10. You shall dwell with us and the land shall be before you; settle and trade in it, and acquire property in it.”
11. Then Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I will do.
12. Make the bride price and gift as high as you like; I will give what you say to me. But give me the girl as a wife.”
13. Then the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father Hamor speaking deceitfully, because he had defiled Dinah their sister.
14. And they said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised, for that is a disgrace for us.
15. Only on this condition will we give consent to you; if you will become like us—every male among you to be circumcised.
16. Then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take for ourselves your daughters, and we will live with you and become one family.
17. But if you will not listen to us, to be circumcised, then we will take our daughters and we will go.”
18. And their words were good in the eyes of Hamor and in the eyes of Shechem, the son of Hamor.
19. And the young man did not delay to do the thing, for he wanted the daughter of Jacob. Now he was the most honored of his father’s house.
20. Then Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city, and they spoke to the men of their city, saying,
21. “These men are at peace with us. Let them dwell in the land and let them trade in it. Now, behold, the land is broad enough for them. Let us take their daughters as wives, and let us give our daughters to them.
22. Only on this condition will they give consent to us, to live with us and to become one family—when every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised.
23. Will not their livestock and their property and all their animals be ours? Only let us give consent to them so they will live among us.”
24. And all those who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor and Shechem. Every male was circumcised, all those who went out of the gate of his city.
25. And it happened that on the third day, while they were in pain, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, the brothers of Dinah, each took his sword and came against the unsuspecting city and killed all the males.
26. They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the edge of the sword, and they took Dinah from the house of Shechem and went out.
27. The other sons of Jacob came upon the slain and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
