But and if ye will not
hearken unto us to be circumcised, than will we take our daughter
and go our ways. And their words pleased Hemor and Sichem his son.
And the young man deferred not for to do the thing, because he had
a lust to Iacob's daughter: he was also most set by of all that
were in his father's house. Then Hemor and Sichem went unto the
gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city
saying: These men are peaceable with us, and will dwell in the
land and do their occupation therein; And in the land is room
enough for them, let us take their daughters to wives and give
them ours: only herein will they consent unto us for to dwell with
us and to be one people: if all the men children that are among us
be circumcised as they are. Their goods and their substance and
all their cattle are ours, only let us consent unto them, that
they may dwell with us. And unto Hemor and Sichem his son
hearkened all that went out at the gate of his city. And all the
men children were circumcised whatsoever went out at the gates of
his city. And the third day when it was painful to them, two of
the sons of Iacob, Simeon and Levi Dina's brethren, took either of
them his sword and went into the city boldly, and slew all that
was male, and slew also Hemor and Sichem his son with the edge of
the sword, and took Dina their sister out of Sichem's house, and
went their way.
