The Dinah Incident
34 Now (A)Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. 2 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he (B)took her and lay with her, and violated her. 3 His soul [a]was strongly attracted to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young woman and spoke [b]kindly to the young woman. 4 So Shechem (C)spoke to his father Hamor, saying, “Get me this young woman as a wife.”
5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter. Now his sons were with his livestock in the field; so Jacob (D)held[c] his peace until they came. 6 Then Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him. 7 And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved and very angry, because he (E)had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob’s daughter, (F)a thing which ought not to be done. 8 But Hamor spoke with them, saying, “The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife. 9 And make marriages with us; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to yourselves. 10 So you shall dwell with us, and the land shall be before you. Dwell and trade in it, and acquire possessions for yourselves in it.”
11 Then Shechem said to her father and her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I will give. 12 Ask me ever so much (G)dowry[d] and gift, and I will give according to what you say to me; but give me the young woman as a wife.”
13 But the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father, and spoke (H)deceitfully, because he had defiled Dinah their sister. 14 And they said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is (I)uncircumcised, for (J)that would be a reproach to us. 15 But on this condition we will consent to you: If you will become as we are, if every male of you is circumcised, 16 then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us; and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people. 17 But if you will not heed us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and be gone.”
18 And their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son. 19 So the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he delighted in Jacob’s daughter. He was (K)more honorable than all the household of his father.
20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the (L)gate of their city, and spoke with the men of their city, saying: 21 “These men are at peace with us. Therefore let them dwell in the land and trade in it. For indeed the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us as wives, and let us give them our daughters. 22 Only on this condition will the men consent to dwell with us, to be one people: if every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised. 23 Will not their livestock, their property, and every animal of theirs be ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell with us.” 24 And all who went out of the gate of his city heeded Hamor and Shechem his son; every male was circumcised, all who (M)went out of the gate of his city.
25 Now it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Jacob, (N)Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword and came boldly upon the city and killed all the males. 26 And they (O)killed Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah from Shechem’s house, and went out. 27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because their sister had been defiled. 28 They took their sheep, their oxen, and their donkeys, what was in the city and what was in the field, 29 and all their wealth. All their little ones and their wives they took captive; and they plundered even all that was in the houses.
30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, (P)“You have (Q)troubled me (R)by making me obnoxious among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; (S)and since I am few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and kill me. I shall be destroyed, my household and I.”
31 But they said, “Should he treat our sister like a harlot?”
Jacob’s Return to Bethel
35 Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to (T)Bethel and dwell there; and make an altar there to God, (U)who appeared to you (V)when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”
2 And Jacob said to his (W)household and to all who were with him, “Put away (X)the foreign gods that are among you, (Y)purify yourselves, and change your garments. 3 Then let us arise and go up to Bethel; and I will make an altar there to God, (Z)who answered me in the day of my distress (AA)and has been with me in the way which I have gone.” 4 So they gave Jacob all the foreign [e]gods which were in their hands, and the (AB)earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under (AC)the terebinth tree which was by Shechem.
5 And they journeyed, and (AD)the terror of God was upon the cities that were all around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob. 6 So Jacob came to (AE)Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him. 7 And he (AF)built an altar there and called the place [f]El Bethel, because (AG)there God appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother.
8 Now (AH)Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the terebinth tree. So the name of it was called [g]Allon Bachuth.
9 Then (AI)God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Padan Aram, and (AJ)blessed him. 10 And God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; (AK)your name shall not be called Jacob anymore, (AL)but Israel shall be your name.” So He called his name Israel. 11 Also God said to him: (AM)“I am God Almighty. (AN)Be fruitful and multiply; (AO)a nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body. 12 The (AP)land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I give to you; and to your descendants after you I give this land.” 13 Then God (AQ)went[h] up from him in the place where He talked with him. 14 So Jacob (AR)set up a pillar in the place where He talked with him, a pillar of stone; and he poured a drink offering on it, and he poured oil on it. 15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, (AS)Bethel.
