male of you be circumcised;

      16 then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.

      17 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.

      18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.

      19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was honored above all the house of his father.

      20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,

      21 These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for, behold, the land is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.

      22 Only on this condition will the men consent unto us to dwell with us, to become one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.

      23 Shall not their cattle and their substance and all their beasts be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us.

      24 And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.

      25 And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city unawares, and slew all the males.

      26 And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went forth.

      27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.

      28 They took their flocks and their herds and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field;

      29 and all their wealth, and all their little ones and their wives, took they captive and made a prey, even all that was in the house.

      30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and, I being few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and smite me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.

      31 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with a harlot?

      5 And they journeyed: and a terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.

      6 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan (the same is Beth-el), he and all the people that were with him.

      9 And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him.

      10 And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.

      11 And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;

      12 and the land which I gave unto Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.

      13 And God went up from him in the place where he spake with him.

      14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spake with him, a pillar of stone: and he poured out a drink-offering thereon, and poured oil thereon.

      15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Beth-el.

      16 And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was still some distance to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor.

      17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; for now thou shalt have another son.

      18 And it came to pass, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin.

      19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath (the same is Beth-lehem).

      20 And Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave: the same is the Pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.

      21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

      22 And it came to pass, while Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:

      23 The sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's first-born, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun;

      24 the sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin;

      25 and the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid: Dan and Naphtali;

      26 and the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, that were born to him in Paddan-aram.

      27 And Jacob came unto Isaac his father to Mamre, to Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.

      28 And the days of Isaac were a hundred and fourscore years.

      29 And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, old and full of days: and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
