< Genesis 34 >

1 And Dina, the daughter of Lea, whom she bore to Jacob, went forth to observe the daughters of the inhabitants.
And she went out Dinah [the] daughter of Leah whom she had borne to Jacob to look on [the] daughters of the land.
2 And Sychem the son of Emmor the Evite, the ruler of the land, saw her, and took her and lay with her, and humbled her.
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 And he was attached to the soul of Dina the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and he spoke kindly to the damsel.
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 Sychem spoke to Emmor his father, saying, Take for me this damsel to wife.
And he said Shechem to Hamor father his saying get for me the girl this to a wife.
5 And Jacob heard that the son of Emmor had defiled Dina his daughter (now his sons were with his cattle in the plain). And Jacob was silent until they came.
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 And Emmor the father of Sychem went forth to Jacob, to speak to him.
And he went out Hamor [the] father of Shechem to Jacob to speak with him.
7 And the sons of Jacob came from the plain; and when they heard, the men were deeply pained, and it was very grievous to them, because [the man] wrought folly in Israel, having lain with the daughter of Jacob, and so it must not be.
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 And Emmor spoke to them, saying, Sychem my son has chosen in his heart your daughter; give her therefore to him for a wife,
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 and intermarry with us. Give us your daughters, and take our daughters for your sons.
And intermarry with with us daughters your you will give to us and daughters our you will take for yourselves.
10 And dwell in the midst of us; and, behold, the land is spacious before you, dwell in it, and trade, and get possessions in 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 And Sychem said to her father and to her brothers, I would find grace before you, and we will give whatever you shall name.
And he said Shechem to father her and to brothers her let me find favor in eyes your and [that] which you will say to me I will give.
12 Multiply [your demand of] dowry very much, and I will give accordingly as you shall say to me, only you shall give me this damsel for a 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 And the sons of Jacob answered to Sychem and Emmor his father craftily, and spoke to them, because they had defiled Dina their sister.
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 And Symeon and Levi, the brothers of Dina, said to them, We shall not be able to do this thing, to give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised, for it is a reproach to us.
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 Only on these terms will we conform to you, and dwell among you, if you also will be as we are, in that every male of you be circumcised.
Only in this we will agree to you if you will be like us by being circumcised of you every male.
16 And we will give our daughters to you, and we will take of your daughters for wives to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will be as one race.
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 listen to us to be circumcised, we will take our daughter and depart.
And if not you will listen to us by being circumcised and we will take daughter our and we will go.
18 And the words pleased Emmor, and Sychem the son of Emmor.
And they were good words their in [the] eyes of Hamor and in [the] eyes of Shechem [the] son of Hamor.
19 And the young man delayed not to do this thing, for he was much attached to Jacob's daughter, and he was the most honorable of all in his father's house.
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 And Emmor and Sychem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, 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 peaceful, let them dwell with us upon the land, and let them trade in it, and behold the land is extensive before them; we will take their daughters to us for wives, and we will give them 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 Only on these terms will the men conform to us to dwell with us so as to be one people, if every male of us be circumcised, as they also are circumcised.
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 And shall not their cattle and their herds, and their possessions, be ours? only in this let us conform to them, and they will dwell with 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 And all that went in at the gate of their city listened to Emmor and Sychem his son, and they were circumcised in the flesh of their foreskin every male.
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 And it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, the two sons of Jacob, Symeon and Levi, Dina's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city securely, and killed every male.
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 And they killed Emmor and Sychem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dina out of the house of Sychem, and went forth.
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 But the sons of Jacob came upon the wounded, and ravaged the city wherein they had defiled Dina their sister.
[the] sons of Jacob they came on the [ones] slain and they plundered the city that people had defiled sister their.
28 And their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses they took, and all things whatever were in the city, and whatever were in the plain.
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 And they took captive all the persons of them, and all their store, and their wives, and plundered both whatever things there were in the city, and whatever things there were 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 And Jacob said to Symeon and Levi, You have made me hateful so that I should be evil to all the inhabitants of the land, both among the Chananites and the Pherezites, and I am few in number; they will gather themselves against me and cut me in pieces, and I shall be utterly destroyed, and my house.
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 And they said, Nay, but shall they treat our sister as an harlot?
And they said ¿ like a prostitute will he use sister our.
