01:034:014 And 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: 

01:034:015 But in this will we consent unto you:  If ye will be as we be,
           that every male of you be circumcised;

01:034:016 Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take
           your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will
           become one people.

01:034:017 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then
           will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.

01:034:018 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor’s son.

01:034:019 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had
           delight in Jacob’s daughter:  and he was more honourable than
           all the house of his father.

01:034:020 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their
           city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,

01:034:021 These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in
           the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large
           enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives,
           and let us give them our daughters.

01:034:022 Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us,
           to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as
           they are circumcised.

01:034:023 Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of
           their’s be our’s? only let us consent unto them, and they will
           dwell with us.

01:034:024 And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that
           went out of the gate of his city; and every male was
           circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.

01:034:025 And 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.

01:034:026 And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the
           sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went out.

01:034:027 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city,
           because they had defiled their sister.

01:034:028 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and
           that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,

01:034:029 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their
           wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the
           house.
