Våldtäkten mot Dina
34 Men Dina, den dotter som Lea hade fött åt Jakob, gick ut för att träffa flickorna i landet. 2 Sikem som var son till hiveen Hamor, fursten i landet, fick se henne och tog henne till sig. Han låg med henne och förnedrade henne. 3 Men hans hjärta fäste sig vid Jakobs dotter Dina. Han älskade flickan och talade vänligt med henne. 4 Och Sikem sade till sin fader Hamor: "Skaffa mig den flickan till hustru."
5 Jakob fick höra att hans dotter Dina hade blivit orenad, men eftersom hans söner var ute på marken med boskapen teg Jakob till dess de kom hem. 6 Men Sikems fader Hamor gick ut till Jakob för att tala med honom. 7 När Jakobs söner kom hem från marken och fick höra vad som hänt, kände de sorg och vrede över vad Sikem gjort. Att han hade legat med Jakobs dotter var en galenskap i Israel, något som inte fick ske.
8 Men Hamor talade med dem och sade: "Min son Sikem har fäst sig vid er syster. Ge henne åt honom till hustru. 9 Gift in er hos oss. Ge oss era döttrar så kan ni ta våra döttrar till hustrur. 10 Slå er ner hos oss och landet skall ligga öppet för er. Bo här och flytta omkring och skaffa er ägodelar." 11 Och Sikem sade till hennes far och hennes bröder: "Låt mig finna nåd för era ögon. Det ni begär vill jag ge er. 12 Begär av mig hur stor brudgåva och annan gåva som helst. Jag vill ge vad ni fordrar av mig. Ge mig bara flickan till hustru."
13 Jakobs söner svarade Sikem och hans fader Hamor med list, eftersom han hade orenat deras syster Dina. 14 De sade till dem: "Vi kan inte gå med på att ge vår syster åt en man som har förhud. Sådant håller vi för skamligt. 15 Vi kan göra er till viljes bara på det villkoret att ni blir som vi och att alla män bland er låter omskära sig. 16 Då skall vi ge våra döttrar åt er och själva ta era döttrar till hustrur. Vi skall då bo bland er och bli ett enda folk med er. 17 Men om ni inte lyssnar till oss och inte låter er omskäras, kommer vi att ta vår syster och dra bort." 18 Hamor och hans son Sikem tyckte att deras förslag lät bra. 19 Och den unge mannen dröjde inte med att göra som de sade, ty han var kär i Jakobs dotter. Och han var mer ansedd i sin fars hus än någon annan.
20 Hamor och hans son Sikem gick till stadsporten och talade till männen i staden. De sade: 21 "Dessa män är fredligt sinnade mot oss. Vi bör därför låta dem bo i landet och flytta omkring här. Landet har ju gott om utrymme för dem. Vi tar deras döttrar till hustrur åt oss och ger dem våra döttrar. 22 Men endast på ett villkor kommer männen att göra oss till viljes och bo bland oss och bli ett enda folk med oss: att alla män hos oss låter omskära sig liksom de själva är omskurna. 23 Då kommer deras boskap och egendom och alla deras dragdjur att tillhöra oss. Låt oss därför göra dem till viljes så att de bor kvar bland oss." 24 Och folket lydde Hamor och hans son Sikem. Alla män, så många som bodde innanför stadsporten, lät omskära sig.
25 Men på tredje dagen, när männen var sjuka av såren, tog Jakobs två söner Simeon och Levi, Dinas bröder, var sitt svärd och överföll oväntat staden och dödade alla som var av manligt kön. 26 Också Hamor och hans son Sikem dödade de med svärd och tog med sig Dina ut ur Sikems hus och gav sig i väg. 27 Och Jakobs söner gick fram över de slagna och plundrade staden, därför att deras syster hade blivit orenad. 28 De tog deras får, nötboskap och åsnor, både det som fanns i staden och det som fanns ute på fälten. 29 Alla deras ägodelar och alla deras barn och kvinnor förde de bort som byte tillsammans med allt annat som fanns i husen. 30 Men Jakob sade till Simeon och Levi: "Ni har dragit olycka över mig och gjort mig förhatlig för dem som bor i landet, kananeerna och perisseerna. Mitt folk är bara en liten skara. De kommer nu att gå samman mot mig och slå ihjäl mig. Både jag och mitt hus kommer att förgöras." 31 Men de svarade: "Skulle man då få behandla vår syster som en hora?"

The Dinah Incident
34 Now (A)Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to 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 (B)took her and lay with her, and violated her. 3 His soul [a]was strongly attracted to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young woman and spoke [b]kindly to the young woman. 4 So Shechem (C)spoke to his father Hamor, saying, “Get me this young woman as a wife.”
5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter. Now his sons were with his livestock in the field; so Jacob (D)held[c] his peace until they came. 6 Then Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him. 7 And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved and very angry, because he (E)had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob’s daughter, (F)a thing which ought not to be done. 8 But Hamor spoke with them, saying, “The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife. 9 And make marriages with us; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to yourselves. 10 So you shall dwell with us, and the land shall be before you. Dwell and trade in it, and acquire possessions for yourselves in it.”
11 Then Shechem said to her father and her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I will give. 12 Ask me ever so much (G)dowry[d] and gift, and I will give according to what you say to me; but give me the young woman as a wife.”
13 But the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father, and spoke (H)deceitfully, because he had defiled Dinah their sister. 14 And they said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is (I)uncircumcised, for (J)that would be a reproach to us. 15 But on this condition we will consent to you: If you will become as we are, if every male of you is circumcised, 16 then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us; and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people. 17 But if you will not heed us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and be gone.”
18 And their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son. 19 So the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he delighted in Jacob’s daughter. He was (K)more honorable than all the household of his father.
20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the (L)gate of their city, and spoke with the men of their city, saying: 21 “These men are at peace with us. Therefore let them dwell in the land and trade in it. For indeed the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us as wives, and let us give them our daughters. 22 Only on this condition will the men consent to dwell with us, to be one people: if every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised. 23 Will not their livestock, their property, and every animal of theirs be ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell with us.” 24 And all who went out of the gate of his city heeded Hamor and Shechem his son; every male was circumcised, all who (M)went out of the gate of his city.
25 Now it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Jacob, (N)Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword and came boldly upon the city and killed all the males. 26 And they (O)killed Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah from Shechem’s house, and went out. 27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because their sister had been defiled. 28 They took their sheep, their oxen, and their donkeys, what was in the city and what was in the field, 29 and all their wealth. All their little ones and their wives they took captive; and they plundered even all that was in the houses.
30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, (P)“You have (Q)troubled me (R)by making me obnoxious among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; (S)and since I am few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and kill me. I shall be destroyed, my household and I.”
31 But they said, “Should he treat our sister like a harlot?”

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)”
