19. And the young man did not delay to do this because he delighted in Ya‛aqoḇ’s daughter. Now he was more respected than all the household of his father.
20. And Ḥamor and Sheḵem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke with the men of their city, saying,
21. “These men are at peace with us, so let them dwell in the land and move about in it. And see, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters for us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
22. “Only on this condition would the men agree to dwell with us, to be one people: if every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised.
23. “Their herds and their possessions, and all their beasts, should they not be ours? Only let us agree with them, and let them dwell with us.”
24. And all who went out of the gate of his city listened to Ḥamor and Sheḵem his son; every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
25. And it came to be on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Ya‛aqoḇ, Shim‛on and Lĕwi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword and came boldly upon the city and killed all the males.
26. And they killed Ḥamor and Sheḵem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah from Sheḵem’s house, and went out.
27. The sons of Ya‛aqoḇ came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28. They took their flocks and their herds, and their donkeys, and that which was in the city and that which was in the field,
29. and all their wealth. And all their little ones and their wives they took captive, and they plundered all that was in the houses.
30. And Ya‛aqoḇ said to Shim‛on and Lĕwi, “You have troubled me by making me a stench among the inhabitants of the land, among the Kena‛anites and the Perizzites. And I am few in number, they shall gather themselves against me and shall smite me, and I shall be destroyed, my household and I.”
