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.

²⁵ Three days later, while all of them were still in pain,^(A) two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon^(B) and Levi,^(C) Dinah’s brothers, took their swords^(D) and attacked the unsuspecting city,^(E) killing every male.^{(F) 26} They put Hamor and his son Shechem to the sword^(G) and took Dinah^(H) from Shechem’s house and left. ²⁷ The sons of Jacob came upon the dead bodies and looted the city^(I) where^[a] their sister had been defiled.^{(J) 28} They seized their flocks and herds and donkeys^(K) and everything else of theirs in the city and out in the fields.^{(L) 29} They carried off all their wealth and all their women and children,^(M) taking as plunder^(N) everything in the houses.^(O)

³⁰ Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble^(P) on me by making me obnoxious^(Q) to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people living in this land.^(R) We are few in number,^(S) 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?^(T)”
