Genesis 34:1-6 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
1
One day Dinah, Leah's daughter, went to visit some of the young women who lived in the area.
2
But when the local prince, Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, saw her, he took her and raped her.
3
But Shechem's love for Dinah was strong, and he tried to win her affection.
4
He even spoke to his father about it. "Get this girl for me," he demanded. "I want to marry her."
5
Word soon reached Jacob that his daughter had been defiled, but his sons were out in the fields herding cattle so he did nothing until they returned.
6
Meanwhile, Hamor, Shechem's father, came out to discuss the matter with Jacob.
