Genesis 34:20-31

20So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city and spoke to the men of their city.

21“These men are peaceful toward us,” they said. “Let them live in our land and move about in it, for indeed, the region is large enough for them. Let’s take their daughters as our wives and give our daughters to them.

22But the men will agree to live with us and be one people only on this condition: if all our men are circumcised as they are.

23Won’t their livestock, their possessions, and all their animals become ours? Only let’s agree with them, and they will live with us.”

24All the men who had come to the city gates listened to Hamor and his son Shechem, and all those men were circumcised.

25On the third day, when they were still in pain, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, took their swords, went into the unsuspecting city, and killed every male.

26They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords, took Dinah from Shechem’s house, and went away.

27Jacob’s sons came to the slaughter and plundered the city because their sister had been defiled.

28They took their flocks, herds, donkeys, and whatever was in the city and in the field.

29They captured all their possessions, dependents, and wives and plundered everything in the houses.

30Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble on me, making me odious to the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the Perizzites. We are few in number; if they unite against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.”

31But they answered, “Should he treat our sister like a prostitute?”
