Genesis 34:25-30
25Now it came about on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of Jacob’s sons, 1Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword and came upon the city unawares, and killed every male.
26They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah from Shechem’s house, and went forth.
27Jacob’s sons came upon the slain and looted the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28They took their flocks and their herds and their donkeys, and that which was in the city and that which was in the field;
29and they captured and looted all their wealth and all their little ones and their wives, even all that was in the houses.
30Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have 2brought trouble on me by 3making me odious among the inhabitants of the land, among 4the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and 56my men being few in number, they will gather together against me and 7attack me and I will be destroyed, I and my household.”
