⁵ Simeon and Levi are brothers; deceit and force are their secret designs.

²⁵ But on the third day after, before the wounds were well, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and came into the town by surprise and put all the males to death.

²⁶ And Hamor and his son they put to death with the sword, and they took Dinah from Shechem's house and went away.

²⁷ And the sons of Jacob came on them when they were wounded and made waste the town because of what had been done to their sister;

²⁸ They took their flocks and their herds and their asses and everything in their town and in their fields,

²⁹ And all their wealth and all their little ones and their wives; everything in their houses they took and made them waste.

³⁰ And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, You have made trouble for me and given me a bad name among the people of this country, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and because we are small in number they will come together against me and make war on me; and it will be the end of me and all my people.

³¹ But they said, Were we to let him make use of our sister as a loose woman?

³³ Then she became with child again, and gave birth to a son; and said, Because it has come to the Lord's ears that I am not loved, he has given me this son in addition: and she gave him the name Simeon.

³⁴ And she was with child again, and gave birth to a son; and said, Now at last my husband will be united to me, because I have given him three sons: so he was named Levi.

¹⁰ And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar and Shaul, the son of a woman of Canaan;

¹¹ And the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari;

⁹ He who does not give his mind to his work is brother to him who makes destruction.
