And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.

And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her, he took her and lay with her and humbled her.

And his soul clung to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the girl and spoke  ¹affectionately to the girl.

And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Get me this young girl as a wife.

Now when Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter, his sons were with his livestock in the field; so Jacob kept silent until they came in.

And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.

And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard of it. And the men were grieved and became very angry, because he had committed folly in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, for such a thing ought not to be done.

And Hamor spoke with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter; please give her to him as a wife.

And make marriages with us: Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.

And you shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you; dwell and  ¹trade in it, and acquire holdings in it.

And Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, Let me find favor in your sight, and whatever you say to me I will give.

Impose upon me a very large bridal price and gift, and I will give whatever you say to me; but give me the girl as a wife.

Then the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully; and because he had defiled Dinah their sister, they spoke

And said to them, We are not able to do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a reproach to us.

Only on this condition will we consent to you: If you become like us, and every male among you is circumcised,

Then we will give our daughters to you and will take your daughters for ourselves; and we will dwell with you and become one people.

But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go.

And their words seemed good to Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.

And the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he delighted in Jacob's daughter. Now he was honored above all the house of his father.

And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city and spoke with the men of their city, saying,

These men are with us peacefully; therefore let them dwell in the land and trade in it, for here the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters for ourselves as wives, and let us give them our daughters.

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

Will not their livestock and their property and all their animals be ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell with us.

And all who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.

Then on the third day, when they were still in pain, two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword and came upon the city  ¹unawares, and slew every male.

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

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

They took their flocks and their herds and their donkeys and whatever was in the city and whatever was in the field;

And they took captive and plundered all their wealth and all their little ones and their wives, and even all that was in the houses.

And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, You have  ¹brought trouble upon me by making me odious among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and I am few in number, and they will gather themselves together against me and strike me; and I will be destroyed, I and my house.

And they said, Should he treat our sister like a harlot?

And God said to Jacob, Rise up, go up to  ¹Bethel, and dwell there; and make an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.

Then Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him,  ¹Put away the foreign gods that are among you, and purify yourselves, and  ¹change your garments.

And let us rise up and go up to Bethel, that I may make an altar there to the God who answered me in the day of my distress and has been with me wherever I have gone.

So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hand and the  ¹rings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the oak that was near Shechem.

And as they journeyed, the terror of God was upon the cities that were around them, so they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.

And Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

And he built an  ¹altar there and called the place  ²El-bethel, because there God had revealed Himself to him when he fled from his brother.

And Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; so its name was called  ¹Allon-bacuth.

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

And God said to him:
Your name is Jacob;
Your name shall no longer be called Jacob,
But  ¹Israel shall be your name.
Thus He called his name Israel.

And God said to him,
I am the  ¹All-sufficient God:
Be fruitful and multiply;
A  ²nation and a company of nations shall come from you,
And kings shall come forth from your loins.

And the land which I gave to Abraham and to Isaac,
I will give to you;
And I will give the land to your seed after you.

Then God went up from him in the place where He had spoken with him.

And Jacob set up a  ¹pillar in the place where He had spoken with him, a pillar of stone; and he poured out a  ²drink offering on it and poured oil on it.

And Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.

And they journeyed from Bethel. And while there was still some distance to come to Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth; and she had hard labor.

And while she was in hardest labor, the midwife said to her, Do not be afraid, for now you have another son.

And as her soul was departing (for she  ¹died), she called his name  ²Ben-oni; but his father called him  ³Benjamin.

So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).

And Jacob set up a  ¹pillar on her grave; that is the pillar of Rachel's grave, which is there to this day.

And  ¹Israel journeyed and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

And while Israel dwelt in that land, Reuben went and  ¹lay with Bilhah his father's concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:

The sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Zebulun.

The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's female servant: Dan and Naphtali.

And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's female servant: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan-aram.

And Jacob came to Isaac his father at Mamre, at Kiriath-arba (that is,  ¹Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.

