1 Mosebog 34
Dette er Biblen på dansk
34 Da Dina, den Datter, Jakob havde med Lea, engang gik ud for at besøge Landets Døtre, 2 så Sikem, en Søn af Egnens Høvding, Hivviten Hamor, hende og greb hende og lå hos hende; og han krænkede hende; 3 men hans Hjerte hang ved Jakobs Datter Dina, og han elskede Pigen og talte godt for hende; 4 og Sikem sagde til sin Fader Hamor: "Skaf mig den Pige til Hustru!" 5 Jakob hørte, at han havde skændet hans Datter Dina; men da hans Sønner dengang var med hans Kvæg på Marken, tav han, til de kom hjem." 6 Sikems Fader Hamor gik nu til Jakob for at tale med ham. 7 Men da Jakobs Sønner hørte det, kom de hjem fra Marken; og Mændene græmmede sig og var såre opbragte, fordi han havde øvet Skændselsdåd i Israel ved at ligge hos Jakobs Datter; thi sligt bør ikke ske. 8 Og Hamor talte med dem og sagde: "Min Søn Sikems Hjerte hænger ved eders Datter; giv ham hende til Hustru 9 og indgå Svogerskab med os; giv os eders Døtre og gift eder med vore Døtre; 10 tag Ophold hos os, og Landet skal stå eder åbent; slå eder ned og drag frit omkring og saml eder Ejendom der!" 11 Og Sikem sagde til hendes Fader og Brødre: "Måtte jeg finde Nåde for eders Øjne! Alt, hvad I kræver, vil jeg give 12 forlang så høj en Brudesum og Gave, I vil; jeg giver, hvad I kræver, når I blot vil give mig Pigen til Hustru!" 13 Da gav Jakobs Sønner Sikem og hans Fader Hamor et listigt Svar, fordi. han havde skændet deres Søster Dina, 14 og sagde til dem: "Vi er ikke i Stand til at give vor Søster til en uomskåren Mand, thi det holder vi for en Skændsel. 15 Kun på det Vilkår vil vi føje eder, at I bliver som vi og lader alle af Mandkøn iblandt eder omskære; 16 i så Fald vil vi give eder vore Døtre og ægte eders Døtre og bosætte os iblandt eder, så vi bliver eet Folk; 17 men hvis I ikke vil høre os og lade eder omskære, så tager vi vor Datter og drager bort" 18 Deres Tale tyktes Hamor og Sikem, Hamors Søn, god; 19 og den unge Mand tøvede ikke med at gøre således, thi han var indtaget i Jakobs Datter, og han var den, der havde mest at sige i sin Faders Hus 20 og Harnor og hans Søn Siken gik til deres Bys Port og sagde til, Mændene i deres By: 21 "Disse Mænd er os velsindede; lad dem bosætte sig og drage frit om her i Landet, der er jo Plads nok til dem i Landet; deres Døtre vil vi tage til Hustruer og give dem vore Døtre til Hustruer! 22 Men kun på det Vilkår vil Mændene føje os og bosætte sig hos os, så vi kan blive eet Folk, at alle af Mandkøn hos os lader sig omskære, således som de er omskårne. 23 Deres Hjorde og deres Gods og alt deres Kvæg bliver jo dog vort; lad os derfor føje dem, så de kan blive boende hos os!" 24 Så adlød de Hamor og hans Søn Sikem, så mange som færdedes i hans Bys Port, og alle af Mandkøn, alle, som færdedes i hans Bys Port, lod sig omskære. 25 Men Tredjedagen, da de havde Sårfeber, tog Jakobs to Sønner Simeon og Levi, Dinas Brødre, hver sit Sværd, trængte ind i Byen, uden at nogen anede Uråd, 0g slog alle Mændene ihjel 26 og dræbte Hamor og hans Søn Sikem med Sværdet, tog Dina ud af Sikems Hus og drog bort. 27 Så kastede Jakobs Sønner sig over de faldne og plyndrede Byen, fordi de havde skændet deres Søster; 28 deres Småkvæg, Hornkvæg og Æsler, både hvad der var i Byen og på Markerne, tog de med sig, 29 og al deres Ejendom og alle deres Børn og Kvinder førte de bort som Bytte, og de udplyndrede Byen for alt, hvad der var der. 30 Men Jakob sagde til Simeon og Levi: "I styrter mig i Ulykke ved at lægge mig for Had hos Landets Indbyggere, Kana'anæerne og Perizziterne; thi jeg råder kun over få Folk; samler de sig mod mig og slår mig, så er det ude med mig og mit Hus!" 31 Men de svarede: "Skal han behandle vor Søster som en Skøge!"
