Genesis 34 And Deina the daughter of Leia, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to make an acquaintance with the daughters of the neighbours.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Deina the daughter of Leia, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to make an acquaintance with the daughters of the neighbours. ² And Sychem the son of Emmor the Evite, who was the prince of the country, saw her and took her and lay with her and humbled her. ³ And having applied himself to gain the affections of Deina the daughter of Jacob, for he loved the virgin, and having spoken to her according to the wishes of the virgin, ⁴ Sychem said to his father Emmor, Get me this young woman for a wife. ⁵ Now Jacob had heard that the son of Emmor had defiled his daughter Deina; but as his sons were with the cattle in the field Jacob held his peace till they came. ⁶ So Emmor the father of Sychem went out to Jacob to speak to him; ⁷ and Jacob's sons came from the plain. And when the men heard, they were stung to the quick; and it was exceedingly painful to them, that he had brought dishonour on Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, and it should not pass so. ⁸ And Emmor spoke to them saying, My son Sychem hath a passionate fondness for your daughter, therefore give her to him for a wife, ⁹ and unite yourselves to us by the ties of affinity. Give us your daughters and take our daughters for your sons ¹⁰ and dwell among us. Behold the land before you is spacious. Dwell and trade therein and purchase possessions in it. ¹¹ Sychem also said to her father and to her brothers, Let me find favour in your sight; and what ever you say we will give. ¹² Make the dower ever so great I will give whatever you tell me, so you give me this damsel for a wife. ¹³ But the sons of Jacob answered Sychem and Emmor his father deceitfully. And because their sister had been defiled, ¹⁴ Symeon and Levi the brothers of Deina spoke to them and said, We cannot do this thing to give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised; for that with us is a reproach. ¹⁵ On this condition only will we coalesce with you and dwell with you if you become like us by every male of you being circumcised, ¹⁶ then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters for wives, and dwell among you and be as one race. ¹⁷ But if you will not hearken to us to be circumcised, we will take our daughter and depart. ¹⁸ And the proposal pleased Emmor and Sychem the son of Emmor. ¹⁹ And the young man made no delay to carry this into execution, for he was passionately fond of Jacob's daughter. Now he was the most honourable of all his father's family: ²⁰ so Emmor and his son Sychem went to the gate of their city and spoke to the men of their city saying. ²¹ These are peaceable men; let them dwell with us in the land and use it for the purposes of trade. Behold the land before them is spacious. Let us take their daughters for our wives and give them our daughters. ²² Only on this condition will these men dwell with us so as to be one people; that every male among us be circumcised as they are circumcised. ²³ Will not their cattle and four footed beasts and all their substance become ours? Let us only be like them in this, and they will dwell with us. ²⁴ Accordingly all who went in at the gate of their city hearkened to Emmor and his son Sychem and were every male of them, circumcised. ²⁵ And on the third day when they were in pain, the two sons of Jacob, Symeon and Levi the brothers of Deina took, each his sword and entered the city without danger and slew every male. ²⁶ They slew both Emmor and Sychem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Deina out of Sychem's house and went away. ²⁷ And the sons of Jacob came upon the slain and rifled the city in which their sister Deina had been defiled; ²⁸ and took their flocks and their herds and their asses, both all that was in the city and all that was in the field, ²⁹ and took captive all their servants and all their children and their wives and plundered what was in the city and what was in the houses. ³⁰ Thereupon Jacob said to Symeon and Levi, You have made me an object of hatred so as to be deemed a mortal enemy to all the inhabitants of the land, both to the Chananites and the Pherezites. Now as I am few in number they will assemble against me and fall upon me, and I and my house shall be utterly destroyed. ³¹ And they said, But shall they treat our sister like a harlot?
