  • Gen 34:2-9 : 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 was drawn to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young woman and spoke kindly to her. 4 And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Get me this young woman as a wife. 5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter. Now his sons were with his livestock in the field, and Jacob held his peace until they came. 6 And Hamor, the father of Shechem, went out to Jacob to speak with him. 7 And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it, and they were grieved and very wroth because he had wrought folly in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, a thing that ought not to be done. 8 And Hamor spoke with them, saying, My son Shechem longs for your daughter; I pray you give her to him as a wife. 9 And make marriages with us, and give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves. 10 And you shall dwell with us, and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade therein, and acquire possessions there. 11 And Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, Let me find grace in your eyes, and whatever you say to me, I will give. 12 Ask me for ever so much dowry and gift, and I will give according to your saying to me, but give me the young woman as a wife. 13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, because he had defiled Dinah, their sister, 14 And they said to them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised, for that would be a reproach to us. 15 But in this will we consent unto you: If you will become as we are, that every male of you be circumcised, 16 Then will we give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people. 17 But if you will not listen to us, to be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and leave. 18 And their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son. 19 And the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he delighted in Jacob's daughter, and he was more honorable than all the house of his father. 20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city and spoke to 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, indeed, is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us as wives, and let us give them our daughters. 22 Only in this will the men consent to dwell with us, to become one people, if every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised. 23 Will not their livestock and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell with us. 24 And all who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor and Shechem his son, and every male was circumcised, all who 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 brothers, 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 left. 27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain and plundered the city because they had defiled their sister. 28 They took their sheep, their oxen, and their donkeys, and what was in the city and what was in the field. 29 And all their wealth, all their little ones, and their wives they took captive, and they plundered even all that was in the houses. 30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, You have troubled me by making me despised among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and I, being few in number, they will gather together against me and slay me, and I shall be destroyed, I and my household. 31 And they said, Should he treat our sister as a harlot?
