Then the sonnes of Iacob answered to Sichem ãd Hemor his father deceytefully/ because he had defyled Dina their syster. And they sayde vnto them/ we can not do this thinge/ y^t we shulde geue oure syster to one that is vncircumcysed/ for that were a shame vnto vs. Only in this will we consent vnto you: Yf ye will be as we be/ that all the men childern amonge you be circumcysed/ thã will we geue oure doughter to you and take youres to vs/ and will dwell with you and be one people. But and yf ye will not harken vnto vs to be circumcysed/ than will we take oure doughter and goo oure wayes. And their wordes pleased Hemor and Sichem his sonne. And the yonge man deferde not for to do the thinge/ because he had a lust to Iacobs doughter: he was also most sett by of all that were in his fathers house. Thã Hemor and Sichem went vnto the gate of their cyte/ and comened with the men of their cyte saynge. These men ar peasable with vs/ & will dwell in the lãde and do their occupatiõ therin And in the land is rowme ynough for thẽ/ let vs take their doughters to wyues and geue them oures: only herin will they consent vnto vs for to dwell with vs and to be one people: yf all the men childern that are amonge vs be circumcysed as they are. Their goodes & their substance and all their catell are oures/ only let vs consente vnto them/ that they maye dwell with vs. And vnto Hemor and Sichem his sonne harkened all that went out at the gate of his cyte. And all the menchildern were circumcysed whatsoeuer went out at the gates of his cyte. And the third daye when it was paynefull to them/ ij. of the sonnes of Iacob Simeon & Leui Dinas brethren/ toke ether of them his swerde & went in to the cyte boldly/ and slewe all y^t was male/ and slewe also Hemor and Sichem his sonne with the edge of the swerde/ ãd toke Dina their sister out of Sichems house/ and went their waye. Than came the sonnes of Iacob vpon the deede/ and spoyled the cyte/ because they had defyled their sister: and toke their shepe/ oxen asses and what so euer was in the cyte and also in y^e feldes. And all their goodes/ all their childern and their wyues toke they captyue/ and made havock of all that was in the houses. And Iacob sayde to Simeon and Leui: ye haue troubled me ãd made me styncke vnto the inhabitatours of the lande/ both to the Canaanytes and also vnto the Pherezites. And I am fewe in nombre. Wherfore they shall gather them selves together agaynst me & sley me/ and so shall I and my house be dystroyed. And they answered: shuld they deall with oure sister as wyth an whoore? ¶ The .xxxv.
