Genesis 34:5-7
New International Version
5 When Jacob heard that his daughter Dinah had been defiled,(A) 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.(B) 7 Meanwhile, Jacob’s sons had come in from the fields as soon as they heard what had happened. They were shocked(C) and furious,(D) because Shechem had done an outrageous thing in[a] Israel(E) by sleeping with Jacob’s daughter—a thing that should not be done.(F)

5 Now Jacob heard that Shechem[a] had defiled his daughter Dinah; but his sons were with his cattle in the field, so Jacob held his peace until they came. 6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him, 7 just as the sons of Jacob came in from the field. When they heard of it, the men were indignant and very angry, because he had committed an outrage in Israel by lying with Jacob’s daughter, for such a thing ought not to be done.
