1 And she went out Dinah [the] daughter of Leah whom she had borne to Jacob to look on [the] daughters of the land.

Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.

2 And he saw her Shechem [the] son of Hamor the Hivite [the] chief of the land and he took her and he lay with with her and he humiliated her.

Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her.

3 And it cleaved self his to Dinah [the] daughter of Jacob and he loved the girl and he spoke to [the] heart of the girl.

His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.

4 And he said Shechem to Hamor father his saying get for me the girl this to a wife.

Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, “Get me this young lady as a wife.”

5 And Jacob he heard that he had defiled Dinah daughter his and sons his they were with livestock his in the field and he kept silent Jacob until came they.

Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob held his peace until they came.

6 And he went out Hamor [the] father of Shechem to Jacob to speak with him.

Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to talk with him.

7 And [the] sons of Jacob they came from the field when heard they and they were indignant the men and it burned to them exceedingly for a disgraceful folly he had done in Israel by lying with [the] daughter of Jacob and thus not it is done.

The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. The men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had done folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter, a thing that ought not to be done.

8 And he spoke Hamor with them saying Shechem son my it loves self his daughter your give please her to him to a wife.

Hamor talked with them, saying, “The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.

9 And intermarry with with us daughters your you will give to us and daughters our you will take for yourselves.

Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.

10 And with us you will dwell and the land it will be before you dwell and go about in it and have possessions in it.

You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it.”

11 And he said Shechem to father her and to brothers her let me find favor in view your and [that] which you will say to me I will give.

Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you will tell me I will give.

12 Increase on me exceedingly a bride price and a gift so let me give [it] just as you will say to me and give to me the girl to a wife.

Ask me a great amount for a dowry, and I will give whatever you ask of me, but give me the young lady as a wife.”

13 And they answered [the] sons of Jacob Shechem and Hamor father his with deceit and they spoke that he had defiled Dinah sister their.

The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit when they spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,

14 And they said to them not we are able to do the thing this to give sister our to a man whom [belongs] to him a foreskin for [is] a reproach it to us.

and said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us.

15 Only in this we will agree to you if you will be like us by being circumcised of you every male.

Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised,

16 And we will give daughters our to you and daughters your we will take for ourselves and we will dwell with you and we will become a people one.

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 And if not you will listen to us by being circumcised and we will take daughter our and we will go.

But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our sister, and we will be gone.”

18 And they were good words their in [the] eyes of Hamor and in [the] eyes of Shechem [the] son of Hamor.

Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.

19 And not he delayed the young man to do the thing for he delighted in [the] daughter of Jacob and he [was] honored more than all [the] household of father his.

The young man did not wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter, and he was honored above all the house of his father.

20 And he went Hamor and Shechem son his to [the] gate of city their and they spoke to [the] men of city their saying.

Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying,

21 The men these [are] at peace they with us and let them dwell in the land and let them go about in it and the land there! [is] broad of both hands before them daughters their we will take for ourselves to wives and daughters our we will give to them.

“These men are peaceful with us. Therefore let them live in the land and trade in it. For behold, the land is large enough for them. Let’s take their daughters to us for wives, and let’s give them our daughters.

22 Only in this they will agree to us the men to dwell with us to become a people one when has been circumcised of us every male just as they [are] circumcised.

Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people, if every male among us is circumcised, as they are circumcised.

23 Livestock their and possession[s] their and all animal[s] their ¿ not [belong] to us [will] they only let us agree with them and let them dwell with us.

Will not their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let’s give our consent to them, and they will dwell with us.”

24 And they listened to Hamor and to Shechem son his all [those who] went out of [the] gate of city his and they were circumcised every male all [those who] went out of [the] gate of city his.

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.

25 And it was on the day third when were they in pain and they took two of [the] sons of Jacob Simeon and Levi [the] brothers of Dinah each sword his and they went on the city security and they killed every male.

On the third day, when they were sore, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword, came upon the unsuspecting city, and killed all the males.

26 And Hamor and Shechem son his they slew to [the] mouth of [the] sword and they took Dinah from [the] house of Shechem and they went out.

They killed Hamor and Shechem, his son, with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.

27 [the] sons of Jacob they came on the [ones] slain and they plundered the city that people had defiled sister their.

Jacob’s sons came on the dead, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.

28 Flock[s] their and herd[s] their and donkeys their and [that] which [was] in the city and [that] which [was] in the field they took.

They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field,

29 And all wealth their and all little one[s] their and wives their they took captive and they plundered and all that [was] in the house.

and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the house.

30 And he said Jacob to Simeon and to Levi you have troubled me by making odious me among [the] inhabitant[s] of the land among the Canaanite[s] and among the Perizzite[s] and I [am] men of number and they will gather on me and they will attack me and I will be destroyed I and household my.

Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and strike me, and I will be destroyed, I and my house.”

31 And they said ¿ like a prostitute will he use sister our.

They said, “Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?”
