New Testament

Genesis 34:24-30 Modern English Version (MEV)

24. All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor and Shechem his son, and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.

25. On the third day, when they were in pain, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, took their swords and went to the unsuspecting city and killed all the males.

26. They killed Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword and took Dinah out of the house of Shechem and departed.

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

28. They took their flocks and their herds, their donkeys and whatever was in the city and in the fields.

29. They took captive and looted all their wealth, all their little ones, and their wives, even all that was in each house.

30. Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble on me by making me revolting among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. Our being few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and slay me, and I will be destroyed, both I and my household.”
