Now Dinah , the daughter Leah - had borne to Jacob , went out to visit the daughters of the land.
| LXX |
When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite , the prince of the region , saw her , he took her and lay with her by force.
| LXX |
And his soul was drawn to Dinah , the daughter of Jacob. He loved - the young girl and spoke to her tenderly ... ... ....
| LXX |
So Shechem ... told his father ... Hamor , “ Get - this girl as a wife. ”
| LXX |
Jacob heard that Shechem had defiled - his daughter Dinah , but since his sons were with his livestock in the field , he remained silent (about it) until they returned.
| LXX |
Meanwhile, Shechem’s ... father Hamor came to speak with Jacob.
| LXX |
When Jacob’s sons heard what had happened , they returned from the field. They were filled with grief ... and fury because Shechem had committed an outrage in Israel by lying with Jacob’s daughter — a thing that should not be done.
| LXX |
But Hamor said to them ... , “ My son Shechem longs for ... your daughter. Please give her as his wife.
| LXX |
Intermarry with us ; ... give - your daughters , and take our daughters
| LXX |
You may settle among us , and the land {will} be open to you. Live here , move about freely , and acquire your own property
| LXX |
Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father ... and brothers , “ Grant me this favor ... , ... and I will give you whatever you ask. ...
| LXX |
Demand a high ... dowry and (an expensive) gift , and I will give you whatever you ask. ... Only give - the girl as my wife ! ”
| LXX |
But because (Shechem) had defiled - their sister Dinah , Jacob’s - sons answered (him) - and his father Hamor deceitfully ....
| LXX |
“ We cannot ... do such a thing , ” they said -. “ To give - our sister ... - an uncircumcised man ... would be a disgrace ...
| LXX |
We will consent on one ... condition , that you become circumcised like us — every one of your males.
| LXX |
Then we will give - our daughters and take your daughters We will dwell among you and become one people.
| LXX |
But if you will not agree ... to be circumcised , then we will take - our sister and go. ”
| LXX |
Their offer ... seemed good to Hamor ... and his son Shechem.
| LXX |
The young man , who (was) the most respected of all his father’s household , did not hesitate to fulfill this request , because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter.
| LXX |
So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city and addressed ... the men of their city ... :
| LXX |
“ These men are at peace ... with us. Let them live and trade in our land ; - indeed , (it) is large ... enough for them. - Let us take their daughters in marriage - and give our daughters
| LXX |
But only on this condition {will} the men agree to dwell with us and be one people : if all men are circumcised as they are ....
| LXX |
Will not their livestock , their possessions , and all their animals (become ours) ? Only let us consent and they will dwell among us. ”
| LXX |
All the men who went out of the city gate listened to Hamor ... and his son Shechem , and every male ... vvv vvv of the city was circumcised.
| LXX |
Three days later , while they were still in pain , two of Jacob’s sons ( Dinah’s ... brothers Simeon and Levi ) took their swords , went into the unsuspecting city , and slaughtered every male.
| LXX |
- They killed ... Hamor - and his son Shechem with their swords , took - Dinah out of Shechem’s house , and went away.
| LXX |
Jacob’s other sons came upon the slaughter and looted the city , because their sister had been defiled.
| LXX |
- They took their flocks and herds and donkeys , - and everything else in the city - - or in the field.
| LXX |
- They carried off all their possessions and women and - children , and they plundered - everything - in (their) houses.
| LXX |
Then Jacob said to Simeon ... and Levi , “ You have brought trouble upon me by making me a stench to the Canaanites and Perizzites , the people of this land. We are few in number ; if they unite against me and attack me , I and my household will be destroyed. ”
| LXX |
But they replied , “ Should he have treated - our sister like a prostitute ? ”
