01:034:017 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then
will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
01:034:018 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
01:034:019 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he
had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was more honourable than all
the house of his father.
01:034:020 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their
city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
01:034:021 These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in
the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough
for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give
them our daughters.
01:034:022 Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with
us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they
are circumcised.
01:034:023 Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast
of their's be our's? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell
with us.
01:034:024 And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that
went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all
that went out of the gate of his city.
01:034:025 And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore,
that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took
each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the
males.
01:034:026 And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the
sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.
01:034:027 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city,
because they had defiled their sister.
01:034:028 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and
that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,
01:034:029 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their
wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.
01:034:030 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to
make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the
Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall
gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be
destroyed, I and my house.
01:034:031 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an
harlot?
01:035:001 And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell
there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when
thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
01:035:002 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were
with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean,
and change your garments:
01:035:003 And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there
an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was
with me in the way which I went.
