Genesis 34:1-7

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 Dinah was the daughter Leah had by Jacob. Dinah went out to visit the women of the land.

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

3 Then his heart longed for Jacob's daughter Dinah. He fell in love with her and spoke tenderly to her.

4 Shechem said to his father Hamor, "Get me that woman. I want her to be my wife."

5 Jacob heard that his daughter Dinah had been made "unclean." His sons were in the fields with his livestock. So he kept quiet about it until they came home.

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

7 Jacob's sons had come in from the fields. They came as soon as they heard what had happened. They were filled with sadness and anger. Shechem had done a very terrible thing. He had forced Jacob's daughter to have sex with him. He had done something that should never be done in Israel.

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.