Death of Rachel
16 Then they journeyed from Bethel. And when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel labored in childbirth, and she had hard labor. 17 Now it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, “Do not fear; (AT)you will have this son also.” 18 And so it was, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name [i]Ben-Oni; but his father called him [j]Benjamin. 19 So (AU)Rachel died and was buried on the way to (AV)Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem). 20 And Jacob set a pillar on her grave, which is the pillar of Rachel’s grave (AW)to this day.
21 Then Israel journeyed and pitched his tent beyond (AX)the tower of Eder. 22 And it happened, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and (AY)lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine; and Israel heard about it.
Jacob’s Twelve Sons
Now the sons of Jacob were twelve: 23 the sons of Leah were (AZ)Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun; 24 the sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin; 25 the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s maidservant, were Dan and Naphtali; 26 and the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s maidservant, were Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Padan Aram.
Death of Isaac
27 Then Jacob came to his father Isaac at (BA)Mamre, or (BB)Kirjath Arba[k] (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had dwelt. 28 Now the days of Isaac were one hundred and eighty years. 29 So Isaac breathed his last and died, and (BC)was [l]gathered to his people, being old and full of days. And (BD)his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
The Family of Esau(BE)
36 Now this is the genealogy of Esau, (BF)who is Edom. 2 (BG)Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the (BH)Hittite; (BI)Aholibamah[m] the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite; 3 and (BJ)Basemath, Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebajoth. 4 Now (BK)Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, and Basemath bore Reuel. 5 And [n]Aholibamah bore Jeush, Jaalam, and Korah. These were the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan.
6 Then Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the persons of his household, his cattle and all his animals, and all his goods which he had gained in the land of Canaan, and went to a country away from the presence of his brother Jacob. 7 (BL)For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together, and (BM)the land where they were strangers could not support them because of their livestock. 8 So Esau dwelt in (BN)Mount Seir. (BO)Esau is Edom.
9 And this is the genealogy of Esau the father of the Edomites in Mount Seir. 10 These were the names of Esau’s sons: (BP)Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, and Reuel the son of Basemath the wife of Esau. 11 And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, [o]Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz.
12 Now Timna was the concubine of Eliphaz, Esau’s son, and she bore (BQ)Amalek to Eliphaz. These were the sons of Adah, Esau’s wife.
13 These were the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the sons of Basemath, Esau’s wife.
14 These were the sons of [p]Aholibamah, Esau’s wife, the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon. And she bore to Esau: Jeush, Jaalam, and Korah.
The Chiefs of Edom
15 These were the chiefs of the sons of Esau. The sons of Eliphaz, the firstborn son of Esau, were Chief Teman, Chief Omar, Chief Zepho, Chief Kenaz, 16 [q]Chief Korah, Chief Gatam, and Chief Amalek. These were the chiefs of Eliphaz in the land of Edom. They were the sons of Adah.
17 These were the sons of Reuel, Esau’s son: Chief Nahath, Chief Zerah, Chief Shammah, and Chief Mizzah. These were the chiefs of Reuel in the land of Edom. These were the sons of Basemath, Esau’s wife.
18 And these were the sons of [r]Aholibamah, Esau’s wife: Chief Jeush, Chief Jaalam, and Chief Korah. These were the chiefs who descended from Aholibamah, Esau’s wife, the daughter of Anah. 19 These were the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these were their chiefs.
The Sons of Seir
20 (BR)These were the sons of Seir (BS)the Horite who inhabited the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, 21 Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. These were the chiefs of the Horites, the sons of Seir, in the land of Edom.
22 And the sons of Lotan were Hori and [s]Hemam. Lotan’s sister was Timna.
23 These were the sons of Shobal: [t]Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, [u]Shepho, and Onam.
24 These were the sons of Zibeon: both Ajah and Anah. This was the Anah who found the [v]water in the wilderness as he pastured (BT)the donkeys of his father Zibeon. 25 These were the children of Anah: Dishon and [w]Aholibamah the daughter of Anah.
