1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. 2 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her. 3 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel. 4 And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife. 5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come.
6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him. 7 And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter; which thing ought not to be done. 8 And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife. 9 And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you. 10 And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein. 11 And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give. 12 Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife. 13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister: 14 And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us: 15 But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised; 16 Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people. 17 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor’s son. 19 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.
20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying, 21 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. 22 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. 23 Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us. 24 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.
25 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. 26 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. 27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister. 28 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field, 29 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house. 30 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. 31 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
1 利亚给雅各所生的女儿底拿， 出去要看看当地的女子。
2 当地的首长， 希未人哈抹的儿子示剑， 看见她， 就拉住她， 把她强奸， 污辱了她。
3 示剑的心恋慕雅各的女儿底拿， 他深爱这少女， 就用甜言蜜语安慰她。
4 示剑对他父亲哈抹说： "求你为我聘这女子为妻。"
5 雅各听见示剑奸污了他的女儿底拿； 但那时他的儿子正在田间看守他的牲畜， 所以他没有作声， 只等他们回来。
6 示剑的父亲哈抹出来见雅各， 要与他商议。
7 雅各的儿子听见了这事， 就从田间回来； 各人都感到非常悲痛和忿怒， 因为示剑在以色列中作了丑事， 就是把雅各的女儿奸污了， 这是不应该作的。
8 哈抹与他们商议说： "我儿子示剑的心依恋你们家的女儿， 请你们把她给我的儿子为妻吧。
9 你们与我们可以彼此结亲； 你们可以把女儿嫁给我们， 也可以娶我们的女儿为妻。
10 这样， 你们可以与我们同住； 这地就摆在你们面前， 只管在其中居住， 来往作买卖， 购置产业吧。"
11 示剑对底拿的父亲和她的兄弟说： "但愿我得你们的喜悦， 无论你们要什么， 我必给你们。
12 任由你们向我要多重的聘金和多大的礼物， 我必照你们所说的给你们， 只要你们把这少女给我为妻就是了。"
13 雅各的众子， 因为示剑奸污了他们的妹妹底拿， 就用欺诈的话回答示剑和他父亲哈抹，
14 对他们说： "我们不能把妹妹给一个没有受割礼的人为妻， 因为那是我们的耻辱。
15 只有一个条件， 我们才可以答允你们， 就是你们当中所有的男子都受割礼， 像我们一样。
16 我们就可以把女儿嫁给你们， 也可以娶你们的女儿为妻； 我们可以与你们同住， 大家成为一族人。
17 但如果你们不肯听从我们受割礼， 我就要把我们家的女儿带走了。"
18 哈抹和他儿子示剑觉得他们的提议很好。
19 那少年就立刻照着去作， 因为他喜爱雅各的女儿； 他在他父亲的全家中又是最受尊敬的。
20 哈抹和他儿子示剑来到自己的城的门口， 对城里的人说：
21 "这些人与我们和平相处， 不如让他们在这地居住， 来往作买卖吧。这地两边都很宽阔， 可以容纳他们； 我们可以娶他们的女儿为妻， 也可以把我们的女儿嫁给他们。
22 但是只有一个条件， 这些人才应允与我们同住， 大家成为一族人， 就是我们中间所有的男子都受割礼， 好像他们受了割礼一样。
23 这样他们的牲畜、财产和所有的牲口， 不都要归我们所有吗？只要我们应允他们的条件， 他们就与我们同住了。"
24 所有从城门出入的人， 都听从了哈抹和他儿子示剑的话。于是， 所有从城门出入的男子， 都受了割礼。
25 到了第三天， 他们正在疼痛的时候， 雅各的两个儿子， 就是底拿的哥哥西缅和利未拿着刀剑， 趁着他们想不到的时候， 进了那城， 把所有的男子都杀了。
26 又用刀剑杀了哈抹和他儿子示剑， 然后从示剑的家里把底拿带走。
27 雅各的儿子因为他们的妹妹被人奸污了， 就来到被杀的人那里， 抢掠那城，
28 夺去他们的羊群、牛群和驴， 以及城里和田间所有的，
29 又把他们所有的财物、孩子和妇女都掳去。屋里所有的东西， 都抢掠一空。
30 雅各对西缅和利未说： "你们连累了我， 使我在这地的居民， 就是在迦南人和比利洗人中间， 成了可憎的人。我们人数不多， 如果他们联合起来对付我， 攻击我， 我和我的家就必灭绝了。"
31 他们回答说： "他怎可以待我们的妹妹好像妓女一样呢？"
