Genesis 34
And DinahH1783 the daughterH1323 of LeahH3812, whom she bareH3205 unto JacobH3290, went outH3318 to seeH7200 the daughtersH1323 of the landH776.
And ShechemH7927 the sonH1121 of HamorH2544 the HiviteH2340, the princeH5387 of the landH776, sawH7200 her; and he tookH3947 her, and layH7901 with her, and humbled herH6031.
And his soulH5315 claveH1692 unto DinahH1783 the daughterH1323 of JacobH3290, and he lovedH157 the damselH5291, and spakeH1696 kindlyH3820 unto the damselH5291.
And ShechemH7927 spakeH559 unto his fatherH1 HamorH2544, sayingH559, GetH3947 me this damselH3207 to wifeH802.
Now JacobH3290 heardH8085 that he had defiledH2930 DinahH1783 his daughterH1323; and his sonsH1121 were with his cattleH4735 in the fieldH7704: and JacobH3290 held his peaceH2790 until they cameH935.
And HamorH2544 the fatherH1 of ShechemH7927 went outH3318 unto JacobH3290 to communeH1696 withH854 him.
And the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 cameH935 in from the fieldH7704 when they heardH8085 it: and the menH582 were grievedH6087, and they were veryH3966 wrothH2734, because he had wroughtH6213 follyH5039 in IsraelH3478 in lyingH7901 with Jacob'sH3290 daughterH1323; which thing ought not to be doneH6213.
And HamorH2544 communedH1696 with them, sayingH559, The soulH5315 of my sonH1121 ShechemH7927 longethH2836 for your daughterH1323: I pray you, giveH5414 her unto him to wifeH802.
And make ye marriagesH2859 with us; giveH5414 your daughtersH1323 unto us, and takeH3947 our daughtersH1323 unto you.
And ye shall dwellH3427 with us: and the landH776 shall beH1961 before youH6440; dwellH3427 and tradeH5503 ye therein, and get you possessionsH270 therein.
And ShechemH7927 saidH559 unto her fatherH1 and unto her brethrenH251, Let me findH4672 favorH2580 in your eyesH5869, and what ye shall sayH559 unto me I will giveH5414.
AskH7235 me never so muchH3966 dowryH4119 and giftH4976, and I will giveH5414 according as ye shall sayH559 unto me: but giveH5414 me the damselH5291 to wifeH802.
And the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 answeredH6030 ShechemH7927 and HamorH2544 his fatherH1 with guileH4820, and spakeH1696, because he had defiledH2930 DinahH1783 their sisterH269,
and saidH559 unto them, We cannotH3808 doH6213 this thingH1697, to giveH5414 our sisterH269 to oneH376 that is uncircumcisedH6190; for that were a reproachH2781 unto us.
Only on thisH2063 condition will we consentH225 unto you: if ye will be as we are, that every maleH2145 of you be circumcisedH4135;
then will we giveH5414 our daughtersH1323 unto you, and we will takeH3947 your daughtersH1323 to us, and we will dwellH3427 with you, and we will become oneH259 peopleH5971.
But if ye will not hearkenH8085 unto us, to be circumcisedH4135; then will we takeH3947 our daughterH1323, and we will be goneH1980.
And their wordsH1697 pleasedH3190 HamorH2544, and ShechemH7927 Hamor'sH2544 sonH1121.
And the young manH5288 deferredH309 not to doH6213 the thingH1697, because he had delightH2654 in Jacob'sH3290 daughterH1323: and he was honoredH3513 above all the houseH1004 of his fatherH1.
And HamorH2544 and ShechemH7927 his sonH1121 cameH935 unto the gateH8179 of their cityH5892, and communedH1696 with the menH582 of their cityH5892, sayingH559,
These menH582 are peaceableH8003 withH854 us; therefore let them dwellH3427 in the landH776, and tradeH5503 therein; for, behold, the landH776 is largeH7342 enoughH3027 for themH6440; let us takeH3947 their daughtersH1323 to us for wivesH802, and let us giveH5414 them our daughtersH1323.
Only on this conditionH2063 will the menH582 consentH225 unto us to dwellH3427 with us, to become oneH259 peopleH5971, if every maleH2145 among us be circumcisedH4135, as they are circumcisedH4135.
Shall not their cattleH4735 and their substanceH7075 and all their beastsH929 be ours? only let us consentH225 unto them, and they will dwellH3427 with us.
And unto HamorH2544 and unto ShechemH7927 his sonH1121 hearkenedH8085 all that went outH3318 of the gateH8179 of his cityH5892; and every maleH2145 was circumcisedH4135, all that went outH3318 of the gateH8179 of his cityH5892.
And it came to pass on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, when they were soreH3510, that twoH8147 of the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290, SimeonH8095 and LeviH3878, Dinah'sH1783 brethrenH251, tookH3947 each manH376 his swordH2719, and cameH935 upon the cityH5892 unawaresH983, and slewH2026 all the malesH2145.
And they slewH2026 HamorH2544 and ShechemH7927 his sonH1121 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and tookH3947 DinahH1783 outH3318 of Shechem'sH7927 houseH1004, and went forthH3318.
The sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 cameH935 upon the slainH2491, and plunderedH962 the cityH5892, because they had defiledH2930 their sisterH269.
They tookH3947 their flocksH6629 and their herdsH1241 and their assesH2543, and that which was in the cityH5892, and that which was in the fieldH7704;
and all their wealthH2428, and all their little onesH2945 and their wivesH802, took they captiveH7617 and made a preyH962, even all that was in the houseH1004.
And JacobH3290 saidH559 to SimeonH8095 and LeviH3878, Ye have troubledH5916 me, to make me odious to the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, among the CanaanitesH3669 and the PerizzitesH6522: and, I being fewH4962 in numberH4557, they will gather themselves togetherH622 against meH5221 and smite meH5221; and I shall be destroyedH8045, I and my houseH1004.
And they saidH559, Should he dealH6213 with our sisterH269 as with a harlotH2181?