26 These were the sons of [x]Dishon: [y]Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran. 27 These were the sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan, and [z]Akan. 28 These were the sons of Dishan: (BU)Uz and Aran.
29 These were the chiefs of the Horites: Chief Lotan, Chief Shobal, Chief Zibeon, Chief Anah, 30 Chief Dishon, Chief Ezer, and Chief Dishan. These were the chiefs of the Horites, according to their chiefs in the land of Seir.
The Kings of Edom
31 (BV)Now these were the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the children of Israel: 32 Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom, and the name of his city was Dinhabah. 33 And when Bela died, Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his place. 34 When Jobab died, Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his place. 35 And when Husham died, Hadad the son of Bedad, who attacked Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his place. And the name of his city was Avith. 36 When Hadad died, Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place. 37 And when Samlah died, Saul of (BW)Rehoboth-by-the-River reigned in his place. 38 When Saul died, Baal-Hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his place. 39 And when Baal-Hanan the son of Achbor died, [aa]Hadar reigned in his place; and the name of his city was [ab]Pau. His wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.
The Chiefs of Esau
40 And these were the names of the chiefs of Esau, according to their families and their places, by their names: Chief Timnah, Chief [ac]Alvah, Chief Jetheth, 41 Chief [ad]Aholibamah, Chief Elah, Chief Pinon, 42 Chief Kenaz, Chief Teman, Chief Mibzar, 43 Chief Magdiel, and Chief Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom, according to their dwelling places in the land of their possession. Esau was the father of [ae]the Edomites.

Dinah and the Shechemites
34 Now Dinah,(A) the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the land. 2 When Shechem(B) son of Hamor(C) the Hivite,(D) the ruler of that area, saw her, he took her and raped her.(E) 3 His heart was drawn to Dinah(F) daughter of Jacob;(G) he loved(H) the young woman and spoke tenderly(I) to her. 4 And Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Get me this girl as my wife.”(J)
5 When Jacob heard that his daughter Dinah had been defiled,(K) his sons were in the fields with his livestock; so he did nothing about it until they came home.
6 Then Shechem’s father Hamor went out to talk with Jacob.(L) 7 Meanwhile, Jacob’s sons had come in from the fields as soon as they heard what had happened. They were shocked(M) and furious,(N) because Shechem had done an outrageous thing in[a] Israel(O) by sleeping with Jacob’s daughter—a thing that should not be done.(P)
8 But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem has his heart set on your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.(Q) 9 Intermarry with us; give us your daughters and take our daughters for yourselves.(R) 10 You can settle among us;(S) the land is open to you.(T) Live in it, trade[b] in it,(U) and acquire property in it.(V)”
11 Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes,(W) and I will give you whatever you ask. 12 Make the price for the bride(X) and the gift I am to bring as great as you like, and I’ll pay whatever you ask me. Only give me the young woman as my wife.”
13 Because their sister Dinah had been defiled,(Y) Jacob’s sons replied deceitfully(Z) as they spoke to Shechem and his father Hamor. 14 They said to them, “We can’t do such a thing; we can’t give our sister to a man who is not circumcised.(AA) That would be a disgrace to us. 15 We will enter into an agreement with you on one condition(AB) only: that you become like us by circumcising all your males.(AC) 16 Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves.(AD) We’ll settle among you and become one people with you.(AE) 17 But if you will not agree to be circumcised, we’ll take our sister and go.”
18 Their proposal seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem. 19 The young man, who was the most honored(AF) of all his father’s family, lost no time in doing what they said, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter.(AG) 20 So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city(AH) to speak to the men of their city. 21 “These men are friendly toward us,” they said. “Let them live in our land and trade in it;(AI) the land has plenty of room for them. We can marry their daughters and they can marry ours.(AJ) 22 But the men will agree to live with us as one people only on the condition that our males be circumcised,(AK) as they themselves are. 23 Won’t their livestock, their property and all their other animals become ours?(AL) So let us agree to their terms, and they will settle among us.(AM)”
24 All the men who went out of the city gate(AN) agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male in the city was circumcised.
