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.
And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; but his sons were with his cattle in the fields, and Jacob said nothing until they came.
6 And he went out Hamor [the] father of Shechem to Jacob to speak with him.
And Hamor the father of Shechem came out to Jacob, to speak to him.

And make marriages with us: give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to you.
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.
And dwell with us, and the land shall be before you: dwell and trade in it, and get yourselves 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.
And Shechem said to her father and to her brethren, Let me find favour in your eyes; and what ye shall say to 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.
Impose on me very much as dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say to me; but give me the maiden as 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.
And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and spoke — because he had defiled Dinah their sister —

and said to them, We cannot do this, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that [were] 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.
But only in this will we consent to you, if ye will be as we, 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 take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and be 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 ye do not hearken to us, to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter and go away.
18 And they were good words their in [the] eyes of Hamor and in [the] eyes of Shechem [the] son of Hamor.
And their words were good in the eyes of 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.
And the youth did not delay to do this, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter. And he was honourable above all in 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.
And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke to 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 peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade in it. And the land — behold, it is of wide extent before them. We will take their daughters as wives, and 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.
But only in this will the men consent to us to dwell with us, to be one people — if every male among us be circumcised, just 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.
Their cattle, and their possessions, and every beast of theirs, shall they not be ours? only let us 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.
And all that went out at the gate of his city hearkened to Hamor and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised — all that went out at the gate of his city.

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 brethren, took each his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.

And Hamor and Shechem his son they slew with the edge of the sword; and took Dinah out of Shechem's house; and went out.
27 [the] sons of Jacob they came on the [ones] slain and they plundered the city that people had defiled sister their.
The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, 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.
Their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and what [was] in the city, and what [was] in the field they took;
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 goods, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and plundered them, and all that was in the houses.

And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me, in that ye make me odious among the inhabitants of the land — among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and I am few men in number, and they will gather themselves against me and smite me, and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
31 And they said ¿ like a prostitute will he use sister our.
And they said, Should people deal with our sister as with a harlot?
