1 利亚给雅各所生的女儿底拿， 出去要看看当地的女子。 2 当地的首长， 希未人哈抹的儿子示剑， 看见她， 就拉住她， 把她强奸， 污辱了她。 3 示剑的心恋慕雅各的女儿底拿， 他深爱这少女， 就用甜言蜜语安慰她。 4 示剑对他父亲哈抹说： "求你为我聘这女子为妻。" 5 雅各听见示剑奸污了他的女儿底拿； 但那时他的儿子正在田间看守他的牲畜， 所以他没有作声， 只等他们回来。 6 示剑的父亲哈抹出来见雅各， 要与他商议。 7 雅各的儿子听见了这事， 就从田间回来； 各人都感到非常悲痛和忿怒， 因为示剑在以色列中作了丑事， 就是把雅各的女儿奸污了， 这是不应该作的。 8 哈抹与他们商议说： "我儿子示剑的心依恋你们家的女儿， 请你们把她给我的儿子为妻吧。 9 你们与我们可以彼此结亲； 你们可以把女儿嫁给我们， 也可以娶我们的女儿为妻。 10 这样， 你们可以与我们同住； 这地就摆在你们面前， 只管在其中居住， 来往作买卖， 购置产业吧。" 11 示剑对底拿的父亲和她的兄弟说： "但愿我得你们的喜悦， 无论你们要什么， 我必给你们。 12 任由你们向我要多重的聘金和多大的礼物， 我必照你们所说的给你们， 只要你们把这少女给我为妻就是了。" 13 雅各的众子， 因为示剑奸污了他们的妹妹底拿， 就用欺诈的话回答示剑和他父亲哈抹， 14 对他们说： "我们不能把妹妹给一个没有受割礼的人为妻， 因为那是我们的耻辱。 15 只有一个条件， 我们才可以答允你们， 就是你们当中所有的男子都受割礼， 像我们一样。 16 我们就可以把女儿嫁给你们， 也可以娶你们的女儿为妻； 我们可以与你们同住， 大家成为一族人。 17 但如果你们不肯听从我们受割礼， 我就要把我们家的女儿带走了。" 18 哈抹和他儿子示剑觉得他们的提议很好。 19 那少年就立刻照着去作， 因为他喜爱雅各的女儿； 他在他父亲的全家中又是最受尊敬的。 20 哈抹和他儿子示剑来到自己的城的门口， 对城里的人说： 21 "这些人与我们和平相处， 不如让他们在这地居住， 来往作买卖吧。这地两边都很宽阔， 可以容纳他们； 我们可以娶他们的女儿为妻， 也可以把我们的女儿嫁给他们。 22 但是只有一个条件， 这些人才应允与我们同住， 大家成为一族人， 就是我们中间所有的男子都受割礼， 好像他们受了割礼一样。 23 这样他们的牲畜、财产和所有的牲口， 不都要归我们所有吗？只要我们应允他们的条件， 他们就与我们同住了。" 24 所有从城门出入的人， 都听从了哈抹和他儿子示剑的话。于是， 所有从城门出入的男子， 都受了割礼。 25 到了第三天， 他们正在疼痛的时候， 雅各的两个儿子， 就是底拿的哥哥西缅和利未拿着刀剑， 趁着他们想不到的时候， 进了那城， 把所有的男子都杀了。 26 又用刀剑杀了哈抹和他儿子示剑， 然后从示剑的家里把底拿带走。 27 雅各的儿子因为他们的妹妹被人奸污了， 就来到被杀的人那里， 抢掠那城， 28 夺去他们的羊群、牛群和驴， 以及城里和田间所有的， 29 又把他们所有的财物、孩子和妇女都掳去。屋里所有的东西， 都抢掠一空。 30 雅各对西缅和利未说： "你们连累了我， 使我在这地的居民， 就是在迦南人和比利洗人中间， 成了可憎的人。我们人数不多， 如果他们联合起来对付我， 攻击我， 我和我的家就必灭绝了。" 31 他们回答说： "他怎可以待我们的妹妹好像妓女一样呢？"

1 And Dinah, daughter of Leah, whom she hath borne to Jacob, goeth out to look on the daughters of the land,2 and Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, a prince of the land, seeth her, and taketh her, and lieth with her, and humbleth her;3 and his soul cleaveth to Dinah, daughter of Jacob, and he loveth the young person, and speaketh unto the heart of the young person.4 And Shechem speaketh unto Hamor his father, saying, `Take for me this damsel for a wife.`5 And Jacob hath heard that he hath defiled Dinah his daughter, and his sons were with his cattle in the field, and Jacob kept silent till their coming.6 And Hamor, father of Shechem, goeth out unto Jacob to speak with him;7 and the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard, and the men grieve themselves, and it [is] very displeasing to them, for folly he hath done against Israel, to lie with the daughter of Jacob -- and so it is not done.8 And Hamor speaketh with them, saying, `Shechem, my son, his soul hath cleaved to your daughter; give her, I pray you, to him for a wife,9 and join ye in marriage with us; your daughters ye give to us, and our daughters ye take to yourselves,10 and with us ye dwell, and the land is before you; dwell ye and trade [in] it, and have possessions in it.`11 And Shechem saith unto her father, and unto her brethren, `Let me find grace in your eyes, and that which ye say unto me, I give;12 multiply on me exceedingly dowry and gift, and I give as ye say unto me, and give to me the young person for a wife.`13 And the sons of Jacob answer Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and they speak (because he defiled Dinah their sister),14 and say unto them, `We are not able to do this thing, to give our sister to one who hath a foreskin: for it [is] a reproach to us.15 `Only for this we consent to you; if ye be as we, to have every male of you circumcised,16 then we have given our daughters to you, and your daughters we take to ourselves, and we have dwelt with you, and have become one people;17 and if ye hearken not unto us to be circumcised, then we have taken our daughter, and have gone.`18 And their words are good in the eyes of Hamor, and in the eyes of Shechem, Hamor`s son;19 and the young man delayed not to do the thing, for he had delight in Jacob`s daughter, and he is honourable above all the house of his father.20 And Hamor cometh -- Shechem his son also -- unto the gate of their city, and they speak unto the men of their city, saying,21 `These men are peaceable with us; then let them dwell in the land, and trade [in] it; and the land, lo, [is] wide before them; their daughters let us take to ourselves for wives, and our daughters give to them.22 `Only for this do the men consent to us, to dwell with us, to become one people, in every male of us being circumcised, as they are circumcised;23 their cattle, and their substance, and all their beasts -- are they not ours? only let us consent to them, and they dwell with us.`24 And unto Hamor, and unto Shechem his son, hearken do all those going out of the gate of his city, and every male is circumcised, all those going out of the gate of his city.25 And it cometh to pass, on the third day, in their being pained, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah`s brethren, take each his sword, and come in against the city confidently, and slay every male;26 and Hamor, and Shechem his son, they have slain by the mouth of the sword, and they take Dinah out of Shechem`s house, and go out.27 Jacob`s sons have come in upon the wounded, and they spoil the city, because they had defiled their sister;28 their flock and their herd, and their asses, and that which [is] in the city, and that which [is] in the field, have they taken;29 and all their wealth, and all their infants, and their wives they have taken captive, and they spoil also all that [is] in the house.30 And Jacob saith unto Simeon and unto Levi, `Ye have troubled me, by causing me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanite, and among the Perizzite: and I [am] few in number, and they have been gathered against me, and have smitten me, and I have been destroyed, I and my house.`31 And they say, `As a harlot doth he make our sister?`
