1And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.

1וַתֵּצֵ֤א דִינָה֙ בַּת־ לֵאָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר יָלְדָ֖ה לְיַעֲקֹ֑ב לִרְא֖וֹת בִּבְנ֥וֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃

2And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.

2וַיַּ֨רְא אֹתָ֜הּ שְׁכֶ֧ם בֶּן־ חֲמ֛וֹר הַֽחִוִּ֖י נְשִׂ֣יא הָאָ֑רֶץ וַיִּקַּ֥ח אֹתָ֛הּ וַיִּשְׁכַּ֥ב אֹתָ֖הּ וַיְעַנֶּֽהָ׃

3And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.

3וַתִּדְבַּ֣ק נַפְשׁ֔וֹ בְּדִינָ֖ה בַּֽת־ יַעֲקֹ֑ב וַיֶּֽאֱהַב֙ אֶת־ הַֽנַּעֲרָ֔ וַיְדַבֵּ֖ר עַל־ לֵ֥ב הַֽנַּעֲרָֽ׃

4And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.

4וַיֹּ֣אמֶר שְׁכֶ֔ם אֶל־ חֲמ֥וֹר אָבִ֖יו לֵאמֹ֑ר קַֽח־ לִ֛י אֶת־ הַיַּלְדָּ֥ה הַזֹּ֖את לְאִשָּֽׁה׃

5And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come.

5וְיַעֲקֹ֣ב שָׁמַ֗ע כִּ֤י טִמֵּא֙ אֶת־ דִּינָ֣ה בִתּ֔וֹ וּבָנָ֛יו הָי֥וּ אֶת־ מִקְנֵ֖הוּ בַּשָּׂדֶ֑ה וְהֶחֱרִ֥שׁ יַעֲקֹ֖ב עַד־ בֹּאָֽם׃

6And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.

6וַיֵּצֵ֛א חֲמ֥וֹר אֲבִֽי־ שְׁכֶ֖ם אֶֽל־ יַעֲקֹ֑ב לְדַבֵּ֖ר אִתּֽוֹ׃

7And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; which thing ought not to be done.

7וּבְנֵ֨י יַעֲקֹ֜ב בָּ֤אוּ מִן־ הַשָּׂדֶה֙ כְּשָׁמְעָ֔ם וַיִּֽתְעַצְּבוּ֙ הָֽאֲנָשִׁ֔ים וַיִּ֥חַר לָהֶ֖ם מְאֹ֑ד כִּֽי־ נְבָלָ֞ה עָשָׂ֣ה בְיִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל לִשְׁכַּב֙ אֶת־ בַּֽת־ יַעֲקֹ֔ב וְכֵ֖ן לֹ֥א יֵעָשֶֽׂה׃

8And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife.

8וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר חֲמ֖וֹר אִתָּ֣ם לֵאמֹ֑ר שְׁכֶ֣ם בְּנִ֗י חָֽשְׁקָ֤ה נַפְשׁוֹ֙ בְּבִתְּכֶ֔ם תְּנ֨וּ נָ֥א אֹתָ֛הּ ל֖וֹ לְאִשָּֽׁה׃

9And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.

9וְהִֽתְחַתְּנ֖וּ אֹתָ֑נוּ בְּנֹֽתֵיכֶם֙ תִּתְּנוּ־ לָ֔נוּ וְאֶת־ בְּנֹתֵ֖ינוּ תִּקְח֥וּ לָכֶֽם׃

10And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.

10וְאִתָּ֖נוּ תֵּשֵׁ֑בוּ וְהָאָ֙רֶץ֙ תִּהְיֶ֣ה לִפְנֵיכֶ֔ם שְׁבוּ֙ וּסְחָר֔וּהָ וְהֵֽאָחֲז֖וּ בָּֽהּ׃

11And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.

11וַיֹּ֤אמֶר שְׁכֶם֙ אֶל־ אָבִ֣יה‪‬ וְאֶל־ אַחֶ֔יהָ אֶמְצָא־ חֵ֖ן בְּעֵינֵיכֶ֑ם וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר תֹּאמְר֛וּ אֵלַ֖י אֶתֵּֽן׃

12Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.

