Genesis 34

1 NOW DINAH daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out [unattended] to see the girls of the place.2 And when Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he seized her, lay with her, and humbled, defiled, and disgraced her.3 But his soul longed for and clung to Dinah daughter of Jacob, and he loved the girl and spoke comfortingly to her young heart’s wishes.4 And Shechem said to his father Hamor, Get me this girl to be my wife.5 Jacob heard that [Shechem] had defiled Dinah his daughter. Now his sons were with his livestock in the field. So Jacob held his peace until they came.6 But Hamor father of Shechem went out to Jacob to have a talk with him.7 When Jacob’s sons heard it, they came from the field; and they were distressed and grieved and very angry, for [Shechem] had done a vile thing to Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter, which ought not to be done.8 And Hamor conferred with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem craves your daughter [and sister]. I beg of you give her to him to be his wife.9 And make marriages with us and give your daughters to us and take our daughters to you.10 You shall dwell with us; the country will be open to you; live and trade and get your possessions in it.11 And Shechem said to [Dinah’s] father and to her brothers, Let me find favor in your eyes, and I will give you whatever you ask of me.12 Ask me ever so much dowry and [marriage] gift, and I will give according to what you tell me; only give me the girl to be my wife.13 The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, [justifying their intended action by saying, in effect, we are going to do this] because Shechem had defiled and disgraced their sister Dinah.14 They said to them, We cannot do this thing and give our sister to one who is not circumcised, for that would be a reproach and disgrace to us.15 But we do consent to do this: if you will become as we are and every male among you be circumcised,16 Then we will give our daughters to you and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you and become one people.17 But if you will not listen to us and consent to be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go.18 Their words pleased Hamor and his son Shechem.19 And the young man did not delay to do the thing, for he delighted in Jacob’s daughter. He was honored above all his family [so, ranking first, he acted first].20 Then Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their [enclosed] town and discussed the matter with the citizens, saying,21 These men are peaceable with us; so let them dwell in the land and trade in it; for the land is large enough [for us and] for them; let us take their daughters for wives and let us give them our daughters.22 But the men will consent to our request that they live among us and be one people only on condition that every male among us be circumcised, as they are.23 Shall not their cattle and their possessions and all their beasts be ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell here with us.24 And all the people who went out of the town gate listened and heeded what Hamor and Shechem said; and every male was circumcised who was a resident of that town.25 But on the third day [after the circumcision] when [all the men] were sore, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s [full] brothers, took their swords, boldly entered the city [without danger], and slew all the males.26 And they killed Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house [where she had been all this time] and departed.27 [Then the rest of] Jacob’s [eleven] sons came upon the slain and plundered the town, because there their sister had been defiled and disgraced.28 They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, and whatever was in the town and in the field;29 All their wealth and all their little ones and their wives they took captive, making spoil even of all [they found] in the houses.30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, You have ruined me, making me infamous and embroiling me with the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the Perizzites! And we are few in number, and they will gather together against me and attack me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my household.31 And they said, Should he [be permitted to] deal with our sister as with a harlot?

Genesis 35

1 AND GOD said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there. And make there an altar to God Who appeared to you [in a distinct manifestation] when you fled from the presence of Esau your brother. 2 Then Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, Put away the [images of] strange gods that are among you, and purify yourselves and change [into fresh] garments;3 Then let us arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make there an altar to God Who answered me in the day of my distress and was with me wherever I went.4 So they [both young men and women] gave to Jacob all the strange gods they had and their earrings which were [worn as charms against evil] in their ears; and Jacob buried and hid them under the oak near Shechem.5 And they journeyed and a terror from God fell on the towns round about them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.6 So Jacob came to Luz, that is, Bethel, which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people with him.7 There he built an altar, and called the place El-bethel [God of Bethel], for there God revealed Himself to him when he fled from the presence of his brother.8 But Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died and was buried below Bethel under an oak; and the name of it was called Allon-bacuth [oak of weeping].9 And God [in a distinctly visible manifestation] appeared to Jacob again when he came out of Padan-aram, and declared a blessing on him. 10 Again God said to him, Your name is Jacob [supplanter]; you shall not be called Jacob any longer, but Israel shall be your name. So He called him Israel [contender with God].11 And God said to him, I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall come from you and kings shall be born of your stock;12 The land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and to your descendants after you I will give the land.13 Then God ascended from him in the place where He talked with him.14 And Jacob set up a pillar (monument) in the place where he talked with [God], a pillar of stone; and he poured a drink offering on it and he poured oil on it.15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God had talked with him Bethel [house of God].16 And they journeyed from Bethel and had but a little way to go to Ephrath [Bethlehem] when Rachel suffered the pangs of childbirth and had hard labor.17 When she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her, Do not be afraid; you shall have this son also.18 And as her soul was departing, for she died, she called his name Ben-oni [son of my sorrow]; but his father called him Benjamin [son of the right hand].19 So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath, that is, Bethlehem.20 And Jacob set a pillar (monument) on her grave; that is the pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.21 Then Israel journeyed on and spread his tent on the other side of the tower of Edar.22 When Israel dwelt there, Reuben [his eldest son] went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine; and Israel heard about it. Now Jacob’s sons were twelve.23 The sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.25 The sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s maid: Dan and Naphtali.26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s maid: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob born to him in Padan-aram.27 And Jacob came to Isaac his father at Mamre or Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.28 Now the days of Isaac were 180 years.29 And Isaac’s spirit departed; he died and was gathered to his people, being an old man, satisfied and satiated with days; his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

