1 And Dinah the daughter (Genesis 30:21) of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. KJRV — Genesis 34:1
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. KJRV — Genesis 34:2
3 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel. KJRV — Genesis 34:3
4 And Shechem spake (Judges 14:2) unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife. KJRV — Genesis 34:4
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. KJRV — Genesis 34:5
6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him. KJRV — Genesis 34:6
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, (Genesis 49:7) because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter: which thing ought not to be done. KJRV — Genesis 34:7
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. KJRV — Genesis 34:8
9 And make ye marriages (Joshua 23:12) with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you. KJRV — Genesis 34:9
10 And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein. KJRV — Genesis 34:10
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. KJRV — Genesis 34:11
12 Ask me never so much dowry (Exodus 22:17) and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife. KJRV — Genesis 34:12
13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister: KJRV — Genesis 34:13
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 (Joshua 5:9) unto us: KJRV — Genesis 34:14
15 But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised; KJRV — Genesis 34:15
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. KJRV — Genesis 34:16
17 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone. KJRV — Genesis 34:17
18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son. KJRV — Genesis 34:18
19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was more honorable than all the house of his father. KJRV — Genesis 34:19
20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate (Ruth 4:1; 2 Samuel 15:2) of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying, KJRV — Genesis 34:20
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. KJRV — Genesis 34:21
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. KJRV — Genesis 34:22
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. KJRV — Genesis 34:23
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. KJRV — Genesis 34:24
25 And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi (Genesis 49:5) , Dinah's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males. KJRV — Genesis 34:25
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. KJRV — Genesis 34:26
27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister. KJRV — Genesis 34:27
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, KJRV — Genesis 34:28
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. KJRV — Genesis 34:29
30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink (Exodus 5:21; 1 Samuel 13:4) 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. KJRV — Genesis 34:30
31 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot? KJRV — Genesis 34:31
