1 Now Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the daughters of the land.
2 Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, chief of the country, saw her, and took her and lay with her and disgraced her.
3 Being strongly drawn to Dinah daughter of Jacob, and in love with the maiden, he spoke to the maiden tenderly.
4 So Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Get me this girl as a wife.”
5 Jacob heard that he had defiled his daughter Dinah; but since his sons were in the field with his cattle, Jacob kept silent until they came home.
6 Then Shechem’s father Hamor came out to Jacob to speak to him.
7 Meanwhile Jacob’s sons, having heard the news, came in from the field. They were distressed and very angry, because he had committed an outrage in Israel by lying with Jacob’s daughter—a thing not to be done.
8 And Hamor spoke with them, saying, “My son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him in marriage.
9 Intermarry with us: give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves:
10 You will dwell among us, and the land will be open before you; settle, move about, and acquire holdings in it.”
11 Then Shechem said to her father and brothers, “Do me this favor, and I will pay whatever you tell me.
12 Ask of me a bride-price ever so high, as well as gifts, and I will pay what you tell me; only give me the maiden for a wife.”
13 Jacob’s sons answered Shechem and his father Hamor—speaking with guile because he had defiled their sister Dinah—
14 And said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised, for that is a disgrace among us.
15 Only on this condition will we agree with you; that you will become like us in that every male among you is circumcised.
16 Then we will give our daughters to you and take your daughters to ourselves; and we will dwell among you and become as one kindred.
17 But if you will not listen to us and become circumcised, we will take our daughter and go.”
18 Their words pleased Hamor and Hamor’s son Shechem.
19 And the youth lost no time in doing the thing, for he wanted Jacob’s daughter. Now he was the most respected in his father’s house.
20 So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the public place of their town and spoke to their fellow townsmen, saying,
21 “These people are our friends; let them settle in the land and move about in it, for the land is large enough for them; we will take their daughters to ourselves as wives and give our daughters to them.
22 But only on this condition will they agree with us to dwell among us and be as one kindred: that all our males become circumcised as they are circumcised.
23 Their cattle and substance and all their other animals will be ours, if we only agree to their terms, so that they will settle among us.”
24 All his fellow townsmen heeded Hamor and his son Shechem, and all males, all his fellow townsmen, were circumcised.
25 On the third day, when they were in pain, Simeon and Levi, two of Jacob’s sons, brothers of Dinah, took each his sword, came upon the city unmolested, and slew all the males.
26 They put Hamor and his son Shechem to the sword, took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.
27 The other sons of Jacob came upon the slain and plundered the town, because their sister had been defiled.
28 They seized their flocks and herds and donkeys, all that was inside the town and outside;
29 All their wealth, all their children, and their wives, all that was in the houses, they took as captives and booty.
30 Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble on me, making me odious among the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the Perizzites; my men are few in number, so that if they unite against me and attack me, I and my house will be destroyed.”
31 But they answered, “Should our sister be treated like a whore?”
