1Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the women of the land. (Ge 30:21)2And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her, he seized her and lay with her and humiliated her. (Ac 7:16)3And his soul was drawn to Dinah the daughter of Jacob. He loved the young woman and spoke tenderly to her.4So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, “Get me this girl for my wife.” (Jud 14:2)5Now Jacob heard that he had defiled his daughter Dinah. But his sons were with his livestock in the field, so Jacob held his peace until they came.6And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.7The sons of Jacob had come in from the field as soon as they heard of it, and the men were indignant and very angry, because he had done an outrageous thing in Israel by lying with Jacob’s daughter, for such a thing must not be done. (Ge 20:9; Ge 34:31; Ge 49:7; Jos 7:15; Jud 20:6; 2Sa 13:12)8But Hamor spoke with them, saying, “The soul of my son Shechem longs for your[1] daughter. Please give her to him to be his wife.9Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.10You shall dwell with us, and the land shall be open to you. Dwell and trade in it, and get property in it.” (Ge 13:9; Ge 20:15; Ge 34:21; Ge 42:34; Ge 47:27)11Shechem also said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I will give. (Ge 33:15)12Ask me for as great a bride-price[2] and gift as you will, and I will give whatever you say to me. Only give me the young woman to be my wife.” (Ex 22:16; De 22:29; 1Sa 18:25)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. (Jos 5:9)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. (1Ch 4:9)20So Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city and spoke to the men of their city, saying, (Ru 4:1)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. (Ge 34:10; Ge 42:34)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. (Ge 23:10)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. (Ge 29:33; Ge 30:21; Ge 49:5)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.28They took their flocks and their herds, their donkeys, and whatever was in the city and in the field.29All their wealth, all their little ones and their wives, all that was in the houses, they captured and plundered.30Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble on me by making me stink to the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the Perizzites. My numbers are few, and if they gather themselves against me and attack me, I shall be destroyed, both I and my household.” (Ge 13:7; Ge 15:20; Ex 5:21; Jos 7:25; 1Sa 13:4; 1Sa 27:12; 2Sa 10:6; 2Sa 16:21; 1Ch 16:19; 1Ch 19:6; Ps 105:12)31But they said, “Should he treat our sister like a prostitute?”
1Now Dinah, the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the land.2When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, the ruler of that area, saw her, he took her and raped her.3His heart was drawn to Dinah daughter of Jacob; he loved the young woman and spoke tenderly to her.4And Shechem said to his father Hamor, ‘Get me this girl as my wife.’5When Jacob heard that his daughter Dinah had been defiled, his sons were in the fields with his livestock; so he did nothing about it until they came home.6Then Shechem’s father Hamor went out to talk with Jacob.7Meanwhile, Jacob’s sons had come in from the fields as soon as they heard what had happened. They were shocked and furious, because Shechem had done an outrageous thing in[1] Israel by sleeping with Jacob’s daughter – a thing that should not be done.8But Hamor said to them, ‘My son Shechem has his heart set on your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.9Intermarry with us; give us your daughters and take our daughters for yourselves.10You can settle among us; the land is open to you. Live in it, trade[2] in it, and acquire property in it.’11Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, ‘Let me find favour in your eyes, and I will give you whatever you ask.12Make the price for the bride 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.’13Because their sister Dinah had been defiled, Jacob’s sons replied deceitfully as they spoke to Shechem and his father Hamor.14They said to them, ‘We can’t do such a thing; we can’t give our sister to a man who is not circumcised. That would be a disgrace to us.15We will enter into an agreement with you on one condition only: that you become like us by circumcising all your males.16Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves. We’ll settle among you and become one people with you.17But if you will not agree to be circumcised, we’ll take our sister and go.’18Their proposal seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem.19The young man, who was the most honoured of all his father’s family, lost no time in doing what they said, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter.20So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city to speak to the men of their city.21‘These men are friendly towards us,’ they said. ‘Let them live in our land and trade in it; the land has plenty of room for them. We can marry their daughters and they can marry ours.22But the men will agree to live with us as one people only on the condition that our males be circumcised, as they themselves are.23Won’t their livestock, their property and all their other animals become ours? So let us agree to their terms, and they will settle among us.’24All the men who went out of the city gate agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male in the city was circumcised.25Three days later, while all of them were still in pain, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, took their swords and attacked the unsuspecting city, killing every male.26They put Hamor and his son Shechem to the sword and took Dinah from Shechem’s house and left.27The sons of Jacob came upon the dead bodies and looted the city where[3] their sister had been defiled.28They seized their flocks and herds and donkeys and everything else of theirs in the city and out in the fields.29They carried off all their wealth and all their women and children, taking as plunder everything in the houses.30Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, ‘You have brought trouble on me by making me obnoxious to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people living in this land. We are few in number, and if they join forces against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.’31But they replied, ‘Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?’
