Genesis 34

1 One day Dinah, the daughter of Jacob and Leah, went to visit some of the women in that area.

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

2 Shechem, one of the sons of Hamor, the ruler of that area who was descended from the Hiv people-group, saw her. He wanted her. So he grabbed her and forced her to have sex [EUP] with him.

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.

3 He [SYN] was very much attracted to her, and fell in love with her, and he tried to get her to love him.

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.

4 So Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Please get this girl for me. I want her to become my wife!”

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

5 Jacob very soon found out that his daughter Dinah had been disgraced/defiled. But his sons were in the fields with his livestock, so he did nothing about it until they returned home.

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.

6 In the meantime, Shechem’s father Hamor went to talk with Jacob.

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

7 While they were still talking, Jacob’s sons came in from the field. When they found out what had happened, they were shocked and very angry. They said, “Shechem has done something that is very disgraceful among us Israeli people, something that never should be done!”

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.

8 But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem really likes this girl. Please allow him to marry her.

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

9 Let’s make an agreement: You will give your daughters to our young men to be their wives, and we will give our daughters to your young men to be their wives.

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

10 You can live among us, and live anywhere in our land that you wish. You can buy and sell things (OR, travel around) and if you find land that you want, then you can buy it.”

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.

11 Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “If you feel good toward me and do what I am asking for, I will give you whatever you ask for.

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.

12 Tell me what gifts you want and what bride price you want, and I will give you what you ask for. I just want you to give the girl to me to be my wife.”

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.

13 But because Shechem had done a shameful thing to their sister Dinah, the sons of Jacob deceived Shechem and his father Hamor

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

14 by saying to them, “No, we cannot do that. We cannot give our sister to be the wife of a man who is not circumcised, because that would be a shameful thing for us to do.

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.

15 We will do that only if you do one thing: You must become like us by circumcising all the males that are among you.

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

16 Then we will give our daughters to your young men to be your wives, and we will take your daughters to be the wives of our young men. We will live among you, and we will become one people-group.

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.

17 But if you will not agree to being circumcised, we will take our sister and go back to our land.”

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

18 What they said pleased Hamor and his son Shechem.

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

19 Shechem was very much in love with Jacob’s daughter, so he quickly agreed to do what they suggested.

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.

20 Shechem went with Hamor to the meeting place near the city gate, and they spoke to the city leaders, saying,

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

21 “These men are friendly toward us. We should let them live here and travel around (OR, buy and sell things) and if they find land that they want, they can buy it. There is plenty of land for them to live here. Our young men can marry their daughters, and their young men can marry our daughters.

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.

22 But these men will agree to live among us and become one people-group with us only if all our males are circumcised, as they are.

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.

23 But if we do that, just think! Their livestock and their possessions and their other animals will become ours [RHQ]! So we should agree to do what they suggest, and then they will live among us!”

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.

24 Shechem was the most respected person in his father’s household, so all the men who were there at the city gate agreed to what Hamor and Shechem suggested. So every male in the city was circumcised.

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.

25 On the third day after that, when the men of the city were still sore because of being circumcised, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, who were Dinah’s brothers, took their swords and entered the city without anyone opposing them, and killed all the men.

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.

26 They even killed Hamor and his son Shechem. Then they took Dinah out of Shechem’s house and left the city.

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.

27 Then the other sons of Jacob went into the city where all those dead bodies were. They (looted/took everything in) the city to get revenge for the shameful thing that had been done to their sister.

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

28 They took away the people’s sheep and goats, their cattle, their donkeys, and everything else that they wanted from inside the city and from out in the countryside.

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.

29 They took away everything that was valuable, even the children and the women. They seized and took away everything that was in the houses.

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.

30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have caused a lot of trouble for me! Now the Canaan people-group and the Perizzi people-group and everyone else who lives in this land will (hate me/say my name stinks)! I do not have many men to fight for us, so if they all gather together and come to me and attack us, they will destroy us and all our household!”

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.

31 But they replied, “(Should we have allowed Shechem to treat our sister like a prostitute?/We could not just let Shechem treat our sister like a prostitute!)” [RHQ]

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