Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Genesis 33
¹⁷ Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built for himself a house and made booths for his livestock; therefore the place is named Succoth.
¹⁸ Now Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram, and camped before the city.
¹⁹ He bought the piece of land where he had pitched his tent from the hand of the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces of money.
²⁰ Then he erected there an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel.
Genesis 34
¹ Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the daughters of the land.
² When Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her, he took her and lay with her by force.
³ He was deeply attracted to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the girl and spoke tenderly to her.
⁴ So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, "Get me this young girl for a wife."
⁵ Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; but his sons were with his livestock in the field, so Jacob kept silent until they came in.
⁶ Then Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.
⁷ Now the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved, and they were very angry because he had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob’s daughter, for such a thing ought not to be done.
