Genesis 34:1-7

Common English Bible CEB

1 Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to meet the women of that country.

2 When Shechem the son of the Hivite Hamor and the country's prince saw her, he took her, slept with her, and humiliated her.

3 He was drawn to Dinah, Jacob's daughter. He loved the young woman and tried to win her heart.

4 Shechem said to his father Hamor, "Get this girl for me as my wife."

5 Now Jacob heard that Shechem defiled his daughter Dinah; but his sons were with the animals in the countryside, so he decided to keep quiet until they got back.

6 Meanwhile, Hamor, Shechem's father, went out to Jacob to speak with him.

7 Just then, Jacob's sons got back from the countryside. When they heard what had happened, they were deeply offended and very angry, because Shechem had disgraced Israel by sleeping with Jacob's daughter. Such things are simply not done.

New International Version NIV

1 Now Dinah, the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the land.

2 When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, the ruler of that area, saw her, he took her and raped her.

3 His heart was drawn to Dinah daughter of Jacob; he loved the young woman and spoke tenderly to her.

4 And Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Get me this girl as my wife.”

5 When Jacob heard that his daughter Dinah had been defiled, his sons were in the fields with his livestock; so he did nothing about it until they came home.

6 Then Shechem’s father Hamor went out to talk with Jacob.

7 Meanwhile, Jacob’s sons had come in from the fields as soon as they heard what had happened. They were shocked and furious, because Shechem had done an outrageous thing in Israel by sleeping with Jacob’s daughter—a thing that should not be done.
