Gen 34:17 "But if you will not listen to us to be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go."
Gen 34:18 ¶ Now their words seemed reasonable to Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.
Gen 34:19 The young man did not delay to do the thing, because he was delighted with Jacob's daughter. Now he was more respected than all the household of his father.
Gen 34:20 So Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
Gen 34:21 "These men are friendly with us; therefore let them live in the land and trade in it, for behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters in marriage, and give our daughters to them.
Gen 34:22 "Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people: that every male among us be circumcised as they are circumcised.
Gen 34:23 "Will not their livestock and their property and all their animals be ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will live with us."
Gen 34:24 All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor and to his son Shechem, and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
Gen 34:25 ¶ Now it came about on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword and came upon the city unawares, and killed every male.
Gen 34:26 They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah from Shechem's house, and went forth.
Gen 34:27 Jacob's sons came upon the slain and looted the city, because they had defiled their sister.
Gen 34:28 They took their flocks and their herds and their donkeys, and that which was in the city and that which was in the field;
Gen 34:29 and they captured and looted all their wealth and all their little ones and their wives, even all that was in the houses.
Gen 34:30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have brought trouble on me by making me odious among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and my men being few in number, they will gather together against me and attack me and I will be destroyed, I and my household."
Gen 34:31 But they said, "Should he treat our sister as a harlot?"
Gen 35:1 Then God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel and live there, and make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau."
Gen 35:2 So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Put away the foreign gods which are among you, and purify yourselves and change your garments;
Gen 35:3 and let us arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and has been with me wherever I have gone."
Gen 35:4 So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which they had and the rings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the oak which was near Shechem.
Gen 35:5 ¶ As they journeyed, there was a great terror upon the cities which were around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.
