¹² And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.

¹⁸ And Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram; and encamped before the 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 unawares, and slew all the males.

²⁶ And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went forth.

²⁷ The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.

²⁸ They took their flocks and their herds and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field;

²⁹ and all their wealth, and all their little ones and their wives, took they captive and made a prey, even all that was in the house.

³⁰ And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and, I being few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and smite me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.

³¹ And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with a harlot?

¹ And Jacob dwelt in the land of his father's sojournings, in the land of Canaan.