And the days of Isaac were a hundred and eighty years.

And Isaac expired and died and was gathered to his people, an old man and full of days; and Esau and Jacob his sons  ¹buried him.

Now these are the generations of Esau (that is, Edom).

Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite; and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite;

And Basemath Ishmael's daughter, the sister of Nebaioth.

And Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, and Basemath bore Reuel,

And Oholibamah bore Jeush and Jalam and Korah. These are the sons of Esau, who were born to him in the land of Canaan.

And Esau took his wives and his sons and his daughters and all his household and his livestock and all his cattle and all his possessions which he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and he went into a land away from his brother Jacob.

For their property was too great for them to dwell together, and the land where they sojourned could not sustain them because of their livestock.

And Esau dwelt in Mount Seir; Esau is Edom.

And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in Mount Seir:

These are the names of Esau's sons: Eliphaz the son of Esau's wife Adah, Reuel the son of Esau's wife Basemath.

And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam and Kenaz.

And Timna was a concubine to Eliphaz, Esau's son, and she bore Amalek to Eliphaz. These are the sons of Esau's wife Adah.

And these are the sons of Reuel: Nahath and Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. These were the sons of Esau's wife Basemath.

And these were the sons of Oholibamah the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife: And she bore to Esau Jeush and Jalam and Korah.

These are the  ¹clans of the sons of Esau. The sons of Eliphaz the firstborn of Esau: Clan Teman, Clan Omar, Clan Zepho, Clan Kenaz,

Clan Korah, Clan Gatam, Clan Amalek; these are the clans of Eliphaz in the land of Edom. These are the sons of Adah.

And these are the sons of Reuel, Esau's son: Clan Nahath, Clan Zerah, Clan Shammah, Clan Mizzah; these are the clans of Reuel in the land of Edom. These are the sons of Basemath, Esau's wife.

And these are the sons of Oholibamah, Esau's wife: Clan Jeush, Clan Jalam, Clan Korah. These are the clans of Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau's wife.

These are the sons of Esau (that is, Edom), and these are their clans.

These are the sons of Seir the Horite, the inhabitants of the land: Lotan and Shobal and Zibeon and Anah

And Dishon and Ezer and Dishan; these are the clans of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom.

And the sons of Lotan were Hori and Heman; and Lotan's sister was Timna.

And these are the sons of Shobal: Alvan and Manahath and Ebal, Shepho and Onam.

And these are the sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah. This is the Anah who found the  ¹hot springs in the wilderness as he fed the donkeys of Zibeon his father.

And these are the children of Anah: Dishon and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah.

And these are the sons of Dishon: Hemdan and Eshban and Ithran and Cheran.

These are the sons of Ezer: Bilhan and Zaavan and Akan.

These are the sons of Dishan: Uz and Aran.

These are the clans of the Horites: Clan Lotan, Clan Shobal, Clan Zibeon, Clan Anah,

Clan Dishon, Clan Ezer, Clan Dishan. These are the clans of the Horites, according to their clans in the land of Seir.

And these are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before a king of the children of Israel reigned:

Now Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom, and the name of his city was Dinhabah.

And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his place.

And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his place.

And Husham died; and Hadad the son of Bedad, who struck Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his place; and the name of his city was Avith.

And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place.

And Samlah died, and Shaul of Rehoboth by the  ¹River reigned in his place.

And Shaul died, and Baal-hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his place.

And Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his place. And the name of his city was Pau; and his wife's name was Mehetabel the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.

And these are the names of the clans of Esau, according to their families, according to their places, by their names: Clan Timna, Clan Alvah, Clan Jetheth,

Clan Oholibamah, Clan Elah, Clan Pinon,

Clan Kenaz, Clan Teman, Clan Mibzar,

Clan Magdiel, Clan Iram. These are the clans of Edom according to their habitations in the land of their possession. This is Esau the father of the Edomites.
