Genesis

And Deina, the daughter whom Leia bore to Iakob, went forth to observe the daughters of the native inhabitants.

And Sychem, the son of Emmor the Evaios, the ruler of the land, saw her. And taking her, he slept with her, and humbled her.

And he devoted himself to the soul of Deina, the daughter of Iakob. And he loved the virgin. And he spoke concerning the thought of her virgin [-ity].

Sychem spoke to his father Emmor, saying: "Take for me this maidservant into a wife."

And Iakob heard that the son of Emmor had defiled his daughter Deina, [while] his sons were with his cattle in the plain. And Iakob remained silent until they came.

And Emmor, the father of Sychem, came forth to Iakob, to speak to him.

And the sons of Iakob came from the plain. And as they heard, the men were pierced, and it was exceedingly distressing to them, for he did an indecent [act] in Israél, sleeping with the daughter of Iakob. And in this way, it must not be.

And Emmor spoke to them, saying: "My son Sychem prefers in his soul your daughter. Give her therefore to him [as] wife,

and intermarry with us. Give us your daughters, and take our daughters for your sons.

And dwell among us. And behold: the land is spacious before you. Dwell and [do] trade in it, and acquire possessions in it."

And Sychem said to her father and to her brothers: "I want to find favor before you, and we will give whatever you should say.

Multiply the dowry exceedingly, and I will give in so far as whatever you shall say to me. And you shall give me this child into a wife."

And the sons of Iakob responded to Sychem and his father Emmor with deceit, and they spoke to them, for they defiled their sister Deina.

And Symeon and Levi, the brothers of Deina, said to them: "We shall not be able to do this matter, to give our sister to a human who has a foreskin, for it is a reproach to us.

Only in this will we be like you, and dwell among you, if you should become as we are, in that every male of yours be circumcised.

And we will give our daughters to you, and we will take of your daughters for wives to ourselves. And we will dwell with you, and we will be one race.

But if you should not listen to us, of the being circumcised, [then] taking our daughter we shall go forth."

And the words were pleasing before Emmor and before Sychem, the son of Emmor.

And the young [man] did not pass time to do this word, for he clung to the daughter of Iakob. And he was the most honorable of all of the [ones] in the house of his father.

And Emmor and his son Sychem came to the gate of their city, and spoke to the men of their city, saying:

"These humans are peaceable. Let them dwell with us upon the land, and let them trade in it. And behold: the land is spacious before them. We will take to ourselves wives of their daughters, and we shall give our daughters to them.

In this only will the humans be like us, to dwell with us, so as to be one people, in every male of us being circumcised, as also they have been circumcised.

And will not their cattle be ours, and their four-footed [animals], and their possessions? Only in this let us be like them, and they will dwell with us."

And they listened to Emmor and his son Sychem, all the [ones] going forth at the gate of their city. And they were circumcised in the flesh of their foreskin, every male.

And it came to pass in the third day, when they were in anguish, [that] the two sons of Iakob, Symeon and Levi, brothers of Deina, taking each man his sword, entered into the city safely, and killed every male.

And they killed also Emmor and his son Sychem by [the] mouth of [the] sword. And they took Deina from the house of Sychem, and went forth.

But the sons of Iakob came upon the wounded, and plundered the city in which their sister Deina had been defiled.

And they took their sheep, and their oxen, and their donkeys, and as much as was in the city, and as much as was in the plain.

And they captured all the bodies, and all their belongings, and their wives. And they plundered as much as was in the city, and as much as was in the houses.

And Iakob said to Symeon and Levi: "You have made me detested, so as for me to be evil to all the [ones] dwelling the land, among both the Chananaion and among the Phereziaion. And I am very few in number. And gathering against me, they shall cut me down, and I shall be obliterated, I and my house."

And they said: "But they treated our sister as a harlot!"
