had done folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; a which thing ought not to be done. 034:008 Hamor talked with them, saying, "The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife. 034:009 Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves. 034:010 You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it." 034:011 Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, "Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you will tell me I will give. 034:012 Ask me a great amount for a dowry, and I will give whatever you ask of me, but give me the young lady as a wife." 034:013 The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister, 034:014 and said to them, "We can't do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us. 034:015 Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised; 034:016 then will we give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people. 034:017 But if you will not listen to us, to be circumcised, then we will take our sister,{Hebrew has, literally, "daughter"} and we will be gone." 034:018 Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son. 034:019 The young man didn't wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter, and he was honored above all the house of his father. 034:020 Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying, 034:021 "These men are peaceful with us. Therefore let them live in the land and trade in it. For behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters. 034:022 Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people, if every male among us is circumcised, as they are circumcised. 034:023 Won't their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let us give our consent to them, and they will dwell with us." 034:024 All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor, and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city. 034:025 It happened on the third day, when they were sore, that two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword, came upon the unsuspecting city, and killed all the males. 034:026 They killed Hamor and Shechem, his son, with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went away.
