Genesis 34:1-6 (GOD'S WORD Translation)
View In My Bible
1
Dinah, daughter of Leah and Jacob, went out to visit some of the Canaanite women.
2
When Shechem, son of the local ruler Hamor the Hivite, saw her, he took her and raped her.
3
He became very fond of Jacob's daughter Dinah. He loved the girl and spoke tenderly to her.
4
So Shechem said to his father Hamor, "Get me this girl for my wife."
5
Jacob heard that Shechem had dishonored his daughter Dinah. His sons were with his livestock out in the open country, so Jacob kept quiet until they came home.
6
So Shechem's father Hamor came to Jacob to speak with him.
