¹ Then went forth Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob,––to see the daughters of the land. ² And Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the land, saw her,––so he took her, and lay with her, and humbled her. ³ And his soul clave unto Dinah, daughter of Jacob,––and he loved the young woman, and spake to the heart of the young woman. ⁴ Then spake Shechem unto Hamor his father, saying,––Take me this girl, to wife! ⁵ Now, Jacob, had heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter, but, his sons, happened to be with his cattle, in the field,––so Jacob kept quiet, until they came in.
⁶ Then came forth Hamor, father of Shechem, unto Jacob,––to speak with him. ⁷ Now, the sons of Jacob, came in from the field, as soon as they heard, and the men were grieved, and it was vexing to them exceedingly,––for, a disgraceful deed, had he done with Israel, in lying with Jacob’s daughter, seeing that, so, it should not be done. ⁸ So then Hamor spake with them, saying––As for Shechem my son, his soul hath become attached to your daughter,––I pray you give her to him, to wife. ⁹ And exchange ye daughters with us in marriage,––your daughters, shall ye give to us, and, our daughters, shall ye take to you. ¹⁰ And, with us, shall ye dwell,––and, the land, shall be before you, tarry, and go through it, and get possessions therein. ¹¹ Then said Shechem unto her father, and unto her brethren, Let me find favour in your eyes,––and, whatsoever ye may say unto me, will I give: ¹² Heap on me, exceedingly, dowry and gift, and I will give, just as ye may say unto me,––but give me the young woman, to wife. ¹³ And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem, and Hamor his father, deceitfully, and spake (because he had defiled Dinah their sister)–– ¹⁴ and said unto them––We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to a man that is uncircumcised,––for, a reproach, it would be to us. ¹⁵ Only herein, can we consent to you,––If ye will become like us, by circumcising to you every male, ¹⁶ then will we give our daughters to, you, and, your daughters, will we take to, us,––and we will dwell with you, and become one people. ¹⁷ But, if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter, and be gone.
¹⁸ And their words looked fair, in the eyes of Hamor,––and in the eyes of Shechem, Hamor’s son; ¹⁹ and the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter,––he, moreover being more honourable than all the house of his father. ²⁰ So Hamor entered, with Shechem his son, into the gate of their city,––and they spake unto the men of their city, saying: ²¹ As for these men, in peace, they are, with us––let them therefore dwell in the land, and go through it, for, the land, lo! it is roomy on both hands, before them,––their daughters, let us take to us for wives, and, our daughters, let us give to them. ²² Only herein, will the men consent to us, to dwell with us, to become one people,––If we circumcise to us every male, even as, they, are circumcised. ²³ Their herds, and their substance, and all their beasts, shall, they, not be, ours? Only, we must consent to them, that they may dwell with us. ²⁴ And they hearkened unto Hamor, and unto Shechem his son, even all that were going forth out of the gate of his city,––and every male was circumcised, all that were going forth out of the gate of his city.
²⁵ And it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, took each man his sword, and came in upon the city, boldly,––and slew every male; ²⁶ Hamor also, and Shechem his son, slew they with the edge of the sword,––and took Dinah out of the house of Shechem, and came forth. ²⁷ The sons of Jacob, came in upon the slain, and plundered the city,––because they had defiled their sister: ²⁸ their flocks, and their herds, and their asses,––and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field, they took; ²⁹ and, all their wealth, and all their little ones and their women, took they captive, and seized as plunder,––even all that was in their houses. ³⁰ Then said Jacob unto Simeon and unto Levi––Ye have troubled me, by making me odious among them that dwell in the land, among the Canaanites, and among the Perizzites,––I, having only men that may be counted, they will gather themselves together against me, and smite me,––and I shall be destroyed, both I, and my house. ³¹ And they said,––As with a harlot, was he to deal with our sister.

