Berean Standard Bible
And
Dinah, daughter of
Leah ,
whom
she
hath
borne to Jacob, goeth
out to look
on
the daughters of the land ,
Now
Dinah, the
daughter Leah had
borne to Jacob, went
out to visit
the daughters of the land .
and
Shechem ,
son of Hamor the Hivite, a
prince of the land
, seeth
her, and
taketh
her ,
and lieth
with her ,
and
humbleth
her;
When
Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, the
prince of the region
, saw
her, he
took
her and lay
with her by
force.
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 soul was
drawn
to Dinah, the
daughter of Jacob .
He loved
the young girl
and spoke
to
her
tenderly
.
And
Shechem speaketh
unto
Hamor
his father ,
saying
, `Take
for
me this damsel
for
a wife. '
So
Shechem told
his father Hamor
, “Get
me this girl
as
a wife. ”
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
.
Jacob heard that Shechem
had
defiled his daughter Dinah
, but
since
his sons were with his livestock
in the field, he
remained
silent about
it
until
they
returned
.
And
Hamor
, father of
Shechem,
goeth
out
unto
Jacob
to speak with him;
Meanwhile
, Shechem’s
father Hamor
came
to speak with Jacob.
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.
When
Jacob’s
sons heard
what
had
happened,
they
returned
from the field .
They were
filled
with
grief
and fury
, because
Shechem
had
committed
an
outrage
in
Israel by
lying
with Jacob’s
daughter —a
thing
that
should
not be
done.
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 ,
But
Hamor said
to
them, “
My son Shechem
longs
for
your daughter .
Please
give her to him as
his
wife .
and
join
ye
in
marriage
with us; your
daughters
ye
give to
us, and our daughters ye
take
to
yourselves ,
Intermarry
with us; give us your
daughters
, and take
our daughters for
yourselves .
and
with
us ye
dwell
, and the land is
before
you ;
dwell
ye
and
trade
`in'
it
, and have
possessions
in
it
. '
You
may
settle
among
us, and the land will
be
open
to
you .
Live
here
, move
about
freely,
and acquire
your
own
property
. ”
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 ;
Then
Shechem said
to
Dinah’s
father and brothers
, “Grant
me this
favor
, and I will
give you
whatever
you
ask.
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 .'
Demand
a
high
dowry and an
expensive
gift, and I will
give you
whatever
you
ask.
Only
give me the girl
as
my
wife !”
And
the
sons
of
Jacob
answer
Shechem
and
Hamor
his
father
deceitfully,
and
they
speak
(
because he
defiled Dinah
their sister )
,
But
because Shechem
had
defiled their sister Dinah
, Jacob’s
sons
answered
him
and
his
father
Hamor
deceitfully.
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.
“
We cannot
do such
a
thing, ”
they
said.
“
To give our sister to an
uncircumcised
man
would
be
a disgrace
to us.
`Only
for
this
we consent to you;
if
ye
be
as
we
, to
have
every
male
of
you circumcised ,
We will
consent to this
on
one
condition
, that
you become
circumcised like
us—every
one
of
your
males.
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 ;
Then we will
give
you
our daughters and take
your daughters for
ourselves .
We will
dwell
among
you and become one people .
and
if ye
hearken
not unto
us
to be circumcised, then we have
taken
our daughter,
and have
gone
. '
But
if you
will
not agree
to be circumcised, then we will
take
our sister
and go
. ”
And
their words
are
good in
the
eyes
of
Hamor ,
and in
the
eyes
of
Shechem,
Hamor's
son ;
Their offer
seemed
good to
Hamor and his
son Shechem.
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
.
The young man ,
who
was
the
most
respected
of
all
his
father’s
household,
did
not hesitate
to fulfill
this
request
, because
he was
delighted
with
Jacob’s
daughter.
And
Hamor cometh
--
Shechem
his son also
--
unto
the gate of their city ,
and they
speak
unto
the men of their city ,
saying,
So
Hamor and
his son Shechem
went
to
the gate of their city and addressed
the men of their city :
`
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 are at
peace
with us .
Let them live
and trade in our
land ;
indeed
, it
is large
enough
for
them .
Let us take their
daughters
in
marriage
and give
our daughters to them.
`
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;
But
only on
this condition
will
the men agree
to dwell with us and
be
one people :
if
all
our
men
are
circumcised as they are .
their cattle
, and
their substance
, and all their beasts
--
are
they
not
ours? only let us consent to them, and they dwell with
us. '
Will
not
their livestock
, their possessions
, and all their animals
become
ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will
dwell among
us. ”
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.
All the
men
who
went
out of the city
gate listened
to
Hamor
and
his son
Shechem
, and every male of the city was
circumcised
.
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 ;
Three
days
later
, while
they
were
still
in pain
, two of Jacob’s
sons (Dinah’s
brothers
Simeon and Levi )
took
their
swords
, went
into
the unsuspecting
city, and slaughtered
every male .
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
.
They
killed
Hamor and his son Shechem
with
their
swords
, took
Dinah out of Shechem’s
house, and went
away
.
Jacob's
sons have
come
in
upon the wounded,
and they
spoil
the city, because they
had
defiled
their sister ;
Jacob’s
other
sons came
upon the slaughter
and looted
the city, because their sister had
been
defiled.
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;
They
took
their flocks
and herds
and donkeys
, and everything
else
in the city or
in the field .
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
.
They
carried
off
all their possessions
and women
and children
, and they plundered
everything
in their
houses
.
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
. '
Then
Jacob said
to
Simeon and Levi, “You
have brought
trouble
upon
me by making
me a
stench
to the Canaanites
and Perizzites,
the people
of
this
land.
We
are
few in number ;
if
they unite
against me and attack
me, I and my household
will
be
destroyed
. ”
And
they say
, `As
a
harlot
doth
he make
our sister? '
But
they replied
, “Should
he have
treated
our sister like
a
prostitute
? ”