25 Three days later, while all of them were still in pain,(AO) two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon(AP) and Levi,(AQ) Dinah’s brothers, took their swords(AR) and attacked the unsuspecting city,(AS) killing every male.(AT) 26 They put Hamor and his son Shechem to the sword(AU) and took Dinah(AV) from Shechem’s house and left. 27 The sons of Jacob came upon the dead bodies and looted the city(AW) where[c] their sister had been defiled.(AX) 28 They seized their flocks and herds and donkeys(AY) and everything else of theirs in the city and out in the fields.(AZ) 29 They carried off all their wealth and all their women and children,(BA) taking as plunder(BB) everything in the houses.(BC)
30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble(BD) on me by making me obnoxious(BE) to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people living in this land.(BF) We are few in number,(BG) and if they join forces against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.”
31 But they replied, “Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?(BH)”
Jacob Returns to Bethel
35 Then God said to Jacob, “Go up to Bethel(BI) and settle there, and build an altar(BJ) there to God,(BK) who appeared to you(BL) when you were fleeing from your brother Esau.”(BM)
2 So Jacob said to his household(BN) and to all who were with him, “Get rid of the foreign gods(BO) you have with you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.(BP) 3 Then come, let us go up to Bethel, where I will build an altar to God,(BQ) who answered me in the day of my distress(BR) and who has been with me wherever I have gone.(BS)” 4 So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods they had and the rings in their ears,(BT) and Jacob buried them under the oak(BU) at Shechem.(BV) 5 Then they set out, and the terror of God(BW) fell on the towns all around them so that no one pursued them.(BX)
6 Jacob and all the people with him came to Luz(BY) (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan.(BZ) 7 There he built an altar,(CA) and he called the place El Bethel,[d](CB) because it was there that God revealed himself to him(CC) when he was fleeing from his brother.(CD)
8 Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse,(CE) died and was buried under the oak(CF) outside Bethel.(CG) So it was named Allon Bakuth.[e]
9 After Jacob returned from Paddan Aram,[f](CH) God appeared to him again and blessed him.(CI) 10 God said to him, “Your name is Jacob,[g] but you will no longer be called Jacob; your name will be Israel.[h]”(CJ) So he named him Israel.
11 And God said to him, “I am God Almighty[i];(CK) be fruitful and increase in number.(CL) A nation(CM) and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will be among your descendants.(CN) 12 The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you.(CO)”(CP) 13 Then God went up from him(CQ) at the place where he had talked with him.
14 Jacob set up a stone pillar(CR) at the place where God had talked with him, and he poured out a drink offering(CS) on it; he also poured oil on it.(CT) 15 Jacob called the place where God had talked with him Bethel.[j](CU)
The Deaths of Rachel and Isaac(CV)
16 Then they moved on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath,(CW) Rachel(CX) began to give birth and had great difficulty. 17 And as she was having great difficulty in childbirth, the midwife(CY) said to her, “Don’t despair, for you have another son.”(CZ) 18 As she breathed her last—for she was dying—she named her son Ben-Oni.[k](DA) But his father named him Benjamin.[l](DB)
19 So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath(DC) (that is, Bethlehem(DD)). 20 Over her tomb Jacob set up a pillar, and to this day(DE) that pillar marks Rachel’s tomb.(DF)
21 Israel moved on again and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.(DG) 22 While Israel was living in that region, Reuben went in and slept with his father’s concubine(DH) Bilhah,(DI) and Israel heard of it.