¹⁶ And, when a man enticeth a virgin who is not betrothed, and lieth with her, he shall, surely pay a purchase–price, that she may be his wife. ¹⁷ If her father, utterly refuse, to give her to him, silver, shall he weigh out, according to the purchase–price of virgins.

¹ Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying: ² Exact thou, the avenging of the sons of Israel, from the Midianites,––and, afterwards, shalt thou be withdrawn unto thy kinsfolk. ³ So Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm ye from among you men, for the war,––and let them go against Midian, to render the avenging of Yahweh upon Midian. ⁴ A thousand from each tribe,––of all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send forth unto the war. ⁵ And there volunteered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of each tribe,––twelve thousand, armed for war. ⁶ And Moses sent them, a thousand of each tribe, to the war,––them, and Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary, and the alarm trumpets, in his hand.
⁷ So they made war upon Midian, as Yahweh had commanded Moses,––and slew every male: ⁸ and, the kings of Midian, slew they besides their other slain––namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian,––Balaam also, son of Beor, slew they with the sword. ⁹ And the sons of Israel took captive the women of Midian, and their little ones,––all their cattle also, and all their flocks, and all their substance, carried they off as a prey; ¹⁰ all their cities also, in their sites, and all their encampments, burned they up with fire.

²⁵ But, if, in the field, the man find the betrothed damsel, and the man force her and lie with her, then shall the man that lay with her die, he alone;

