¹ And Dina the daughter of Lia went out to see the women of that country. ² And when Sichem the son of Hemor the Hevite, the prince of that land, saw her, he was in love with her: and took her away, and lay with her, ravishing the virgin. ³ And his soul was fast knit unto her; and whereas she was sad, he comforted her with sweet words. ⁴ And going to Hemor his father, he said: Get me this damsel to wife. ⁵ But when Jacob had heard this, his sons being absent, and employed in feeding the cattle, he held his peace till they came back. ⁶ And when Hemor the father of Sichem was come out to speak to Jacob, ⁷ Behold his sons came from the field: and hearing what had passed, they were exceeding angry, because he had done a foul thing in Israel, and committed an unlawful act, in ravishing Jacob's daughter. ⁸ And Hemor spoke to them: The soul of my son Sichem has a longing for your daughter: give her him to wife: ⁹ And let us contract marriages one with another: give us your daughters, and take you our daughters. ¹⁰ And dwell with us: the land is at your command, till, trade, and possess it. ¹¹ Sichem also said to her father and to her brethren: Let me find favour in your sight, and whatsoever you shall appoint I will give: ¹² Raise the dowry, and ask gifts, and I will gladly give what you shall demand: only give me this damsel to wife. ¹³ The sons of Jacob answered Sichem and his father deceitfully, being enraged at the deflowering of their sister: ¹⁴ We cannot do what you demand, nor give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; which with us is unlawful and abominable. ¹⁵ But in this we may be allied with you, if you will be like us, and all the male sex among you be circumcised: ¹⁶ Then will we mutually give and take your daughters, and ours; and we will dwell with you, and will be one people: ¹⁷ But if you will not be circumcised, we will take our daughter and depart. ¹⁸ Their offer pleased Hemor, and Sichem, his son: ¹⁹ And the young man made no delay, but forthwith fulfilled what was required: for he loved the damsel exceedingly, and he was the greatest man in all his father's house. ²⁰ And going into the gate of the city, they spoke to the people: ²¹ These men are peaceable, and are willing to dwell with us: let them trade in the land, and till it, which being large and wide wanteth men to till it: we shall take their daughters for wives, and we will give them ours. ²² One thing there is for which so great a good is deferred: We must circumcise every male among us, following the manner of the nation. ²³ And their substance, and cattle, and all that they possess, shall be ours; only in this let us condescend, and by dwelling together, we shall make one people. ²⁴ And they all agreed, and circumcised all the males. ²⁵ And behold the third day, when the pain of the wound was greatest: two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, the brothers of Dina, taking their swords, entered boldly into the city and slew all the men. ²⁶ And they killed also Hemor and Sichem, and took away their sister Dina out of Sichem's house. ²⁷ And when they were gone out, the other sons of Jacob came upon the slain; and plundered the city in revenge of the rape. ²⁸ And they took their sheep, and their herds, and their asses, wasting all they had in their houses and in their fields. ²⁹ And their children and wives they took captive. ³⁰ And when they had boldly perpetrated these things, Jacob said to Simeon and Levi: You have troubled me, and made me hateful to the Chanaanites and Pherezites, the inhabitants of this land. We are few: they will gather themselves together and kill me; and both I, and my house shall be destroyed. ³¹ They answered: Should they abuse our sister as a strumpet?

¹⁶ If a man seduce a virgin not yet espoused, and lie with her: he shall endow her, and have her to wife. ¹⁷ If the maid's father will not give her to him, he shall give money according to the dowry, which virgins are wont to receive.

¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: ² Revenge first the children of Israel on the Madianites, and so thou shalt be gathered to thy people. ³ And Moses forthwith said: Arm of you men to fight, who may take the revenge of the Lord on the Madianites. ⁴ Let a thousand men be chosen out of every tribe of Israel to be sent to the war. ⁵ And they gave a thousand of every tribe, that is to say, twelve thousand men well appointed for battle. ⁶ And Moses sent them with Phinees the son of Eleazar the priest, and he delivered to him the holy vessels, and the trumpets to sound. ⁷ And when they had fought against the Madianites and had overcome them, they slew all the men. ⁸ And their kings Evi, and Recem, and Sur, and Hur, and Rebe, five princes of the nation: Balaam also the son of Beor they killed with the sword. ⁹ And they took their women, and their children captives, and all their cattle, and all their goods: and all their possessions they plundered: ¹⁰ And all their cities, and their villages, and castles, they burned. ¹¹ And they carried away the booty, and all that they had taken both of men and of beasts. ¹² And they brought them to Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and to all the multitude of the children of Israel. But the rest of the things for use they carried to the camp on the plains of Moab, beside the Jordan over against Jericho. ¹³ And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the princes of the synagogue went forth to meet them without the camp. ¹⁴ And Moses being angry with the chief officers of the army, the tribunes, and the centurions that were come from the battle, ¹⁵ Said: Why have you saved the women? ¹⁶ Are not these they, that deceived the children of Israel by the counsel of Balaam, and made you transgress against the Lord by the sin of Phogor, for which also the people was punished? ¹⁷ Therefore kill all that are of the male sex, even of the children: and put to death the women, that have carnally known men. ¹⁸ But the girls, and all the women that are virgins save for yourselves: ¹⁹ And stay without the camp seven days. He that hath killed a man, or touched one that is killed, shall be purified the third day and the seventh day. ²⁰ And of all the spoil, every garment, or vessel, or any thing made for use, of the skins, or hair of goats, or of wood, shall be purified. ²¹ Eleazar also the priest spoke to the men of the army, that had fought, in this manner: This is the ordinance of the law, which the Lord hath commanded Moses: ²² Gold, and silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, ²³ And all that may pass through the fire, shall be purified by fire, but whatsoever cannot abide the fire, shall be sanctified with the water of expiation: ²⁴ And you shall wash your garments the seventh day, and being purified, you shall afterwards enter into the camp. ²⁵ And the Lord said to Moses: ²⁶ Take the sum of the things that were taken both of man and beast, thou and Eleazar the priest and the princes of the multitude: ²⁷ And thou shalt divide the spoil equally, between them that fought and went out to the war, and between the rest of the multitude. ²⁸ And thou shalt separate a portion to the Lord from them that fought and were in the battle, one soul of five hundred as well of persons as of oxen and asses and sheep. ²⁹ And thou shalt give it to Eleazar the priest, because they are the firstfruits of the Lord. ³⁰ Out of the moiety also of the children of Israel thou shalt take the fiftieth head of persons, and of oxen, and asses, and sheep, and of all beasts, and thou shalt give them to the Levites that watch in the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord. ³¹ And Moses and Eleazar did as the Lord had commanded. ³² And the spoil which the army had taken, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep, ³³ Seventy-two thousand oxen, ³⁴ Sixty-one thousand asses: ³⁵ And thirty-two thousand persons of the female sex, that had not known men. ³⁶ And one half was given to them that had been in the battle, to wit, three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep: ³⁷ Out of which, for the portion of the Lord, were reckoned six hundred seventy five sheep. ³⁸ And out of the thirty-six thousand oxen, seventy-two oxen: ³⁹ Out of the thirty thousand five hundred asses, sixty-one asses: ⁴⁰ Out of the sixteen thousand persons, there fell to the portion of the Lord, thirty-two souls. ⁴¹ And Moses delivered the number of the firstfruits of the Lord to Eleazar the priest, as had been commanded him, ⁴² Out of the half of the children of Israel, which he had separated for them that had been in the battle. ⁴³ But out of the half that fell to the rest of the multitude, that is to say, out of the three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep, ⁴⁴ And out of the thirty-six thousand oxen, ⁴⁵ And out of the thirty thousand five hundred asses, ⁴⁶ And out of the sixteen thousand persons, ⁴⁷ Moses took the fiftieth head, and gave it to the Levites that watched in the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord had commanded. ⁴⁸ And when the commanders of the army, and the tribunes and centurions were come to Moses, they said: ⁴⁹ We thy servants have reckoned up the number of the fighting men, whom we had under our hand, and not so much as one was wanting. ⁵⁰ Therefore we offer as gifts to the Lord what gold every one of us could find in the booty, in garters and tablets, rings and bracelets, and chains, that thou mayst pray to the Lord for us. ⁵¹ And Moses and Eleazar the priest received all the gold in divers kinds, ⁵² In weight sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty sicles, from the tribunes and from the centurions. ⁵³ For that which every one had taken in the booty was his own. ⁵⁴ And that which was received they brought into the tabernacle of the testimony, for a memorial of the children of Israel before the Lord.