Jacob had twelve sons:
23 The sons of Leah:(DJ)
Reuben the firstborn(DK) of Jacob,
Simeon, Levi, Judah,(DL) Issachar and Zebulun.(DM)
24 The sons of Rachel:
25 The sons of Rachel’s servant Bilhah:(DP)
Dan and Naphtali.(DQ)
26 The sons of Leah’s servant Zilpah:(DR)
These were the sons of Jacob,(DU) who were born to him in Paddan Aram.(DV)
27 Jacob came home to his father Isaac(DW) in Mamre,(DX) near Kiriath Arba(DY) (that is, Hebron),(DZ) where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.(EA) 28 Isaac lived a hundred and eighty years.(EB) 29 Then he breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people,(EC) old and full of years.(ED) And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.(EE)
Esau’s Descendants(EF)(EG)
36 This is the account(EH) of the family line of Esau (that is, Edom).(EI)
2 Esau took his wives from the women of Canaan:(EJ) Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite,(EK) and Oholibamah(EL) daughter of Anah(EM) and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite(EN)— 3 also Basemath(EO) daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.(EP)
4 Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, Basemath bore Reuel,(EQ) 5 and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam and Korah.(ER) These were the sons of Esau, who were born to him in Canaan.
6 Esau took his wives and sons and daughters and all the members of his household, as well as his livestock and all his other animals and all the goods he had acquired in Canaan,(ES) and moved to a land some distance from his brother Jacob.(ET) 7 Their possessions were too great for them to remain together; the land where they were staying could not support them both because of their livestock.(EU) 8 So Esau(EV) (that is, Edom)(EW) settled in the hill country of Seir.(EX)
9 This is the account(EY) of the family line of Esau the father of the Edomites(EZ) in the hill country of Seir.
10 These are the names of Esau’s sons:
Eliphaz, the son of Esau’s wife Adah, and Reuel, the son of Esau’s wife Basemath.(FA)
11 The sons of Eliphaz:(FB)
Teman,(FC) Omar, Zepho, Gatam and Kenaz.(FD)
12 Esau’s son Eliphaz also had a concubine(FE) named Timna, who bore him Amalek.(FF) These were grandsons of Esau’s wife Adah.(FG)
13 The sons of Reuel:
Nahath, Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. These were grandsons of Esau’s wife Basemath.(FH)
14 The sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah(FI) daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon, whom she bore to Esau:

15 These were the chiefs(FK) among Esau’s descendants:
The sons of Eliphaz the firstborn of Esau:

19 These were the sons of Esau(FU) (that is, Edom),(FV) and these were their chiefs.(FW)
20 These were the sons of Seir the Horite,(FX) who were living in the region:
Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,(FY) 21 Dishon, Ezer and Dishan. These sons of Seir in Edom were Horite chiefs.(FZ)
22 The sons of Lotan:

23 The sons of Shobal:
Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho and Onam.

29 These were the Horite chiefs:

The Rulers of Edom(GH)
31 These were the kings who reigned in Edom before any Israelite king(GI) reigned:
32 Bela son of Beor became king of Edom. His city was named Dinhabah.
33 When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah(GJ) succeeded him as king.
34 When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites(GK) succeeded him as king.
35 When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad, who defeated Midian(GL) in the country of Moab,(GM) succeeded him as king. His city was named Avith.
36 When Hadad died, Samlah from Masrekah succeeded him as king.
37 When Samlah died, Shaul from Rehoboth(GN) on the river succeeded him as king.
38 When Shaul died, Baal-Hanan son of Akbor succeeded him as king.
39 When Baal-Hanan son of Akbor died, Hadad[q] succeeded him as king. His city was named Pau, and his wife’s name was Mehetabel daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-Zahab.
40 These were the chiefs(GO) descended from Esau, by name, according to their clans and regions:
Timna, Alvah, Jetheth, 41 Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon, 42 Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar, 43 Magdiel and Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom, according to their settlements in the land they occupied.
This is the family line of Esau, the father of the Edomites.(GP)
