Genesis 34:13-27
English Standard Version
Chapter 34
13The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father Hamor deceitfully, because he had defiled their sister Dinah. 14They said to them, "We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a disgrace to us. 15Only on this condition will we agree with you — that you will become as we are by every male among you being circumcised. 16Then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to ourselves, and we will dwell with you and become one people. 17But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter, and we will be gone."
18Their words pleased Hamor and Hamor 's son Shechem.
19And the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he delighted in Jacob 's daughter. Now he was the most honored of all his father 's house.
20So Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
21"These men are at peace with us; let them dwell in the land and trade in it, for behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters as wives, and let us give them our daughters.
22Only on this condition will the men agree to dwell with us to become one people — when every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised.
23Will not their livestock, their property and all their beasts be ours? Only let us agree with them, and they will dwell with us."
24And all who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
25On the third day, when they were sore, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah 's brothers, took their swords and came against the city while it felt secure and killed all the males.
26They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the sword and took Dinah out of Shechem 's house and went away.
27The sons of Jacob came upon the slain and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
