< Genesis 34 >

1 And she went out Dinah [the] daughter of Leah whom she had borne to Jacob to look on [the] daughters of the land.
Dina the doughter of Lea which she bare vnto Iacob went out to see the doughters of the lande.
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.
And Siche the sonne of Hemor the Heuite lorde of the countre sawe her and toke her and laye with her and forced 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.
and his harte laye vnto Dina ye doughter of Iacob. And he loued yt damsell and spake kidly vnto her
4 And he said Shechem to Hamor father his saying get for me the girl this to a wife.
and spake vnto his father Hemor saynge gett me this mayde vnto my wyfe.
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 Iacob herde that he had defyled Dina his doughter but his sonnes were with the catell in the felde and therfore he helde his peace vntill they were come.
6 And he went out Hamor [the] father of Shechem to Jacob to speak with him.
Then Hemor the father of Sichem went out vnto Iacob to come 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.
And the sonnes of Iacob came out of the felde as soone as they herde it for it greued them and they were not a litle wrooth because he had wrought folie in Israell in that he had lyen with Iacobs doughter which thinge oughte 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.
And Hemor comened with the sainge? the soule of my sonne Siche logeth for youre doughter geue her him to wyfe
9 And intermarry with with us daughters your you will give to us and daughters our you will take for yourselves.
and make mariages with vs: geue youre doughters vnto vs ad take oure doughters vnto 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 vs and the lande shall be at youre pleasure dwell and do youre busynes and haue youre possessions there in.
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 Sichem sayde vnto hyr father and hir brethern: let me fynde grace in youre eyes and what soeuer ye apoynte me that will I geue.
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.
Axe frely of me both the dowry and gyftes and I will geue acordynge as ye saye vnto me and geue me the damsell to wyfe.
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.
Then the sonnes of Iacob answered to Sichem ad Hemor his father deceytefully because he had defyled Dina their syster.
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 they sayde vnto them we can not do this thinge yt we shulde geue oure syster to one that is vncircumcysed for that were a shame vnto us.
15 Only in this we will agree to you if you will be like us by being circumcised of you every male.
Only in this will we consent vnto you? Yf ye will be as we be that all the men childern amonge you be circumcysed
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.
tha will we geue oure doughter to you and take youres to vs and 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 and yf ye will not harken vnto vs to be circumcysed than will we take oure doughter and goo oure wayes.
18 And they were good words their in [the] eyes of Hamor and in [the] eyes of Shechem [the] son of Hamor.
And their wordes pleased Hemor and Sichem his sonne.
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 yonge man deferde not for to do the thinge because he had a lust to Iacobs doughter: he was also most sett by of all that were in his fathers house.
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.
Tha Hemor and Sichem went vnto the gate of their cyte and comened with the men of their cyte sayncte.
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 ar peasable with us and will dwell in the lade and do their occupatio therin And in the land is rowme ynough for the let us take their doughters to wyues and geue them oures:
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 herin will they consent vnto vs for to dwell with vs and to be one people: yf all the men childern that are amonge vs be circumcysed as they are.
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 goodes and their substance and all their catell are oures only let vs consente vnto them that they maye dwell with vs.
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 vnto Hemor and Sichem his sonneharkened all that went out at the gate of his cyte. And all the men childern were circumcysed what soeuer went out at the gates of his cyte.
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.
And the third daye when it was paynefull to them ij. of the sonnes of Iacob Simeon and Leui Dinas brethren toke ether of them his swerde and went in to the cyte boldly and slewe all yt was male
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.
and slewe also Hemor and Sichem his sonne with the edge of the swerde ad toke Dina their sister out of Sichems house and went their waye.
27 [the] sons of Jacob they came on the [ones] slain and they plundered the city that people had defiled sister their.
Than came the sonnes of Iacob vpon the deede and spoyled the cyte because they had defyled 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.
and toke their shepe oxen asses and what so euer was in the cyte and also in ye feldes
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 goodes all their childern and their wyues toke they captyue and made havock of all that was in the houses.
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.
And Iacob sayde to Simeon and Leui: ye haue troubled me ad made me styncke vnto the inhabitatours of the lande both to the Canaanytes and also vnto the Pherezites. And I am fewe in nombre. Wherfore they shall gather them selves together agaynst me and sley me and so shall I and my house be dystroyed.
31 And they said ¿ like a prostitute will he use sister our.
And they answered: shuld they deall with oure sister as wyth an whoore?
