Genesis 34

1 And Dinah, daughter of Leah, whom she hath borne to Jacob, goeth out 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 Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, a prince of the land, seeth her, and taketh her, and lieth with her, and humbleth 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 his soul cleaveth to Dinah, daughter of Jacob, and he loveth the young person, and speaketh unto the heart of the young person.

and his harte laye vnto Dina ye doughter of Iacob. And he loued yt damsell and spake kidly vnto her

4 And Shechem speaketh unto Hamor his father, saying, 'Take for me this damsel for a wife.'

and spake vnto his father Hemor saynge gett me this mayde vnto my wyfe.

5 And Jacob hath heard that he hath defiled Dinah his daughter, and his sons were with his cattle in the field, and Jacob kept silent till their coming.

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 Hamor, father of Shechem, goeth out unto 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 came in from the field when they heard, and the men grieve themselves, and it [is] very displeasing to them, for folly he hath done against Israel, to lie with the daughter of Jacob — and so it is not 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 Hamor speaketh with them, saying, 'Shechem, my son, his soul hath cleaved to your daughter; give her, I pray you, to him for 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 join ye in marriage with us; your daughters ye give to us, and our daughters ye take to yourselves,

and make mariages with vs: geue youre doughters vnto vs ad take oure doughters vnto you

10 and with us ye dwell, and the land is before you; dwell ye and trade [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 Shechem saith unto her father, and unto her brethren, 'Let me find grace in your eyes, and that which ye say unto me, I 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 multiply on me exceedingly dowry and gift, and I give as ye say unto me, and give to me the young person for 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 the sons of Jacob answer Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and they speak (because he defiled Dinah their sister),

Then the sonnes of Iacob answered to Sichem ad Hemor his father deceytefully because he had defyled Dina their syster.

14 and say unto them, 'We are not able to do this thing, to give our sister to one who hath a foreskin: for it [is] a reproach 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 for this we consent to you; if ye be as we, to have every male of you circumcised,

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 then we have given our daughters to you, and your daughters we take to ourselves, and we have dwelt with you, and have become one people;

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 ye hearken not unto us to be circumcised, then we have taken our daughter, and have gone.'

But and yf ye will not harken vnto vs to be circumcysed than will we take oure doughter and goo oure wayes.

18 And their words are good in the eyes of Hamor, and in the eyes of Shechem, Hamor's son;

And their wordes pleased Hemor and Sichem his sonne.

19 and the young man delayed not to do the thing, for he had delight in Jacob's daughter, and he is honourable above all the house of his father.

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 Hamor cometh — Shechem his son also — unto the gate of their city, and they speak unto the men of their city, saying,

Tha Hemor and Sichem went vnto the gate of their cyte and comened with the men of their cyte sayncte.

21 'These men are peaceable with us; then let them dwell in the land, and trade [in] it; and the land, lo, [is] wide before them; their daughters let us take to ourselves for wives, and our daughters 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 for this do the men consent to us, to dwell with us, to become one people, in every male of us being circumcised, 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 their cattle, and their substance, and all their beasts — are they not ours? only let us consent to them, and they 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 unto Hamor, and unto Shechem his son, hearken do all those going out of the gate of his city, and every male is circumcised, all those going out of the gate of his city.

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 cometh to pass, on the third day, in their being pained, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, take each his sword, and come in against the city confidently, and slay 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 his son, they have slain by the mouth of the sword, and they take Dinah out of Shechem's house, and go 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 Jacob's sons have come in upon the wounded, and they spoil the city, because they had defiled their sister;

Than came the sonnes of Iacob vpon the deede and spoyled the cyte because they had defyled their sister:

28 their flock and their herd, and their asses, and that which [is] in the city, and that which [is] in the field, have they taken;

and toke their shepe oxen asses and what so euer was in the cyte and also in ye feldes

29 and all their wealth, and all their infants, and their wives they have taken captive, and they spoil also all that [is] 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 Jacob saith unto Simeon and unto Levi, 'Ye have troubled me, by causing me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanite, and among the Perizzite: and I [am] few in number, and they have been gathered against me, and have smitten me, and I have been destroyed, I and my house.'

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 say, 'As a harlot doth he make our sister?'

And they answered: shuld they deall with oure sister as wyth an whoore?