¹¹ Then took they all the spoil, and all the booty,––both of man and beast; ¹² and brought in unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the assembly of the sons of Israel––the captives, and the booty, and the spoil, unto the camp,––unto the waste plains of Moab, which are by Jordan, near Jericho.
¹³ And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the assembly, went forth to meet them,––unto the outside, of the camp. ¹⁴ Then was Moses sore displeased with the officers of the force,––the princes of thousands, and the princes of hundreds, who were coming in from the warring host. ¹⁵ And Moses said unto them,––Have ye saved alive every female? ¹⁶ Lo! they, became unto the sons of Israel, by the advice of Balaam, the cause of daring acts of treachery against Yahweh, over the affair of Peor,––and then came the plague against the assembly of Yahweh! ¹⁷ Now, therefore, slay ye every male among the young,––every woman also that hath cohabited with man, slay ye. ¹⁸ But, all the young of womankind that have not cohabited with man, preserve alive for yourselves. ¹⁹ Ye, then, pitch outside the camp, for seven days,––whosoever hath killed a person, and whoever hath touched the slain, cleanse yourselves (from sin) on the third day, and on the seventh day, ye, and your captives. ²⁰ Every garment also, and every article of skin, and every thing made of goat’s–hair, and every article of wood, shall ye cleanse (from sin). ²¹ Then said Eleazar the priest unto the men of the host, who had been to the war: This, is the statute of the law, which Yahweh hath commanded Moses: ²² Surely, the gold, and the silver,––the bronze, the iron, the tin and the lead, ²³ whatsoever thing can go into fire, ye shall pass through fire, and it shall be clean, only, with the water of separation, shall ye cleanse it (from sin). But, whatsoever cannot go into fire, ye shall pass through water. ²⁴ And ye shall wash your clothes, on the seventh day, and be clean,––and, afterwards, shall ye come into the camp.
²⁵ Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying: ²⁶ Reckon thou up the sum of the booty that was captured, both of man and of beast,––thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the ancestral heads of the assembly; ²⁷ and divide the booty into two parts, between them who took upon them the war, who went out in the host,––and all the [rest of the] assembly. ²⁸ Then shalt thou levy a tribute unto Yahweh––from the men of war, who went forth in the host, one living thing, out of five hundred,––of the human beings, and of the herd, and of the asses, and of the flock: ²⁹ out of their half, shall ye take [them], ––and thou shall give [them] unto Eleazar the priest, as a heave–offering unto Yahweh. ³⁰ And, out of the half allotted to the sons of Israel, shalt thou take one allotted portion out of fifty, of the human beings, of the herd, of the asses and of the flock, of all the cattle,––and shalt give them unto the Levites, who keep the charge of the habitation of Yahweh. ³¹ And Moses and Eleazar the priest did,––As Yahweh commanded Moses. ³² And it came to pass that the booty, over and above the prey which the people of the host had seized, was,––of the flock, six hundred and seventy–five thousand; ³³ and, of the herd, seventy–two thousand; ³⁴ and, of the asses, sixty–one thousand; ³⁵ and, of the human persons, even of the woman–kind who had not cohabited with man,––all the persons, thirty–two thousand. ³⁶ And the half, the share of them who had gone forth in the host, was,––the number of the flock––three hundred and thirty–seven thousand, and five hundred; ³⁷ and so, the tribute unto Yahweh, out of the flock, was––six hundred and seventy–five; ³⁸ and, the herd, thirty–six thousand,––and, the tribute of them unto Yahweh––seventy–two; ³⁹ and, the asses, thirty thousand, and five hundred,––and, the tribute of them unto Yahweh, sixty–one; ⁴⁰ and, the human persons, sixteen thousand,––and, the tribute of them unto Yahweh, thirty–two persons. ⁴¹ And Moses gave the tribute––the heave–offering of Yahweh, unto Eleazar the priest,––As Yahweh commanded Moses. ⁴² And, of the half, allotted unto the sons of Israel,––which Moses halved away from the men who had gone out in the host, ⁴³ the half allotted unto the assembly, was––of the flock, three hundred and thirty–seven thousand, and five hundred; ⁴⁴ and, of the herd, six and thirty thousand; ⁴⁵ and, of asses, thirty thousand and five hundred; ⁴⁶ and, human persons, sixteen thousand. ⁴⁷ So then Moses took––out of the half belonging to the sons of Israel, the allotted portion, one out of fifty, of the human beings, and of the beasts,––and gave them unto the Levites, the keepers of the charge of the habitation of Yahweh, As Yahweh commanded Moses.
⁴⁸ Then came near unto Moses, the officers who belonged unto the thousands of the host,––the princes of thousands, and the princes of hundreds; ⁴⁹ and said unto Moses, Thy servants, have reckoned up the sum of the men of war who are in our hand,––and there is not missed from among us, a man! ⁵⁰ Therefore have we brought near an offering unto Yahweh, what, each man, hath found––articles of gold, ankle chains and bracelets, rings, earrings and buckles,––to put a propitiatory–covering over our souls, before Yahweh. ⁵¹ So Moses, and Eleazar the priest took the gold, of them,––all the wrought articles. ⁵² And all the gold of the heave–offering which they offered up unto Yahweh, was––sixteen thousand, seven hundred and fifty shekels,––of the princes of thousands, and of the princes of hundreds. ⁵³ The men of the host, had taken prey, each man for himself. ⁵⁴ So then Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the princes of thousands, and hundreds,––and brought it into the tent of meeting, as a memorial for the sons of Israel, before Yahweh.

¹² But she said to him––Nay! my brother, do not force me, for it should not be done so in Israel,––do not commit this vileness. ¹³ And, I,––whither could I take my reproach? Thou, too, wouldest be as one of the vile fellows, in Israel. Now, therefore, speak, I pray thee, unto the king, for he would not withhold me from thee. ¹⁴ But he would not hearken unto her voice,––and, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.

⁹ Thus be Yahweh a refuge for the crushed one, a refuge for times of destitution:

²⁵ Ye husbands, be loving your wives, even as, the Christ also, loved the assembly, and delivered, himself, up in her behalf,

²⁵ But, if, in the field, the man find the betrothed damsel, and the man force her and lie with her, then shall the man that lay with her die, he alone; ²⁶ but, unto the damsel, shalt thou do nothing, the damsel, is not guilty of a sin worthy of death, for, as when a man riseth up against his neighbour, and smiteth him so as to take away life, so, is this matter; ²⁷ for, in the field, he found her,––the betrothed damsel, made an outcry, and there was none to save her.

