1Dinah, the daughter of Jacob and Leah, went to visit some of the women who lived nearby.
2She was seen by Hamor's son Shechem, the leader of the Hivites, and he grabbed her and raped her.
3But Shechem was attracted to Dinah, so he told her how much he loved her.
4Shechem even asked his father to arrange for him to marry her.
5Meanwhile, Jacob heard what had happened. But his sons were out in the fields with the cattle, so he did not do anything at the time.
6Hamor arrived at Jacob's home
7just as Jacob's sons were coming in from work. When they learned that their sister had been raped, they became furiously angry, because nothing is more disgraceful than rape, and it must not be tolerated.
8Hamor said to Jacob and his sons:
11Shechem added, “Do this favor for me, and I'll give whatever you want.
12Ask anything, no matter how expensive. I'll do anything, just let me marry Dinah.”
13Jacob's sons wanted to get even with Shechem and his father because of what had happened to their sister.
14So they tricked them by saying:
18Hamor and Shechem liked what was said.
19Shechem was the most respected person in his family, and he was so in love with Dinah that he hurried off to get everything done.
20The two men met with the other leaders of their city and told them:
24Every grown man followed this advice and got circumcised.
25Three days later the men who had been circumcised were still weak from pain. So Simeon and Levi, two of Dinah's brothers, attacked with their swords and killed every man in the town,[#34.25 Dinah's full brothers.]
26including Hamor and Shechem. Then they took Dinah and left.
27Jacob's other sons came and took everything they wanted. All this was done because of the horrible thing that had happened to their sister.
28They took sheep, goats, donkeys, and everything else that was in the town or the countryside.
29After taking everything of value from the houses, they dragged away the wives and children of their victims.
30Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “Look what you've done! Now I'm in real trouble with the Canaanites and Perizzites who live around here. There aren't many of us, and if they attack, they'll kill everyone in my household.”
31They answered, “Was it right to let our own sister be treated that way?”
