Genesis 34:20-31
20And HamorH2544 and ShechemH7927 his sonH1121 cameH935 to the gateH8179 of their cityH5892, and spokeH1696 to the menH376 of their cityH5892, sayingH559, 21These menH376 are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwellH3427 in the landH776, and trade in it. And the landH776 — behold, it is of wideH7342 extent before them. We will takeH3947 their daughtersH1323 as wivesH802, and giveH5414 them our daughtersH1323. 22But onlyH389 in this will the menH376 consent to us to dwellH3427 with us, to beH1961 oneH259 peopleH5971 — if every maleH2145 among us beH1961 circumcisedH4135, just as they are circumcisedH4135. 23Their cattleH929, and their possessions, and every beast of theirs, shall they not be ours? onlyH389 let us consent to them, and they will dwellH3427 with us. 24And all that wentH3318 out at the gateH8179 of his cityH5892 hearkened to HamorH2544 and to ShechemH7927 his sonH1121; and every maleH2145 was circumcisedH4135 — all that wentH3318 out at the gateH8179 of his cityH5892. 25And it cameH935 to pass on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, when they wereH1961 sore, that twoH8147 of the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290, SimeonH8095 and LeviH3878, Dinah's brethren, tookH3947 each his swordH2719, and cameH935 upon the cityH5892 boldly, and slewH2026 all the malesH2145. 26And HamorH2544 and ShechemH7927 his sonH1121 they slewH2026 with the edge of the swordH2719; and tookH3947 DinahH1783 out of Shechem's houseH1004; and wentH3318 out. 27The sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 cameH935 upon the slainH2491, and plunderedH962 the cityH5892, because they had defiledH2930 their sisterH269. 28Their sheepH6629, and their oxenH1241, and their asses, and what [was] in the cityH5892, and what [was] in the fieldH7704 they tookH3947; 29and all their goods, and all their littleH2945 onesH2945, and their wivesH802 tookH7617 they captiveH7617, and plunderedH962 them, and all that was in the housesH1004. 30And JacobH3290 saidH559 to SimeonH8095 and LeviH3878, Ye have troubledH5916 me, in that ye make me odiousH887 among the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 — among the CanaanitesH3669 and the Perizzites; and I am few men in numberH4557, and they will gatherH622 themselves against me and smite me, and I shall be destroyedH8045, I and my houseH1004. 31And they saidH559, Should people deal with our sisterH269 as with a harlot?
