1And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.

3And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.

וַתִּדְבַּק נַפְשֹׁו בְּדִינָה בַּת־יַעֲקֹב וַיֶּאֱהַב אֶת־הַנַּעֲרָ וַיְדַבֵּר עַל־לֵב הַנַּעֲרָ׃ (3032)

7And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter: which thing ought not to be done.

8And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife.

וַיְדַבֵּר חֲמֹור אִתָּם לֵאמֹר שְׁכֶם בְּנִי חָשְׁקָה נַפְשֹׁו בְּבִתְּכֶם תְּנוּ נָא אֹתָהּ לֹו לְאִשָּׁה׃ (4208)

14And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us:

וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֲלֵיהֶם לֹא נוּכַל לַעֲשֹׂות הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה לָתֵת אֶת־אֲחֹתֵנוּ לְאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר־לֹו עָרְלָה כִּי־חֶרְפָּה הִוא לָנוּ׃ (4820)

25And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.
