底娜受辱
1一天，利亚给雅各所生的女儿底娜到外面去见当地的女子。 2当地首领希未人哈抹的儿子示剑看到她，就抓住她，强行玷污了她。 3他恋慕雅各的女儿底娜，就用甜言蜜语讨她欢心。 4他求父亲哈抹为他说亲，把底娜娶过来。 5消息传到雅各耳中时，他的儿子们正在田野放牧。他只好忍气吞声，等儿子们回来再作打算。 6示剑的父亲哈抹来和雅各商议。 7雅各的儿子们一听说这事，就从田野赶回来。大家都非常愤怒，因为示剑不该对以色列家做这丑事——玷污雅各的女儿。
8哈抹跟他们商议说：“我儿子示剑爱慕你们家的女儿，请你们把女儿嫁给他吧！ 9我们可以互相通婚，你们可以把女儿嫁给我们的儿子，也可以娶我们的女儿为妻。 10你们可以在我们这里安顿下来，这片土地就在你们面前，住在这里做买卖、置产业吧。” 11示剑对底娜的父亲和她的弟兄们说：“请你们恩待我，你们要什么，我都给你们。 12只要你们答应把女儿嫁给我，无论你们要多少聘金和礼物，我必如数奉上。”
雅各之子计杀示剑人
13雅各的儿子们因为示剑玷污了他们的妹妹底娜，就假意对示剑和他的父亲哈抹说： 14“我们不能把妹妹嫁给没有受过割礼的人，这对我们是一种羞辱。 15除非你们所有的男子都跟我们一样受割礼， 16我们才能答应和你们通婚，共同生活，结成一个民族。 17如果你们不肯这样做，我们就把妹妹带走。”
18哈抹父子欣然答应。 19示剑毫不迟延地照办，因为他热恋底娜。在哈抹家族中，他最受人尊重。 20哈抹父子来到城门口，对那城的居民说： 21“这些人跟我们相处和睦，就让他们在这里定居、做买卖吧。我们这里有足够的地方可以容纳他们，我们可以和他们通婚。 22可是，他们有一个条件，就是要我们所有的男子和他们一样接受割礼，他们才答应和我们一起生活，结成一个民族。 23到时候，他们的财产和牛羊等所有牲畜不全归我们了吗？我们同意他们吧，这样他们就会在我们这里定居。” 24在城门进出的人听了哈抹父子的话，都表示赞同。于是，城里的男子都接受了割礼。
25到了第三天，他们伤口正疼痛的时候，雅各的两个儿子——底娜的哥哥西缅和利未拿着利剑，乘众人没有防备，潜入城中，杀掉了所有的男子， 26包括哈抹和示剑，从示剑家里带走了底娜。 27雅各的儿子又到城里掳掠，因为他们的妹妹在那里被人玷污。 28他们抢走牛群、羊群、驴群和城里城外所有的东西， 29并带走所有财物、妇孺以及房屋里的一切。 30雅各责备西缅和利未说：“你们为什么要给我惹麻烦，使我在当地的迦南人和比利洗人中留下臭名呢？我们人数很少，要是他们联手来攻击我们，我们全家必遭灭门之祸。” 31他们说：“他怎么能把我们的妹妹当妓女对待？”
1And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. 2And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.34.2 defiled…: Heb. humbled her 3And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.34.3 kindly…: Heb. to the heart of the damsel 4And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife. 5And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come.
6¶ And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him. 7And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter; which thing ought not to be done. 8And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife. 9And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you. 10And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein. 11And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give. 12Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife. 13And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister: 14And 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: 15But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised; 16Then 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. 17But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
18And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor’s son. 19And 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.
20¶ And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying, 21These 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. 22Only 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. 23Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us. 24And 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.
25¶ 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. 26And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went out.34.26 edge: Heb. mouth 27The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister. 28They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field, 29And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house. 30And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house. 31And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