²⁵ But if a man find a damsel that is betrothed, in the field, and taking hold of her, lie with her, he alone shall die:

¹² She answered him: Do not so, my brother, do not force me: for no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not thou this folly. ¹³ For I shall not be able to bear my shame, and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel: but rather speak to the king, and he will not deny me to thee. ¹⁴ But he would not hearken to her prayers, but being stronger overpowered her and lay with her.

²⁵ But if a man find a damsel that is betrothed, in the field, and taking hold of her, lie with her, he alone shall die: ²⁶ The damsel shall suffer nothing, neither is she guilty of death: for as a robber riseth against his brother, and taketh away his life, so also did the damsel suffer: ²⁷ She was alone in the field: she cried, and there was no man to help her.

¹⁰ If thou go out to fight against thy enemies, and the Lord thy God deliver them into thy hand, and thou lead them away captives, ¹¹ And seest in the number of the captives a beautiful woman, and lovest her, and wilt have her to wife, ¹² Thou shalt bring her into thy house: and she shall shave her hair, and pare her nails, ¹³ And shall put off the raiment, wherein she was taken: and shall remain in thy house, and mourn for her father and mother one month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and shalt sleep with her, and she shall be thy wife. ¹⁴ But if afterwards she please thee not, thou shalt let her go free, but thou mayst not sell her for money nor oppress her by might because thou hast humbled her.

²⁸ If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, who is not espoused, and taking her, lie with her, and the matter come to judgment:

