Genesis 34:20-31

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

21They said, ‘Jacob's family are our friends. Let them live in our land, and buy and sell things. This land is big enough for them and us. We can marry their daughters, and they can marry our daughters.

22But we must do the one thing that they have asked us to do. We must circumcise all our males in the same way that they do. If we do that, they will agree to live among us.

23Then their things and their animals will all become our things. So we should agree to be circumcised, as they ask. Then they will live among us.’

24All the men who were at the city gate agreed with Hamor and Shechem. So every male in the city was circumcised.

25Three days after the men were circumcised, they still had a lot of pain. Then two of Jacob's sons attacked Shechem's men with their swords. None of the men were ready to fight. Jacob's two sons were Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers. They killed every male in the city.

26They killed Hamor and his son Shechem. Then they took Dinah from Shechem's house and they left.

27Jacob's other sons also saw that the men of the city were dead. So they took everything that they wanted from the city. They did that because it was the place where Shechem had done a very bad thing against their sister.

28They took all the sheep, goats, cows and donkeys. They took everything that was in the city and in the fields near there.

29They carried away every valuable thing for themselves. They also took all the men's wives and their children. They took everything from the houses in the city.

30When they returned to Jacob, he said to Simeon and Levi, ‘You have brought bad trouble to me! The people who live in this land, the Canaanites and the Perizzites, will hate me. I will be like a bad smell to them. We do not have many men to fight for us. If the Perizzites and Canaanites join together and they attack us, they will destroy our whole family!’

31But Simeon and Levi replied, ‘Shechem should not have had sex with our sister as if she were a prostitute.’
