23 Leurs troupeaux, leurs biens et tout leur bétail, ne seront-ils pas à nous? Acceptons seulement leur condition, pour qu’ils restent avec nous.

24 Tous ceux qui étaient venus à la porte de la ville écoutèrent Hamor et Sichem, son fils; et tous les mâles se firent circoncire, tous ceux qui étaient venus à la porte de la ville.

25 Le troisième jour, pendant qu’ils étaient souffrants, les deux fils de Jacob, Siméon et Lévi, frères de Dina, prirent chacun leur épée, tombèrent sur la ville qui se croyait en sécurité, et tuèrent tous les mâles.

26 Ils passèrent aussi au fil de l’épée Hamor et Sichem, son fils; ils enlevèrent Dina de la maison de Sichem, et sortirent.

27 Les fils de Jacob se jetèrent sur les morts, et pillèrent la ville, parce qu’on avait déshonoré leur sœur.
