Genesis 34:26-31 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

26. Dinah’s brothers, Simeon and Levi, killed Hamor and his son Shechem. Then they took Dinah out of Shechem’s house and left.

27. Jacob’s sons went to the city and stole everything that was there because of what Shechem had done to their sister.

28. So the brothers took all their animals, all their donkeys, and everything else in the city and in the fields.

29. The brothers took everything those people owned. They even took their wives and children.

30. But Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have caused me a lot of trouble. All the people in this place will hate me. All the Canaanites and the Perizzites will turn against me. There are only a few of us. If the people in this place gather together to fight against us, I will be destroyed. And all our people will be destroyed with me.”

31. But the brothers said, “Should we let these people treat our sister like a prostitute? They were wrong to do that to our sister!”