1Dinah was the daughter Leah had by Jacob. Dinah went out to visit the women of the land.2Hamor, the Hivite, was the ruler of that area. When his son Shechem saw Dinah, he took her and raped her.3Then he longed for Jacob’s daughter Dinah. He fell in love with her and spoke tenderly to her.4Shechem said to his father Hamor, ‘Get me that young woman. I want her to be my wife.’5Jacob heard that his daughter Dinah had been raped. His sons were in the fields with his livestock. So he did nothing about it until they came home.6Then Shechem’s father Hamor went out to talk with Jacob.7Jacob’s sons had come in from the fields. They came as soon as they heard what had happened. They were shocked and very angry. Shechem had done a very terrible thing. He had forced Jacob’s daughter to have sex with him. He had done something that should never be done in Israel.8But Hamor said to Jacob and his sons, ‘My son Shechem wants your daughter. Please give her to him to be his wife.9Let your people and ours get married to each other. Give us your daughters as our wives. You can have our daughters as your wives.10You can live among us. Here is the land. Live in it. Trade in it. Buy property in it.’11Then Shechem spoke to Dinah’s father and brothers. He said, ‘I want to please you. I’ll give you anything you ask for.12Make the price for the bride as high as you want to. I’ll pay you whatever you ask. Just give me the young woman. I want to marry her.’13Their sister Dinah had been raped. So Jacob’s sons lied to Shechem and his father Hamor.14They said to them, ‘We can’t do it. We can’t give our sister to a man who isn’t circumcised. That would bring shame on us.15We’ll agree, but only on one condition. You will have to become like us. You will have to circumcise all your males.16Then we’ll give you our daughters as your wives. And we’ll take your daughters as our wives. We’ll live among you and become one big family with you.17But if you won’t agree to be circumcised, then we’ll take our sister and go.’18Their offer seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem.19The young man was the most honoured of all his father’s family. He didn’t lose any time in doing what Dinah’s father and brothers had said, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter.20Hamor and his son Shechem went to the city gate. They spoke to the other men there.21‘These men are friendly towards us,’ they said. ‘Let them live in our land. Let them trade in it. The land has plenty of room for them. We can marry their daughters. And they can marry ours.22But they will agree to live with us as one big family only on one condition. All our males must be circumcised, just as they are.23Won’t their livestock and their property belong to us? Won’t all their animals become ours? So let’s say yes to them. Then they’ll live among us.’24All the men who went out through the city gate agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem. So every male in the city was circumcised.25Three days later, all of them were still in pain. Then Simeon and Levi took their swords. They were Jacob’s sons and Dinah’s brothers. They attacked the city when the people didn’t expect it. They killed every male.26They also used their swords to kill Hamor and his son Shechem. Then they took Dinah from Shechem’s house and left.27Jacob’s other sons found the dead bodies. They robbed the city where their sister had been raped.28They took the flocks and herds and donkeys. They took everything in the city and in the fields.29They carried everything away. And they took all the women and children. They took away everything in the houses.30Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, ‘You have brought trouble on me. Now I’m like a very bad smell to the Canaanites and Perizzites who live in this land. There aren’t many of us. They may join together against me and attack me. Then I and my family will be destroyed.’31But they replied, ‘Should Shechem have treated our sister like a prostitute?’
