And Dinah
<01783>

the daughter
<01323>

<03812>_,

which she bare
<03205> (8804)

unto Jacob
<03290>_,

went out
<03318> (8799)

to see
<07200> (8800)

the daughters
<01323>

of the land
<0776>_.

34:2

And when Shechem
<07927>

the son
<01121>

of Hamor
<02544>

the Hivite
<02340>_,

prince
<05387>

of the country
<0776>_,

saw
<07200> (8799)

her, he took
<03947> (8799)

her, and lay
<07901> (8799)

with her, and defiled her
<06031> (8762)_.

{defiled...: Heb. humbled her}

34:3

And his soul
<05315>

clave
<01692> (8799)

unto Dinah
<01783>

the daughter
<01323>

and he loved
<0157> (8799)

the damsel
<05291>_,

and spake
<01696> (8762)

kindly
<03820>

unto the damsel
<05291>_.

{kindly...: Heb. to the heart of the damsel}

34:4

And Shechem
<07927>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto his father
<01>

Hamor
<02544>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Get
<03947> (8798)

me this damsel
<03207>

to wife
<0802>_.

34:5

And Jacob
<03290>

heard
<08085> (8804)

that he had defiled
<02930> (8765)

Dinah
<01783>

his daughter
<01323>_:

now his sons
<01121>

were with his cattle
<04735>

in the field
<07704>_:

and Jacob
<03290>

held his peace
<02790> (8689)

until they were come
<0935> (8800)_.

34:6

And Hamor
<02544>

the father
<01>

of Shechem
<07927>

went out
<03318> (8799)

unto Jacob
<03290>

to commune
<01696> (8763)

with
<0854>

him.

34:7

And the sons
<01121>

of Jacob
<03290>

came
<0935> (8804)

out of the field
<07704>

when they heard
<08085> (8800)

[it]: and the men
<0582>

were grieved
<06087> (8691)_,

and they were very
<03966>

wroth
<02734> (8799)_,

because he had wrought
<06213> (8804)

folly
<05039>

in Israel
<03478>

in lying
<07901> (8800)

with Jacob's
<03290>

daughter
<01323>_;

which thing ought not to be done
<06213> (8735)_.

34:8

And Hamor
<02544>

communed
<01696> (8762)

with them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The soul
<05315>

of my son
<01121>

Shechem
<07927>

longeth
<02836> (8804)

for your daughter
<01323>_:

I pray you give
<05414> (8798)

her him to wife
<0802>_.

34:9

And make ye marriages
<02859> (8690)

with us, [and] give
<05414> (8799)

your daughters
<01323>

unto us, and take
<03947> (8799)

our daughters
<01323>

unto you.

34:10

And ye shall dwell
<03427> (8799)

with us: and the land
<0776>

shall be
<01961> (8799)

before you
<06440>_;

dwell
<03427> (8798)

and trade
<05503> (8804)

ye therein, and get you possessions
<0270> (8734)

therein.

34:11

And Shechem
<07927>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her father
<01>

and unto her brethren
<0251>_,

Let me find
<04672> (8799)

grace
<02580>

in your eyes
<05869>_,

and what ye shall say
<0559> (8799)

unto me I will give
<05414> (8799)_.

34:12

Ask
<07235> (8685)

me never so much
<03966>

dowry
<04119>

and gift
<04976>_,

and I will give
<05414> (8799)

according as ye shall say
<0559> (8799)

unto me: but give
<05414> (8798)

me the damsel
<05291>

to wife
<0802>_.

34:13

And the sons
<01121>

of Jacob
<03290>

answered
<06030> (8799)

Shechem
<07927>

and Hamor
<02544>

his father
<01>

deceitfully
<04820>_,

and said
<01696> (8762)_,

because he had defiled
<02930> (8765)

Dinah
<01783>

their sister
<0269>_:

34:14

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, We cannot
<03808> <03201> (8799)

do
<06213> (8800)

this thing
<01697>_,

to give
<05414> (8800)

our sister
<0269>

to one
<0376>

that is uncircumcised
<06190>_;

for that [were] a reproach
<02781>

unto us:

34:15

But in this
<02063>

will we consent
<0225> (8735)

unto you: If ye will be as we [be], that every male
<02145>

of you be circumcised
<04135> (8736)_;

34:16

Then will we give
<05414> (8804)

our daughters
<01323>

unto you, and we will take
<03947> (8799)

your daughters
<01323>

to us, and we will dwell
<03427> (8804)

with you, and we will become one
<0259>

people
<05971>_.

34:17

But if ye will not hearken
<08085> (8799)

unto us, to be circumcised
<04135> (8736)_;

then will we take
<03947> (8804)

our daughter
<01323>_,

and we will be gone
<01980> (8804)_.

34:18

And their words
<01697>

pleased
<03190> (8799) <05869>

Hamor
<02544>_,

and Shechem
<07927>

Hamor's
<02544>

son
<01121>_.

34:19

And the young man
<05288>

deferred
<0309> (8765)

not to do
<06213> (8800)

the thing
<01697>_,

because he had delight
<02654> (8804)

in Jacob's
<03290>

daughter
<01323>_:

and he [was] more honourable
<03513> (8737)

than all the house
<01004>

of his father
<01>_.

34:20

And Hamor
<02544>

and Shechem
<07927>

his son
<01121>

came
<0935> (8799)

unto the gate
<08179>

of their city
<05892>_,

and communed
<01696> (8762)

with the men
<0582>

of their city
<05892>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

34:21

These men
<0582>

[are] peaceable
<08003>

with
<0854>

us; therefore let them dwell
<03427> (8799)

in the land
<0776>_,

and trade
<05503> (8799)

therein; for the land
<0776>_,

behold, [it is] large
<07342>

enough
<03027>

for them
<06440>_;

let us take
<03947> (8799)

their daughters
<01323>

to us for wives
<0802>_,

and let us give
<05414> (8799)

them our daughters
<01323>_.

34:22

Only herein
<02063>

will the men
<0582>

consent
<0225> (8735)

unto us for to dwell
<03427> (8800)

with us, to be one
<0259>

people
<05971>_,

if every male
<02145>

among us be circumcised
<04135> (8736)_,

as they [are] circumcised
<04135> (8737)_.