¹ And it came to pass after this that Ammon the son of David loved the sister of Absalom the son of David, who was very beautiful, and her name was Thamar. ² And he was exceedingly fond of her, so that he fell sick for the love of her: for as she was a virgin, he thought it hard to do any thing dishonestly with her. ³ Now Ammon had a friend, named Jonadab the son of Semmaa the brother of David, a very wise man: ⁴ And he said to him: Why dost thou grow so lean from day to day, O son of the king? why dost thou not tell me the reason of it? And Ammon said to him: I am in love with Thamar the sister of my brother Absalom. ⁵ And Jonadab said to him: Lie down upon thy bed, and feign thyself sick: and when thy father shall come to visit thee, say to him: Let my sister Thamar, I pray thee, come to me, to give me to eat, and to make me a mess, that I may eat it at her hand. ⁶ So Ammon lay down, and made as if he were sick: and when the king came to visit him, Ammon said to the king: I pray thee let my sister Thamar come, and make in my sight two little messes, that I may eat at her hand. ⁷ Then David sent home to Thamar, saying: Come to the house of thy brother Ammon, and make him a mess. ⁸ And Thamar came to the house of Ammon her brother: but he was laid down: and she took meal and tempered it: and dissolving it in his sight she made little messes. ⁹ And taking what she had boiled, she poured it out, and set it before him, but he would not eat: and Ammon said: Put out all persons from me. And when they had put all persons out, ¹⁰ Ammon said to Thamar: Bring the mess into the chamber, that I may eat at thy hand. And Thamar took the little messes which she had made, and brought them in to her brother Ammon in the chamber. ¹¹ And when she had presented him the meat, he took hold of her, and said: Come lie with me, my sister. ¹² She answered him: Do not so, my brother, do not force me: for no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not thou this folly. ¹³ For I shall not be able to bear my shame, and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel: but rather speak to the king, and he will not deny me to thee. ¹⁴ But he would not hearken to her prayers, but being stronger overpowered her and lay with her. ¹⁵ Then Ammon hated her with an exceeding great hatred: so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before. And Ammon said to her: Arise, and get thee gone. ¹⁶ She answered him: The evil which now thou dost against me, in driving me away, is greater than that which thou didst before. And he would not hearken to her: ¹⁷ But calling the servants that ministered to him, he said: Thrust this woman out from me: and shut the door after her. ¹⁸ And she was clothed with a long robe: for the king's daughters that were virgins, used such kind of garments. Then his servant thrust her out: and shut the door after her. ¹⁹ And she put ashes on her head, and rent her long robe and laid her hands upon her head, and went on crying. ²⁰ And Absalom her brother said to her: Hath thy brother Ammon lain with thee? but now, sister, hold thy peace, he is thy brother: and afflict not thy heart for this thing. So Thamar remained pining away in the house of Absalom her brother. ²¹ And when king David heard of these things he was exceedingly grieved: and he would not afflict the spirit of his son Ammon, for he loved him, because he was his firstborn. ²² But Absalom spoke not to Ammon neither good nor evil: for Absalom hated Ammon because he had ravished his sister Thamar. ²³ And it came to pass after two years, that the sheep of Absalom were shorn in Baalhasor, which is near Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons: ²⁴ And he came to the king, and said to him: Behold thy servant's sheep are shorn. Let the king, I pray, with his servants come to his servant. ²⁵ And the king said to Absalom: Nay, my son, do not ask that we should all come, and be chargeable to thee. And when he pressed him, and he would not go, he blessed him. ²⁶ And Absalom said: If thou wilt not come, at least let my brother Ammon, I beseech thee, come with us. And the king said to him: It is not necessary that he should go with thee. ²⁷ But Absalom pressed him, so that he let Ammon and all the king's sons go with him. And Absalom made a feast as it were the feast of a king. ²⁸ And Absalom had commanded his servants, saying: Take notice when Ammon shall be drunk with wine, and when I shall say to you: Strike him, and kill him, fear not: for it is I that command you: take courage, and be valiant men. ²⁹ And the servants of Absalom did to Ammon as Absalom had commanded them. And all the king's sons arose and got up every man upon his mule, and fled. ³⁰ And while they were yet in the way, a rumour came to David, saying: Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one them left. ³¹ Then the king rose up, and rent his garments: and fell upon the ground, and all his servants, that stood about him, rent their garments. ³² But Jonadab the son of Semmaa David's brother answering, said: Let not my lord the king think that all the king's sons are slain: Ammon only is dead, for he was appointed by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he ravished his sister Thamar. ³³ Now therefore let not my lord the king take this thing into his heart, saying: All the king's sons are slain: for Ammon only is dead. ³⁴ But Absalom fled away: and the young man that kept the watch, lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold there came much people by a by-way on the side of the mountain. ³⁵ And Jonadab said to the king: Behold the king's sons are come: as thy servant said, so it is. ³⁶ And when he made an end of speaking, the king's sons also appeared: and coming in they lifted up their voice, and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very much. ³⁷ But Absalom fled, and went to Tholomai the son of Ammiud the king of Gessur. And David mourned for his son every day. ³⁸ And Absalom after he was fled, and come into Gessur, was there three years. ^{39 (13:38)} And king David ceased to pursue after Absalom, because he was comforted concerning the death of Ammon.

²³ If a man have espoused a damsel that is a virgin, and some one find her in the city, and lie with her, ²⁴ Thou shalt bring them both out to the gate of that city, and they shall be stoned: the damsel, because she cried not out, being in the city: the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife. And thou shalt take away the evil from the midst of thee.

²⁸ If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, who is not espoused, and taking her, lie with her, and the matter come to judgment: ²⁹ He that lay with her shall give to the father of the maid fifty sicles of silver, and shall have her to wife, because he hath humbled her: he may not put her away all the days of his life.