12הַרְבּ֨וּ עָלַ֤י מְאֹד֙ מֹ֣הַר וּמַתָּ֔ן וְאֶ֨תְּנָ֔ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר תֹּאמְר֖וּ אֵלָ֑י וּתְנוּ־ לִ֥י אֶת־ הַֽנַּעֲרָ֖ לְאִשָּֽׁה׃

13And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:

13וַיַּעֲנ֨וּ בְנֵֽי־ יַעֲקֹ֜ב אֶת־ שְׁכֶ֨ם וְאֶת־ חֲמ֥וֹר אָבִ֛יו בְּמִרְמָ֖ה וַיְדַבֵּ֑רוּ אֲשֶׁ֣ר טִמֵּ֔א אֵ֖ת דִּינָ֥ה אֲחֹתָֽם׃

14And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us:

14וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ אֲלֵיהֶ֗ם לֹ֤א נוּכַל֙ לַעֲשׂוֹת֙ הַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֔ה לָתֵת֙ אֶת־ אֲחֹתֵ֔נוּ לְאִ֖ישׁ אֲשֶׁר־ ל֣וֹ עָרְלָ֑ה כִּֽי־ חֶרְפָּ֥ה הִ֖וא לָֽנוּ׃

15But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;

15אַךְ־ בְּזֹ֖את נֵא֣וֹת לָכֶ֑ם אִ֚ם תִּהְי֣וּ כָמֹ֔נוּ לְהִמֹּ֥ל לָכֶ֖ם כָּל־ זָכָֽר׃

16Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.

16וְנָתַ֤נּוּ אֶת־ בְּנֹתֵ֙ינוּ֙ לָכֶ֔ם וְאֶת־ בְּנֹתֵיכֶ֖ם נִֽקַּֽח־ לָ֑נוּ וְיָשַׁ֣בְנוּ אִתְּכֶ֔ם וְהָיִ֖ינוּ לְעַ֥ם אֶחָֽד׃

17But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.

17וְאִם־ לֹ֧א תִשְׁמְע֛וּ אֵלֵ֖ינוּ לְהִמּ֑וֹל וְלָקַ֥חְנוּ אֶת־ בִּתֵּ֖נוּ וְהָלָֽכְנוּ׃

18And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.

18וַיִּֽיטְב֥וּ דִבְרֵיהֶ֖ם בְּעֵינֵ֣י חֲמ֑וֹר וּבְעֵינֵ֖י שְׁכֶ֥ם בֶּן־ חֲמֽוֹר׃

19And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house of his father.

19וְלֹֽא־ אֵחַ֤ר הַנַּ֙עַר֙ לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת הַדָּבָ֔ר כִּ֥י חָפֵ֖ץ בְּבַֽת־ יַעֲקֹ֑ב וְה֣וּא נִכְבָּ֔ד מִכֹּ֖ל בֵּ֥ית אָבִֽיו׃

20And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,

20וַיָּבֹ֥א חֲמ֛וֹר וּשְׁכֶ֥ם בְּנ֖וֹ אֶל־ שַׁ֣עַר עִירָ֑ם וַֽיְדַבְּר֛וּ אֶל־ אַנְשֵׁ֥י עִירָ֖ם לֵאמֹֽר׃

21These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.

21הָאֲנָשִׁ֨ים הָאֵ֜לֶּה שְֽׁלֵמִ֧ים הֵ֣ם אִתָּ֗נוּ וְיֵשְׁב֤וּ בָאָ֙רֶץ֙ וְיִסְחֲר֣וּ אֹתָ֔הּ וְהָאָ֛רֶץ הִנֵּ֥ה רַֽחֲבַת־ יָדַ֖יִם לִפְנֵיהֶ֑ם אֶת־ בְּנֹתָם֙ נִקַּֽח־ לָ֣נוּ לְנָשִׁ֔ים וְאֶת־ בְּנֹתֵ֖ינוּ נִתֵּ֥ן לָהֶֽם׃

22Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.