Genesis 34
King James Version
1And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.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.3And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.4And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.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.6And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.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' daughter; which thing ought not to be done.8And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife.9And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.10And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.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.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.13And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister: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:15But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be , that every male of you be circumcised;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.17But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.18And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor' son.19And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob' daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house of his father.20And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,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.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.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.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.25And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah' brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.26And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem' house, and went out.27The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.28They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,29And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.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.31And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
1Dina, die Tochter, die Lea Jakob geboren hatte, ging aus, um sich unter den Töchtern des Landes umzusehen.[1] (2Sa 13:1)2Sichem, der Sohn des Hiwiters Hamor, des Landesfürsten, erblickte sie; er ergriff sie, legte sich zu ihr und vergewaltigte sie.3Seine Seele hängte sich an Dina, die Tochter Jakobs, er liebte das Mädchen und redete ihm zu Herzen.4Zu seinem Vater Hamor sagte Sichem: Nimm mir dieses Mädchen zur Frau!5Jakob hörte, dass man seine Tochter Dina entehrt hatte. Seine Söhne waren gerade auf dem Feld bei seiner Herde. Jakob aber schwieg bis zu ihrer Rückkehr.6Da kam Hamor, der Vater Sichems, zu Jakob heraus, um mit ihm darüber zu reden.7Als Jakobs Söhne vom Feld kamen und davon erfuhren, empfanden sie das als Beleidigung und wurden sehr zornig. Denn Sichem hatte eine Schandtat an Israel begangen, weil er bei der Tochter Jakobs gelegen hatte; so etwas darf man nicht tun.8Hamor redete mit ihnen und sagte: Mein Sohn Sichem hat zu eurer Tochter Zuneigung gefasst. Gebt sie ihm doch zur Frau!9Verschwägern wir uns; gebt uns eure Töchter und nehmt euch die unseren!10Ihr könnt euch bei uns ansiedeln und das Land steht euch offen. Bleibt da, zieht umher und siedelt euch an!11Sichem sagte zu Dinas Vater und zu ihren Brüdern: Finde ich Wohlwollen in euren Augen, dann will ich geben, was ihr auch von mir verlangt.12Legt mir ruhig einen hohen Brautpreis und eine Gabe auf! Ich will geben, was ihr von mir verlangt. Nur gebt mir das Mädchen zur Frau!13Die Söhne Jakobs antworteten Sichem und seinem Vater Hamor, aber sie redeten mit Hinterlist, weil er ihre Schwester entehrt hatte.14Sie sagten zu ihnen: Wir können uns nicht darauf einlassen, unsere Schwester einem Unbeschnittenen zu geben; denn das gilt bei uns als Schande.15Nur unter der Bedingung gehen wir darauf ein, dass ihr so werdet wie wir und alle männlichen Personen beschneiden lasst.16Dann würden wir euch unsere Töchter geben und wir könnten eure Töchter nehmen; wir könnten mit euch zusammenwohnen und ein einziges Volk werden.17Wollt ihr aber von der Beschneidung nichts wissen, so nehmen wir unsere Tochter zurück und ziehen fort.18Ihre Worte waren gut in den Augen Hamors und seines Sohnes Sichem.19Der junge Mann verlor keine Zeit, die Angelegenheit zu regeln; denn er hatte die Tochter Jakobs lieb und er war der Angesehenste von allen im Hause seines Vaters.20Hamor und sein Sohn Sichem gingen an das Tor ihrer Stadt und sprachen zu ihren Mitbürgern:21Diese Männer leben in Frieden mit uns. Sie sollen sich im Land ansiedeln und darin umherziehen. Siehe, das Land hat nach allen Seiten Platz genug für sie. Wir könnten ihre Töchter zu Frauen nehmen und unsere Töchter ihnen geben.22Allerdings sind die Männer nur unter dieser Bedingung einverstanden, mit uns zusammenzuwohnen und ein einziges Volk zu werden, wenn sich bei uns alle Männer beschneiden lassen, so wie sie beschnitten sind.23Ihre Herden, ihr Besitz und all ihr Vieh, könnte das nicht uns gehören? Gehen wir also auf ihren Vorschlag ein, dann werden sie bei uns bleiben.24Alle, die durch das Tor seiner Stadt auszogen, hörten auf Hamor und seinen Sohn Sichem; und alle Männer, alle, die durch das Tor seiner Stadt auszogen, ließen sich beschneiden.25Am dritten Tag aber, als sie Schmerzen hatten, griffen zwei Söhne Jakobs, Simeon und Levi, die Brüder Dinas, jeder zu seinem Schwert, drangen unbehelligt in die Stadt ein und brachten alles Männliche um.26Hamor und seinen Sohn Sichem töteten sie mit der Schärfe des Schwertes, holten Dina aus dem Hause Sichems und gingen davon.27Dann machten sich die Söhne Jakobs über die Erschlagenen her und plünderten die Stadt, weil man ihre Schwester entehrt hatte.28Ihre Schafe und Rinder, ihre Esel und was es sonst in der Stadt oder auf dem Feld gab nahmen sie mit.29Ihre ganze Habe, all ihre Kinder und Frauen führten sie fort und plünderten alles, was sich in den Häusern fand.30Jakob sagte darauf zu Simeon und Levi: Ihr stürzt mich ins Unglück. Ihr habt mich in Verruf gebracht bei den Bewohnern des Landes, den Kanaanitern und Perisitern. Ich habe nur wenige Männer. Jene werden sich gegen mich zusammentun und mich schlagen. Dann werden wir - ich und mein Haus - ausgerottet werden. (Ge 49:5)31Die Söhne aber sagten: Durfte er unsere Schwester wie eine Dirne behandeln?
