Genesis 34:4-31

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)_.

34:23

[Shall] not their cattle
<04735>

and their substance
<07075>

and every beast
<0929>

of theirs [be] ours? only let us consent
<0225> (8735)

unto them, and they will dwell
<03427> (8799)

with us.

34:24

And unto Hamor
<02544>

and unto Shechem
<07927>

his son
<01121>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

all that went out
<03318> (8802)

of the gate
<08179>

of his city
<05892>_;

and every male
<02145>

was circumcised
<04135> (8735)_,

all that went out
<03318> (8802)

of the gate
<08179>

of his city
<05892>_.

34:25

And it came to pass on the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_,

when they were sore
<03510> (8802)_,

that two
<08147>

of the sons
<01121>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

Simeon
<08095>

and Levi
<03878>_,

Dinah's
<01783>

brethren
<0251>_,

took
<03947> (8799)

each man
<0376>

his sword
<02719>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

upon the city
<05892>

boldly
<0983>_,

and slew
<02026> (8799)

all the males
<02145>_.

34:26

And they slew
<02026> (8804)

Hamor
<02544>

and Shechem
<07927>

his son
<01121>

with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_,

and took
<03947> (0)

Dinah
<01783>

out
<03947> (8799)

of Shechem's
<07927>

house
<01004>_,

and went out
<03318> (8799)_.

{edge: Heb. mouth}

34:27

The sons
<01121>

of Jacob
<03290>

came
<0935> (8804)

upon the slain
<02491>_,

and spoiled
<0962> (8799)

the city
<05892>_,

because they had defiled
<02930> (8765)

their sister
<0269>_.

34:28

They took
<03947> (8804)

their sheep
<06629>_,

and their oxen
<01241>_,

and their asses
<02543>_,

and that which [was] in the city
<05892>_,

and that which [was] in the field
<07704>_,

34:29

And all their wealth
<02428>_,

and all their little ones
<02945>_,

and their wives
<0802>

took they captive
<07617> (8804)_,

and spoiled
<0962> (8799)

even all that [was] in the house
<01004>_.

34:30

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Simeon
<08095>

and Levi
<03878>_,

Ye have troubled
<05916> (8804)

me to make me to stink
<0887> (8687)

among the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>_,

among the Canaanites
<03669>

and the Perizzites
<06522>_:

and I [being] few
<04962>

in number
<04557>_,

they shall gather themselves together
<0622> (8738)

against me, and slay me
<05221> (8689)_;

and I shall be destroyed
<08045> (8738)_,

I and my house
<01004>_.

34:31

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

Should he deal
<06213> (8799)

with our sister
<0269>

as with an harlot
<02181> (8802)_?
