Genesis 34:20So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city and addressed the men of their city:Genesis 34:21“These men are at peace with us. Let them live and trade in our land; indeed, it is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters in marriage and give our daughters to them.Genesis 34:22But only on this condition will the men agree to dwell with us and be one people: if all our men are circumcised as they are.Genesis 34:23Will not their livestock, their possessions, and all their animals become ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell among us.”Genesis 34:24All the men who went out of the city gate listened to Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male of the city was circumcised.Genesis 34:25Three days later, while they were still in pain, two of Jacob’s sons (Dinah’s brothers Simeon and Levi) took their swords, went into the unsuspecting city, and slaughtered every male.Genesis 34:26They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords, took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.Genesis 34:27Jacob’s other sons came upon the slaughter and looted the city, because their sister had been defiled.Genesis 34:28They took their flocks and herds and donkeys, and everything else in the city or in the field.Genesis 34:29They carried off all their possessions and women and children, and they plundered everything in their houses.Genesis 34:30Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble upon me by making me a stench to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people of this land. We are few in number; if they unite against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.”Genesis 34:31But they replied, “Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?”Psalm 94:1O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth.Romans 12:19Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”
