they had defiled{H2930} their sister.{H269}

They took{H3947} their flocks{H6629} and their herds{H1241} and their asses,{H2543} and that which was in the city,{H5892} and that which was in the field;{H7704}

and all their wealth,{H2428} and all their little ones{H2945} and their wives,{H802} took they captive{H7617} and made a prey,{H962} even all that was in the house.{H1004}

And Jacob{H3290} said{H559} to Simeon{H8095} and Levi,{H3878} Ye have troubled{H5916} me, to make me odious to the inhabitants{H3427} of the land,{H776} among the Canaanites{H3669} and the Perizzites:{H6522} and, I being few{H4962} in number,{H4557} they will gather themselves together{H622} against me{H5221} and smite me;{H5221} and I shall be destroyed,{H8045} I and my house.{H1004}

And they said,{H559} Should he deal{H6213} with our sister{H269} as with a harlot?{H2181}
