Genesis 34:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 Now Dinah, Leah's daughter whom she bore to Jacob, went to meet the young women of the land.
2 When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, who ruled that area, saw her, he grabbed her, forced himself on her, and sexually assaulted her.
3 Then he became very attached to Dinah, Jacob's daughter. He fell in love with the young woman and spoke romantically to her.
4 Shechem said to his father Hamor, "Acquire this young girl as my wife."
5 When Jacob heard that Shechem had violated his daughter Dinah, his sons were with the livestock in the field. So Jacob remained silent until they came in.
6 Then Shechem's father Hamor went to speak with Jacob about Dinah.
7 Now Jacob's sons had come in from the field when they heard the news. They were offended and very angry because Shechem had disgraced Israel by sexually assaulting Jacob's daughter, a crime that should not be committed.
8 But Hamor made this appeal to them: "My son Shechem is in love with your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.
9 Intermarry with us. Let us marry your daughters, and take our daughters as wives for yourselves.
10 You may live among us, and the land will be open to you. Live in it, travel freely in it, and acquire property in it."
11 Then Shechem said to Dinah's father and brothers, "Let me find favor in your sight, and whatever you require of me I'll give.
12 You can make the bride price and the gift I must bring very expensive, and I'll give whatever you ask of me. Just give me the young woman as my wife!"
13 Jacob's sons answered Shechem and his father Hamor deceitfully when they spoke because Shechem had violated their sister Dinah.
14 They said to them, "We cannot give our sister to a man who is not circumcised, for it would be a disgrace to us.
15 We will give you our consent on this one condition: You must become like us by circumcising all your males.
16 Then we will give you our daughters to marry, and we will take your daughters as wives for ourselves, and we will live among you and become one people.
17 But if you do not agree to our terms by being circumcised, then we will take our sister and depart."
18 Their offer pleased Hamor and his son Shechem.
19 The young man did not delay in doing what they asked because he wanted Jacob's daughter Dinah badly. (Now he was more important than anyone in his father's household.)
20 So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city and spoke to the men of their city,
21 "These men are at peace with us. So let them live in the land and travel freely in it, for the land is wide enough for them. We will take their daughters for wives, and we will give them our daughters to marry.
22 Only on this one condition will these men consent to live with us and become one people: They demand that every male among us be circumcised just as they are circumcised.
23 If we do so, won't their livestock, their property, and all their animals become ours? So let's consent to their demand, so they will live among us."
24 All the men who assembled at the city gate agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem. Every male who assembled at the city gate was circumcised.
25 In three days, when they were still in pain, two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword and went to the unsuspecting city and slaughtered every male.
26 They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the sword, took Dinah from Shechem's house, and left.
27 Jacob's sons killed them and looted the city because their sister had been violated.
28 They took their flocks, herds, and donkeys, as well as everything in the city and in the surrounding fields.
29 They captured as plunder all their wealth, all their little ones, and their wives, including everything in the houses.
30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have brought ruin on me by making me a foul odor among the inhabitants of the land� among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number; they will join forces against me and attack me, and both I and my family will be destroyed!"
31 But Simeon and Levi replied, "Should he treat our sister like a common prostitute?"
1 And Dinah H1783 the daughter H1323 of Leah, H3812 which H834 she bore H3205 unto Jacob, H3290 went out H3318 to see H7200 the daughters H1323 of the land. H776
2 And when Shechem H7928 the son H1121 of Hamor H2544 the Hivite, H2340 prince H5387 of the country, H776 saw H7200 her , he took H3947 her , and lay with H7901 her , and defiled H6031 her.
3 And his soul H5315 cleaved H1692 unto Dinah H1783 the daughter H1323 of Jacob, H3290 and he loved H157 H853 the damsel, H5291 and spoke H1696 kindly H5921 H3820 unto the damsel. H5291
4 And Shechem H7928 spoke H559 unto H413 his father H1 Hamor, H2544 saying, H559 Get H3947 me H853 this H2063 damsel H3207 to wife. H802
5 And Jacob H3290 heard H8085 that H3588 he had defiled H2930 H853 Dinah H1783 his daughter: H1323 now his sons H1121 were H1961 with H854 his cattle H4735 in the field: H7704 and Jacob H3290 held his peace H2790 until H5704 they were come. H935
6 And Hamor H2544 the father H1 of Shechem H7927 went out H3318 unto H413 Jacob H3290 to commune H1696 with H854 him.
7 And the sons H1121 of Jacob H3290 came H935 out of H4480 the field H7704 when they heard H8085 it : and the men H376 were grieved, H6087 and they were very wroth H2734 H3966 , because H3588 he had wrought H6213 folly H5039 in Israel H3478 in lying with H7901 H853 Jacob's H3290 daughter; H1323 which thing H3651 ought not H3808 to be done. H6213
8 And Hamor H2544 communed H1696 with H854 them, saying, H559 The soul H5315 of my son H1121 Shechem H7928 longeth H2836 for your daughter: H1323 I pray you H4994 give H5414 her him to wife. H802
9 And make ye marriages H2859 with H854 us, and give H5414 your daughters H1323 unto us , and take H3947 our daughters H1323 unto you.
