Genesis 34:1-6 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

1. One day, Dinah, the daughter of Leah and Jacob, went out to see the women of that place.

2. She was seen by Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, who ruled that area. Shechem took Dinah and raped her.

3. But he was so attracted to her that he fell in love and began expressing his feelings to her.

4. He told his father, “Please get this girl for me so that I can marry her.”

5. Jacob learned that Shechem had done this very bad thing to his daughter. But all his sons were out in the fields with the cattle. So he did nothing until they came home.

6. Then Shechem’s father, Hamor, came out to talk with Jacob.
