Genesis 34:2-12

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

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.

7 Jacob's sons came in from the open country as soon as they heard the news. The men felt outraged and very angry because Shechem had committed such a godless act against Israel's family by raping Jacob's daughter. This shouldn't have happened.

8 Hamor told them. "My son Shechem has his heart set on your daughter. Please let her marry him.

9 Intermarry with us; give your daughters to us, and take ours for yourselves.

10 You can live with us, and the land will be yours. Live here, move about freely in this area, and acquire property here."

11 Then Shechem said to Dinah's father and her brothers, "Do me this favor. I'll give you whatever you ask.

12 Set the price I must pay for the bride and the gift I must give her as high as you want. I'll pay exactly what you tell me. Give me the girl as my wife."

New International Version NIV

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.

8 But Hamor said to them, “My son Shechem has his heart set on your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.

9 Intermarry with us; give us your daughters and take our daughters for yourselves.

10 You can settle among us; the land is open to you. Live in it, trade in it, and acquire property in it.”

11 Then Shechem said to Dinah’s father and brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and I will give you whatever you ask.

12 Make the price for the bride and the gift I am to bring as great as you like, and I’ll pay whatever you ask me. Only give me the young woman as my wife.”
