Genesis 34:21-29

New International Version

²¹ “These men are friendly toward us,” they said. “Let them live in our land and trade in it;^(A) the land has plenty of room for them. We can marry their daughters and they can marry ours.^{(B) 22} But the men will agree to live with us as one people only on the condition that our males be circumcised,^(C) as they themselves are. ²³ Won’t their livestock, their property and all their other animals become ours?^(D) So let us agree to their terms, and they will settle among us.^(E)”

²⁴ All the men who went out of the city gate^(F) 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,^(G) two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon^(H) and Levi,^(I) Dinah’s brothers, took their swords^(J) and attacked the unsuspecting city,^(K) killing every male.^{(L) 26} They put Hamor and his son Shechem to the sword^(M) and took Dinah^(N) from Shechem’s house and left. ²⁷ The sons of Jacob came upon the dead bodies and looted the city^(O) where^[a] their sister had been defiled.^{(P) 28} They seized their flocks and herds and donkeys^(Q) and everything else of theirs in the city and out in the fields.^{(R) 29} They carried off all their wealth and all their women and children,^(S) taking as plunder^(T) everything in the houses.^(U)
