Compare all
23 Will not their livestock, their property, and every animal of theirs be ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell with us.”
24 And all who awent out of the gate of his city heeded Hamor and Shechem his son; every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.  
25 Now it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Jacob, aSimeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword and came boldly upon the city and killed all the males.  
26 And they akilled Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah from Shechem’s house, and went out.  
27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because their sister had been defiled.
28 They took their sheep, their oxen, and their donkeys, what was in the city and what was in the field,
29 and all their wealth. All their little ones and their wives they took captive; and they plundered even all that was in the houses.
30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, a“You have btroubled me cby making me obnoxious among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; dand since I am few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and kill me. I shall be destroyed, my household and I.”  
31 But they said, “Should he treat our sister like a harlot?”