10 And ye shall dwell H3427 with H854 us : and the land H776 shall be H1961 before H6440 you; dwell H3427 and trade H5503 ye therein , and get you possessions H270 therein.
11 And Shechem H7928 said H559 unto H413 her father H1 and unto H413 her brethren, H251 Let me find H4672 grace H2580 in your eyes, H5869 and what H834 ye shall say H559 unto H413 me I will give. H5414
12 Ask H7235 H5921 me never so much H3966 dowry H4119 and gift, H4976 and I will give H5414 according as H834 ye shall say H559 unto H413 me : but give H5414 me H853 the damsel H5291 to wife. H802
13 And the sons H1121 of Jacob H3290 answered H6030 H853 Shechem H7928 and Hamor H2544 his father H1 deceitfully, H4820 and said, H1696 because H834 he had defiled H2930 H853 Dinah H1783 their sister: H269
14 And they said H559 unto H413 them , We cannot H3808 H3201 do H6213 this H2088 thing, H1697 to give H5414 H853 our sister H269 to one H376 that H834 is uncircumcised; H6190 for H3588 that H1931 were a reproach H2781 unto us:
15 But H389 in this H2063 will we consent H225 unto you: If H518 ye will be H1961 as we be , that every H3605 male H2145 of you be circumcised; H4135
16 Then will we give H5414 H853 our daughters H1323 unto you , and we will take H3947 your daughters H1323 to us , and we will dwell H3427 with H854 you , and we will become H1961 one H259 people. H5971
17 But if H518 ye will not H3808 hearken H8085 unto H413 us , to be circumcised; H4135 then will we take H3947 H853 our daughter, H1323 and we will be gone. H1980
18 And their words H1697 pleased H3190 H5869 Hamor, H2544 and Shechem H7928 Hamor's H2544 son. H1121
19 And the young man H5288 deferred H309 not H3808 to do H6213 the thing, H1697 because H3588 he had delight H2654 in Jacob's H3290 daughter: H1323 and he H1931 was more honorable H3513 than all H4480 H3605 the house H1004 of his father. H1
20 And Hamor H2544 and Shechem H7928 his son H1121 came H935 unto H413 the gate H8179 of their city, H5892 and communed H1696 with H413 the men H376 of their city, H5892 saying, H559
21 These H428 men H376 are peaceable H8003 with H854 us ; therefore let them dwell H3427 in the land, H776 and trade H5503 therein ; for the land, H776 behold, H2009 it is large enough H7342 H3027 for H6440 them ; let us take H3947 H853 their daughters H1323 to us for wives, H802 and let us give H5414 them our daughters. H1323
22 Only H389 herein H2063 will the men H376 consent H225 unto us for to dwell H3427 with H854 us , to be H1961 one H259 people, H5971 if every H3605 male H2145 among us be circumcised, H4135 as H834 they H1992 are circumcised. H4135
23 Shall not H3808 their cattle H4735 and their substance H7075 and every H3605 beast H929 of theirs be ours? only H389 let us consent H225 unto them , and they will dwell H3427 with H854 us.
24 And unto H413 Hamor H2544 and unto H413 Shechem H7928 his son H1121 hearkened H8085 all H3605 that went out H3318 of the gate H8179 of his city; H5892 and every H3605 male H2145 was circumcised, H4135 all H3605 that went out H3318 of the gate H8179 of his city. H5892
25 And it came to pass H1961 on the third H7992 day, H3117 when they were H1961 sore, H3510 that two H8147 of the sons H1121 of Jacob, H3290 Simeon H8095 and Levi, H3878 Dinah's H1783 brethren, H251 took H3947 each man H376 his sword, H2719 and came H935 upon H5921 the city H5892 boldly, H983 and slew H2026 all H3605 the males. H2145
26 And they slew H2026 Hamor H2544 and Shechem H7928 his son H1121 with the edge H6310 of the sword, H2719 and took H3947 H853 Dinah H1783 out of Shechem's H7928 house H4480 H1004 , and went out. H3318
27 The sons H1121 of Jacob H3290 came H935 upon H5921 the slain, H2491 and spoiled H962 the city, H5892 because H834 they had defiled H2930 their sister. H269
28 They took H3947 H853 their sheep, H6629 and their oxen, H1241 and their asses, H2543 and that which H834 was in the city, H5892 and that which H834 was in the field, H7704
29 And all H3605 their wealth, H2428 and all H3605 their little ones, H2945 and their wives H802 took they captive, H7617 and spoiled H962 even all H3605 that H834 was in the house. H1004
30 And Jacob H3290 said H559 to H413 Simeon H8095 and Levi, H3878 Ye have troubled H5916 me to make me to stink H887 among the inhabitants H3427 of the land, H776 among the Canaanites H3669 and the Perizzites: H6522 and I H589 being few H4962 in number, H4557 they shall gather themselves together H622 against H5921 me , and slay H5221 me ; and I shall be destroyed, H8045 I H589 and my house. H1004
31 And they said, H559 Should he deal with H6213 H853 our sister H269 as with an harlot H2181 ?