¹⁰ When thou shalt go forth to war, against thine enemies,––and Yahweh thy God shall deliver them into thy hand, and thou shalt take them captive; ¹¹ and shalt see among the captives a woman of beautiful figure,––and shalt have a desire unto her, and wouldest take [her] to thee to wife, ¹² then shalt thou bring her into the midst of thy house,––and she shall shave her head and pare her nails; ¹³ and put away the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thy house, and bewail her father and her mother, for the space of a month,––and, after that, mayest thou go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife. ¹⁴ And it shall be, if thou hast no pleasure in her, then shalt thou let her go whither she will, but thou shalt not, sell, her for silver,––thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.

²⁸ When a man findeth a damsel that is a virgin who is not betrothed, and layeth hold of her, and lieth with her, and they are found,

¹ And it came to pass, after this, that, Absolom, son of David, having a beautiful sister, whose name, was Tamar, Amnon son of David loved her. ² And it so troubled Amnon, that he made himself ill on account of Tamar his sister, for, a virgin, was she, and it was monstrous in Amnon’s own eyes, to do, anything, unto her. ³ But, Amnon, had a friend, whose name, was Jonadab, son of Shimeah, David’s brother,––and, Jonadab, was a very cunning man. ⁴ So he said to him,––Why art thou looking so wretched––a king’s son too––morning by morning? Wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said to him, With Tamar, my brother Absolom’s sister, am I in love. ⁵ And Jonadab said unto him: Take to thy bed, and feign thyself ill,––and, when thy father cometh in to see thee, then shalt thou say unto him––I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, that she may give me food, and let her prepare, before mine eyes, some delicacy, to the end that I may see [it made], and so eat at her hand. ⁶ So Amnon took to his bed, and feigned himself ill,––and, when the king came in to see him, Amnon said unto the king––I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make ready before mine eyes a couple of cakes, that I may eat at her hand. ⁷ So David sent unto Tamar, in the house––saying,––Come, I pray thee, to the house of Amnon thy brother, and prepare him enticing food. ⁸ And Tamar went to the house of Amnon her brother, he having taken to his bed,––and took dough and kneaded it, and folded it before his eyes, and baked the cakes. ⁹ Then took she the pan and put them out before him, but he refused to eat. And Amnon said––Have forth every one from me. And they went out every one from him. ¹⁰ Then said Amnon unto Tamar––Bring the food into the chamber, that I may eat out of thine own hand. So Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them in to Amnon her brother, in the chamber. ¹¹ And, when she brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said to her, Come lie with me, my sister! ¹² But she said to him––Nay! my brother, do not force me, for it should not be done so in Israel,––do not commit this vileness. ¹³ And, I,––whither could I take my reproach? Thou, too, wouldest be as one of the vile fellows, in Israel. Now, therefore, speak, I pray thee, unto the king, for he would not withhold me from thee. ¹⁴ But he would not hearken unto her voice,––and, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her. ¹⁵ Then did Amnon hate her with a very great hatred, for, greater, was the hatred wherewith he hated her, than the love wherewith he had loved her,––so Amnon said to her––Rise––begone! ¹⁶ But she said to him––No occasion for this greater wrong, after what thou hast done with me, to put me away! Nevertheless he would not hearken unto her; ¹⁷ but called his young man who waited on him, and said––I pray you, put forth this woman from me, outside,––and bolt the door after her. ¹⁸ Now she had upon her a long tunic, for, so, used king’s daughters to apparel themselves, when they were virgins, in robes. And his attendant took her forth, outside, and bolted the door, after her. ¹⁹ And Tamar put ashes upon her head, and, the long tunic that was upon her, she rent,––and put her hand upon her head, and went her way, crying out as she went. ²⁰ And Absolom her brother said unto her––Hath, Amnon thy brother, been with thee? Now, therefore, my sister, hold thy peace––thy brother, he is, do not lay to thy heart, this thing. But Tamar remained, and was desolate in the house of Absolom her brother.
