Bible. Books of the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments

26 And they slew Hamor himself, and Shechem his son, with the sword; And they took Dinah out of the house of Shechem, and went out.

27 The sons of Jacob came to the slain and plundered the city, because they had dishonored [Dinah] their sister.

28 And they took their flocks, and their herds, and their asses, and whatever was in the city, and whatever was in the field;

29 And all their riches, and all their children, and their wives, they took captive, and plundered all that was in the houses.

30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have made me angry, making me hateful to the inhabitants of this land, to the Canaanites and Perizzites." I have few people; they shall gather against me, they shall smite me, and I and my house shall be destroyed.

31 And they said, 'Is it possible to deal with our sister as with a harlot?

Chapter 35

1 God said to Jacob, 'Get up, go to Bethel, and dwell there, and build there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the presence of Esau your brother.'

2 And Jacob said to his house, and to all that were with him, Cast away the strange gods that are with you, and be cleansed, and change your garments;

3 Let us arise and go to Bethel; there I will build an altar to God, who heard me in the day of my affliction, and was with me in the way I walked.

4 And they gave to Jacob all the strange gods that were in their hands, and the earrings that were in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak that is near Shechem. [And left them unknown even to this day.]

5 And they departed [from Shechem]. And there was terror of God in the cities round about, and they did not persecute the children of Jacob.

6 And Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, to Bethel, himself, and all the people who were with him,

7 And he built an altar there, and called the place El-Bethel, for it was there that God appeared to him, as he fled from the presence of his brother.
