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.

Now Dinah, Leah's daughter whom she bore to Jacob, went out to meet the young women 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 son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her and he grabbed her, assaulted her, and slept with 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.

He was drawn to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob. He loved the young woman and spoke tenderly to her.

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 this young woman for me 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. His sons were with his livestock in the field, so 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 speak 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 of the matter. The men were offended. They were very angry because he had disgraced Israel by forcing himself on Jacob's daughter, for such a thing should not have been 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 spoke with them, saying, “My son Shechem loves 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.

Intermarry 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 will live with us, and the land will be open to you to live and trade in, and to acquire property.”

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 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 for as great a bride price and gift as you will, and I will give whatever you say to me, but give me the young woman 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, because Shechem 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.

They said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to anyone who is uncircumcised; for that would be a disgrace 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 agree with you: If you will become circumcised as we are, if every male among you is 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 ourselves, and we will live with you and 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 do not listen to us and become circumcised, then we will take our sister and we will leave.”

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 his son Shechem.

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 delay to do what they said, because he delighted in Jacob's daughter, and because he was the most honored person in all his father's household.

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 went to the gate of their city and spoke 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 at peace with us, so let them live in the land and trade in it for, really, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters as wives, and let us 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 agree to live with us and 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 property—all their animals be ours? So let us agree with them, and they will live among 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 the men of the city listened to Hamor and Shechem, his son. Every male was circumcised.

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 still in pain, two of the sons of Jacob (Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers), each took his sword and they attacked the city that was certain of its security, and they 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 his son Shechem with the edge of the sword. They took Dinah from 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.

The other sons of Jacob came to the dead bodies and looted the city, because the people 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, and everything in the city and in the surrounding fields with

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.

all their wealth. All their children and their wives, they captured. They even took everything 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.

Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble on me, to make me stink to the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. If they gather themselves together against me and attack me, then I will be destroyed, I and my household.”

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

But Simeon and Levi said, “Should Shechem have dealt with our sister as with a prostitute?”
