1And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.2And Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the leader of the land, saw her and took her and lay with her and afflicted her.3And his soul clung to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the maiden and spoke to the heart of the maiden.4And Shechem said to Hamor his father, "Take this maiden for me as a wife."5And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter, and his sons were with his livestock in the field, and Jacob remained silent until they came.6And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.7And the sons of Jacob came from the field when they heard, and the men were grieved and were very incensed with them, because he had done a folly in Israel by lying with the daughter of Jacob, and such a thing ought not to be done.8And Hamor spoke with them, saying, Shechem my son, his soul longs for your daughter; please give her to him as a wife.9And make marriages with us; give your daughters to us and take our daughters for yourselves.10And dwell with us, and the land will be before you; dwell and trade in it and take possession of it.11And Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I will give.12Make the bride price and the gift very great upon me, and I will give whatever you say to me, and give the maiden to me as a wife.13And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister.14And they said to them, "We are not able to do this thing, to give our sister to a man who has a foreskin, for that would be a reproach to us."15Only on this condition will we consent to you: if you become like us by every male among you being circumcised.16Then we will give our daughters to you and we will take your daughters for ourselves and we will dwell with you and we will become one people.17But if you will not listen to us to be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go.18And their words pleased Hamor and Shechem the son of Hamor.19And the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he took pleasure in the daughter of Jacob, and he was the most honored of all his father's house.20And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city and spoke to the men of their city, saying,21These men are at peace with us; let them dwell in the land and trade in it, and the land is broad of hand before them; we will take their daughters for ourselves as wives and give our daughters to them.22Only on this condition will the men consent to us to dwell with us, to become one people, when every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised.23Will not their livestock and their property and all their animals be ours? Only let them consent to us and they will dwell with us.24And all who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor and to Shechem his son, and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.25And on the third day, when they were in pain, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, the brothers of Dinah, each took his sword and came upon the city boldly and killed every male.26And they killed Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword and took Dinah out of Shechem's house and went out.27The sons of Jacob came upon the slain and plundered the city because they had defiled their sister.28They took their flocks and their herds and their donkeys and whatever was in the city and whatever was in the field.29And they took captive all their wealth and all their little ones and their wives and plundered everything that was in the house.30And 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, and since I am few in number they will gather against me and attack me and I and my house will be destroyed.31And they said, Shall he treat our sister as a prostitute?