Genesis 34
New International Version
Dinah and the Shechemites
34 Now Dinah,(A) the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the land. 2 When Shechem(B) son of Hamor(C) the Hivite,(D) the ruler of that area, saw her, he took her and raped her.(E) 3 His heart was drawn to Dinah(F) daughter of Jacob;(G) he loved(H) the young woman and spoke tenderly(I) to her. 4 And Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Get me this girl as my wife.”(J)
5 When Jacob heard that his daughter Dinah had been defiled,(K) his sons were in the fields with his livestock; so he did nothing about it until they came home.
6 Then Shechem’s father Hamor went out to talk with Jacob.(L) 7 Meanwhile, Jacob’s sons had come in from the fields as soon as they heard what had happened. They were shocked(M) and furious,(N) because Shechem had done an outrageous thing in[a] Israel(O) by sleeping with Jacob’s daughter—a thing that should not be done.(P)
8 But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem has his heart set on your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.(Q) 9 Intermarry with us; give us your daughters and take our daughters for yourselves.(R) 10 You can settle among us;(S) the land is open to you.(T) Live in it, trade[b] in it,(U) and acquire property in it.(V)”
11 Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes,(W) and I will give you whatever you ask. 12 Make the price for the bride(X) and the gift I am to bring as great as you like, and I’ll pay whatever you ask me. Only give me the young woman as my wife.”
13 Because their sister Dinah had been defiled,(Y) Jacob’s sons replied deceitfully(Z) as they spoke to Shechem and his father Hamor. 14 They said to them, “We can’t do such a thing; we can’t give our sister to a man who is not circumcised.(AA) That would be a disgrace to us. 15 We will enter into an agreement with you on one condition(AB) only: that you become like us by circumcising all your males.(AC) 16 Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves.(AD) We’ll settle among you and become one people with you.(AE) 17 But if you will not agree to be circumcised, we’ll take our sister and go.”
18 Their proposal seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem. 19 The young man, who was the most honored(AF) of all his father’s family, lost no time in doing what they said, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter.(AG) 20 So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city(AH) to speak to the men of their city. 21 “These men are friendly toward us,” they said. “Let them live in our land and trade in it;(AI) the land has plenty of room for them. We can marry their daughters and they can marry ours.(AJ) 22 But the men will agree to live with us as one people only on the condition that our males be circumcised,(AK) as they themselves are. 23 Won’t their livestock, their property and all their other animals become ours?(AL) So let us agree to their terms, and they will settle among us.(AM)”
24 All the men who went out of the city gate(AN) agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male in the city was circumcised.
25 Three days later, while all of them were still in pain,(AO) two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon(AP) and Levi,(AQ) Dinah’s brothers, took their swords(AR) and attacked the unsuspecting city,(AS) killing every male.(AT) 26 They put Hamor and his son Shechem to the sword(AU) and took Dinah(AV) from Shechem’s house and left. 27 The sons of Jacob came upon the dead bodies and looted the city(AW) where[c] their sister had been defiled.(AX) 28 They seized their flocks and herds and donkeys(AY) and everything else of theirs in the city and out in the fields.(AZ) 29 They carried off all their wealth and all their women and children,(BA) taking as plunder(BB) everything in the houses.(BC)
30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble(BD) on me by making me obnoxious(BE) to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people living in this land.(BF) We are few in number,(BG) and if they join forces against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.”
31 But they replied, “Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?(BH)”
