Genesis 34
34
1 Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. 2Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her. 3His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady. 4Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, “Get me this young lady as a wife.”
5 Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob held his peace until they came. 6Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to talk with him. 7The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. The men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had done folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter, a thing that ought not to be done. 8Hamor talked with them, saying, “The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife. 9Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves. 10You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it.”
11 Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you will tell me I will give. 12Ask me a great amount for a dowry, and I will give whatever you ask of me, but give me the young lady as a wife.”
13 The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit when they spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister, 14and said to them, “We can’t do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us. 15Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised, 16then will we 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. 17But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our sister,#34:17 Hebrew has, literally, “daughter” and we will be gone.”
18Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son. 19The young man didn’t wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter, and he was honored above all the house of his father. 20Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying, 21“These men are peaceful with us. Therefore let them live in the land and trade in it. For behold, the land is large enough for them. Let’s take their daughters to us for wives, and let’s give them our daughters. 22Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people, if every male among us is circumcised, as they are circumcised. 23Won’t their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let’s give our consent to them, and they will dwell with us.”
24 All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor, and to Shechem his son; 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 Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword, came upon the unsuspecting city, and killed all the males. 26They killed Hamor and Shechem, his son, with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away. 27Jacob’s sons came on the dead, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister. 28They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field, 29and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the house. 30Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and strike me, and I will be destroyed, I and my house.”
31 They said, “Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?”

示劍污辱底拿
1利亞給雅各所生的女兒底拿,出去要看看當地的女子。2當地的首長,希未人哈抹的兒子示劍,看見她,就拉住她,把她強姦,污辱了她。3示劍的心戀慕雅各的女兒底拿,他深愛這少女,就用甜言蜜語安慰她。4示劍對他父親哈抹說:“求你為我聘這女子為妻。”5雅各聽見示劍姦污了他的女兒底拿;但那時他的兒子正在田間看守他的牲畜,所以他沒有作聲,只等他們回來。
雅各的兒子為底拿雪恥
6示劍的父親哈抹出來見雅各,要與他商議。7雅各的兒子聽見了這事,就從田間回來;各人都感到非常悲痛和忿怒,因為示劍在以色列中作了醜事,就是把雅各的女兒姦污了,這是不應該作的。8哈抹與他們商議說:“我兒子示劍的心依戀你們家的女兒,請你們把她給我的兒子為妻吧。9你們與我們可以彼此結親;你們可以把女兒嫁給我們,也可以娶我們的女兒為妻。10這樣,你們可以與我們同住;這地就擺在你們面前,只管在其中居住,來往作買賣,購置產業吧。”11示劍對底拿的父親和她的兄弟說:“但願我得你們的喜悅,無論你們要甚麼,我必給你們。12任由你們向我要多重的聘金和多大的禮物,我必照你們所說的給你們,只要你們把這少女給我為妻就是了。”13雅各的眾子,因為示劍姦污了他們的妹妹底拿,就用欺詐的話回答示劍和他父親哈抹,14對他們說:“我們不能把妹妹給一個沒有受割禮的人為妻,因為那是我們的恥辱。15只有一個條件,我們才可以答允你們,就是你們當中所有的男子都受割禮,像我們一樣。16我們就可以把女兒嫁給你們,也可以娶你們的女兒為妻;我們可以與你們同住,大家成為一族人。17但如果你們不肯聽從我們受割禮,我就要把我們家的女兒帶走了。”
18哈抹和他兒子示劍覺得他們的提議很好。19那少年就立刻照著去作,因為他喜愛雅各的女兒;他在他父親的全家中又是最受尊敬的。20哈抹和他兒子示劍來到自己的城的門口,對城裡的人說:21“這些人與我們和平相處,不如讓他們在這地居住,來往作買賣吧。這地兩邊都很寬闊,可以容納他們;我們可以娶他們的女兒為妻,也可以把我們的女兒嫁給他們。22但是只有一個條件,這些人才應允與我們同住,大家成為一族人,就是我們中間所有的男子都受割禮,好像他們受了割禮一樣。23這樣他們的牲畜、財產和所有的牲口,不都要歸我們所有嗎?只要我們應允他們的條件,他們就與我們同住了。”24所有從城門出入的人,都聽從了哈抹和他兒子示劍的話。於是,所有從城門出入的男子,都受了割禮。25到了第三天,他們正在疼痛的時候,雅各的兩個兒子,就是底拿的哥哥西緬和利未拿著刀劍,趁著他們想不到的時候,進了那城,把所有的男子都殺了。26又用刀劍殺了哈抹和他兒子示劍,然後從示劍的家裡把底拿帶走。27雅各的兒子因為他們的妹妹被人姦污了,就來到被殺的人那裡,搶掠那城,28奪去他們的羊群、牛群和驢,以及城裡和田間所有的,29又把他們所有的財物、孩子和婦女都擄去。屋裡所有的東西,都搶掠一空。30雅各對西緬和利未說:“你們連累了我,使我在這地的居民,就是在迦南人和比利洗人中間,成了可憎的人。我們人數不多,如果他們聯合起來對付我,攻擊我,我和我的家就必滅絕了。”31他們回答說:“他怎可以待我們的妹妹好像妓女一樣呢?”
