24And unto HamorH2544 and unto ShechemH7927 his sonH1121 hearkened allH3605 that wentH3318 outH3318 of the gateH8179 of his cityH5892; and everyH3605 maleH2145 was circumcisedH4135, allH3605 that wentH3318 outH3318 of the gateH8179 of his cityH5892.

25And it cameH935 to passH935 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, when they were sore, that twoH8147 of the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290, SimeonH8095 and LeviH3878, Dinah’sH1783 brethrenH251, tookH3947 eachH376 manH376 his swordH2719, and cameH935 uponH5921 the cityH5892 unawaresH983, and slewH2026 allH3605 the malesH2145.

26And they slewH2026 HamorH2544 and ShechemH7927 his sonH1121 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and tookH3947 DinahH1783 outH3318 of Shechem’sH7927 houseH1004, and wentH3318 forthH3318.

27The sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 cameH935 uponH5921 the slainH2491, and spoiled the cityH5892, becauseH5921 they had defiledH2930 their sisterH269.

28They tookH3947 their flocksH6629 and their herdsH1241 and their asses, and that whichH834 was in the cityH5892, and that whichH834 was in the fieldH7704;

29and allH3605 their wealthH2428, and allH3605 their littleH2945 onesH2945 and their wivesH802, tookH7617 they captiveH7617 and spoiled, evenH853 allH3605 that was in the houseH1004.