Genesis 36

1 NOW THIS is the history of the descendants of Esau, that is, Edom.2 Esau took his wives from the women of Canaan: Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah daughter of Anah, the son of Zibeon the Hivite,3 And Basemath, Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebaioth.4 Adah bore to Esau, Eliphaz; Basemath bore Reuel;5 And Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau born to him in Canaan.6 Now Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the members of his household, his cattle, all his beasts, and all his possessions which he had obtained in the land of Canaan, and he went into a land away from his brother Jacob.7 For their great flocks and herds and possessions [which they had collected] made it impossible for them to dwell together; the land in which they were strangers could not support them because of their livestock.8 So Esau dwelt in the hill country of Seir; Esau is Edom.9 And this is the history of the descendants of Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir.10 These are the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz, the son of Adah, Esau’s wife, and Reuel, the son of Basemath, Esau’s wife.11 And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz.12 And Timna was a concubine of Eliphaz, Esau’s son; and she bore Amalek to Eliphaz. These are the sons of Adah, Esau’s wife.13 These are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These are the sons of Basemath, Esau’s wife.14 And these are the sons of Oholibamah daughter of Anah, the son of Zibeon, Esau’s wife. She bore to Esau: Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.15 These are the chiefs of the sons of Esau: The sons of Eliphaz the firstborn of Esau: Chiefs Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz,16 Korah, Gatam, and Amalek. These are the chiefs of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; they are the sons of Adah.17 These are the sons of Reuel, Esau’s son: Chiefs Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, Mizzah. These are the chiefs of Reuel in the land of Edom; they are the sons of Basemath, Esau’s wife.18 These are the sons of Oholibamah, Esau’s wife: Chiefs Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the chiefs born of Oholibamah daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife.19 These are the sons of Esau, that is, Edom, and these are their chiefs.20 These are the sons of Seir the Horite, the inhabitants of the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,21 Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. These are the chiefs of the Horites, the sons of Seir in the land of Edom.22 The sons of Lotan are Hori and Hemam; and Lotan’s sister is Timna.23 The sons of Shobal are these: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.24 These are the sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah. This is the Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness as he pastured the donkeys of Zibeon his father.25 The children of Anah are these: Dishon and Oholibamah daughter of Anah [Esau’s wife].26 These are the sons of Dishon: Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran.27 Ezer’s sons are these: Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan.28 The sons of Dishan are these: Uz and Aran.29 The Horite chiefs are these: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,30 Dishon, Ezer, Dishan. These are the Horite chiefs, according to their clans, in the land of Seir.31 And these are the kings who reigned in Edom before any king reigned over the Israelites:32 Bela son of Beor reigned in Edom. And the name of his city was Dinhabah.33 Now Bela died, and Jobab son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead.34 Then Jobab died, and Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his stead.35 And Husham died, and Hadad son of Bedad, who defeated Midian in the country of Moab, reigned in his stead. The name of his [enclosed] city was Avith.36 Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah succeeded him.37 Then Samlah died, and Shaul of Rehoboth on the river [Euphrates] reigned in his stead.38 And Shaul died, and Baal-hanan son of Achbor reigned in his stead.39 Baal-hanan son of Achbor died, and then Hadar reigned. His [enclosed] city was Pau; his wife’s name was Mehetabel daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.40 And these are the names of the chiefs of Esau, according to their families and places of residence, by their names: Chiefs Timna, Alvah, Jetheth,41 Oholibamah, Elah, Pinon,42 Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar,43 Magdiel, and Iram. These are the chiefs of Edom [that is, of Esau the father of the Edomites], according to their dwelling places in their land.
