Abram passed through the land to the place at Shechem, to the oak* of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land.
Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, on his way from Paddan-aram; and he camped before the city.
And from the sons of Hamor, Shechems father, he bought for one hundred pieces of money* the plot of land on which he had pitched his tent.
When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the region, saw her, he seized her and lay with her by force.
So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Get me this girl to be my wife.
Now Jacob heard that Shechem* had defiled his daughter Dinah; but his sons were with his cattle in the field, so Jacob held his peace until they came.
And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him,
But Hamor spoke with them, saying, The heart of my son Shechem longs for your daughter; please give her to him in marriage.
Shechem also said to her father and to her brothers, Let me find favour with you, and whatever you say to me I will give.
The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father Hamor deceitfully, because he had defiled their sister Dinah.
Their words pleased Hamor and Hamors son Shechem.
So Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city and spoke to the men of their city, saying,
And all who went out of the city gate heeded Hamor and his son Shechem; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechems house, and went away.
So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods that they had, and the rings that were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak that was near Shechem.
Now his brothers went to pasture their fathers flock near Shechem.
And Israel said to Joseph, Are not your brothers pasturing the flock at Shechem? Come, I will send you to them. He answered, Here I am.
So he said to him, Go now, see if it is well with your brothers and with the flock; and bring word back to me. So he sent him from the valley of Hebron.
He came to Shechem,
I now give to you one portion* more than to your brothers, the portion* that I took from the hand of the Amorites with my sword and with my bow.