22אַךְ־ בְּ֠זֹאת יֵאֹ֨תוּ לָ֤נוּ הָאֲנָשִׁים֙ לָשֶׁ֣בֶת אִתָּ֔נוּ לִהְי֖וֹת לְעַ֣ם אֶחָ֑ד בְּהִמּ֥וֹל לָ֙נוּ֙ כָּל־ זָכָ֔ר כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר הֵ֥ם נִמֹּלִֽים׃

23Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us.

23מִקְנֵהֶ֤ם וְקִנְיָנָם֙ וְכָל־ בְּהֶמְתָּ֔ם הֲל֥וֹא לָ֖נוּ הֵ֑ם אַ֚ךְ נֵא֣וֹתָה לָהֶ֔ם וְיֵשְׁב֖וּ אִתָּֽנוּ׃

24And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.

24וַיִּשְׁמְע֤וּ אֶל־ חֲמוֹר֙ וְאֶל־ שְׁכֶ֣ם בְּנ֔וֹ כָּל־ יֹצְאֵ֖י שַׁ֣עַר עִיר֑וֹ וַיִּמֹּ֙לוּ֙ כָּל־ זָכָ֔ר כָּל־ יֹצְאֵ֖י שַׁ֥עַר עִירֽוֹ׃

25And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.

25וַיְהִי֩ בַיּ֨וֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֜י בִּֽהְיוֹתָ֣ם כֹּֽאֲבִ֗ים וַיִּקְח֣וּ שְׁנֵֽי־ בְנֵי־ יַ֠עֲקֹב שִׁמְע֨וֹן וְלֵוִ֜י אֲחֵ֤י דִינָה֙ אִ֣ישׁ חַרְבּ֔וֹ וַיָּבֹ֥אוּ עַל־ הָעִ֖יר בֶּ֑טַח וַיַּֽהַרְג֖וּ כָּל־ זָכָֽר׃

26And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.

26וְאֶת־ חֲמוֹר֙ וְאֶת־ שְׁכֶ֣ם בְּנ֔וֹ הָרְג֖וּ לְפִי־ חָ֑רֶב וַיִּקְח֧וּ אֶת־ דִּינָ֛ה מִבֵּ֥ית שְׁכֶ֖ם וַיֵּצֵֽאוּ׃

27The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.

27בְּנֵ֣י יַעֲקֹ֗ב בָּ֚אוּ עַל־ הַ֣חֲלָלִ֔ים וַיָּבֹ֖זּוּ הָעִ֑יר אֲשֶׁ֥ר טִמְּא֖וּ אֲחוֹתָֽם׃

28They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,

28אֶת־ צֹאנָ֥ם וְאֶת־ בְּקָרָ֖ם וְאֶת־ חֲמֹרֵיהֶּ֑ם‪‬ וְאֵ֧ת אֲשֶׁר־ בָּעִ֛יר וְאֶת־ אֲשֶׁ֥ר בַּשָּׂדֶ֖ה לָקָֽחוּ׃

29And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.

29וְאֶת־ כָּל־ חֵילָ֤ם וְאֶת־ כָּל־ טַפָּם֙ וְאֶת־ נְשֵׁיהֶ֔ם שָׁב֖וּ וַיָּבֹ֑זּוּ וְאֵ֖ת כָּל־ אֲשֶׁ֥ר בַּבָּֽיִת׃

30And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.

30וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יַעֲקֹ֜ב אֶל־ שִׁמְע֣וֹן וְאֶל־ לֵוִי֮ עֲכַרְתֶּ֣ם אֹתִי֒ לְהַבְאִישֵׁ֙נִי֙ בְּיֹשֵׁ֣ב הָאָ֔רֶץ בַּֽכְּנַעֲנִ֖י וּבַפְּרִזִּ֑י וַאֲנִי֙ מְתֵ֣י מִסְפָּ֔ר וְנֶאֶסְפ֤וּ עָלַי֙ וְהִכּ֔וּנִי וְנִשְׁמַדְתִּ֖י אֲנִ֥י וּבֵיתִֽי׃

31And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?

31וַיֹּאמְר֑וּ הַכְזוֹנָ֕ה יַעֲשֶׂ֖ה אֶת־ אֲחוֹתֵֽנוּ׃ פ