²¹ And, King David, heard all these things,––and it angered him greatly. ²² And Absolom spake not with Amnon, either bad or good,––though Absolom hated Amnon, because he had forced Tamar his sister. ²³ And it came to pass, after two years of days, that Absolom had, sheepshearers in Baal–hazor, which is beside Ephron,––and Absolom invited all the king’s sons. ²⁴ Absolom came also unto the king, and said, See, I pray thee, thy servant hath, sheepshearers,––I pray thee, let the king and his servants go with thy servant. ²⁵ And the king said unto Absolom––Nay! my son, do not, I pray thee, let us all go, lest we be burdensome upon thee. And, though he urged him, he would not go, but blessed him. ²⁶ Then said Absolom, If not, then, I pray thee, let Amnon my brother go with us. And the king said unto him, Wherefore should he go with thee? ²⁷ And Absolom urged him,––so he let Amnon and all the king’s sons go with him. ²⁸ Now Absolom had commanded his young men, saying––Mark, I pray you, when the heart of Amnon is merry with wine, and I say unto you––Smite ye Amnon, then shall ye put him to death, do not fear,––have not, I myself, commanded you? Be bold, and show yourselves to be sons of valour. ²⁹ So Absolom’s young men did to Amnon as Absolom had commanded. Then arose all the king’s sons, and rode away––each man on his mule, and fled.
³⁰ And it came to pass, while, they, were yet on the road, that, the report, reached David, saying,––Absolom hath smitten all the king’s sons, and there is not left of them, one. ³¹ And the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay on the ground,––and all his servants who stood by rent their garments. ³² Then responded Jonadab son of Shimeah David’s brother, and said––Let not my lord say that they have put, all the young men––the king’s sons, to death; for, Amnon alone, is dead; for, by the bidding of Absolom, was it appointed, from the day that he forced Tamar his sister. ³³ Now, therefore, let not my lord the king lay to his heart such a thing––to say, All the king’s sons, are dead,––but, Amnon alone, is dead. ³⁴ Now Absolom had fled. And the young man that was watching lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! much people, coming on the road behind him, on the mountain–side. ³⁵ So Jonadab said unto the king, Lo! the king’s sons, are come,––according to the word of thy servant, so hath it come to pass. ³⁶ And so it was, as he made an end of speaking, that lo! the king’s sons, came, and lifted up their voice and wept,––the king also, and all his servants, wept with an exceeding great weeping. ³⁷ But, Absolom, had fled, and had taken his journey unto Talmai son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David the king mourned for his son continually, ³⁸ But, Absolom, had fled, and had taken his journey to Geshur,––and it came to pass that he was there three years. ³⁹ And the spirit of the king pined to go forth unto Absolom,––for he had consoled himself over Amnon, in that he was dead.

²⁵ But, if, in the field, the man find the betrothed damsel, and the man force her and lie with her, then shall the man that lay with her die, he alone; ²⁶ but, unto the damsel, shalt thou do nothing, the damsel, is not guilty of a sin worthy of death, for, as when a man riseth up against his neighbour, and smiteth him so as to take away life, so, is this matter; ²⁷ for, in the field, he found her,––the betrothed damsel, made an outcry, and there was none to save her. ²⁸ When a man findeth a damsel that is a virgin who is not betrothed, and layeth hold of her, and lieth with her, and they are found,

²³ When a damsel that is a virgin is betrothed to a husband,––and a man findeth her in the city, and lieth with her, ²⁴ then shall ye bring them, both, out unto the gate of that city, and stone them with stones, that they die, the damsel, because she made not an outcry in the city, and, the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife,––so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst.

²⁸ When a man findeth a damsel that is a virgin who is not betrothed, and layeth hold of her, and lieth with her, and they are found, ²⁹ then shall the man who lay with her give unto the damsel’s father, fifty [shekels] of silver,––and she shall be, his, wife, because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away, all his days.
