Genesis 34 in the early church

Now Dinah, the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the daughters of the land.

When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the region, saw her, he took her and lay with her by force.

Meanwhile, Shechem’s father Hamor came to speak with Jacob.

But because Shechem had defiled their sister Dinah, Jacob’s sons answered him and his father Hamor deceitfully.

“We cannot do such a thing,” they said. “To give our sister to an uncircumcised man would be a disgrace to us.

We will consent to this on one condition, that you become circumcised like us—every one of your males.

Three 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.

They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords, took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.

Jacob’s other sons came upon the slaughter and looted the city, because their sister had been defiled.

Then 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.”

But they replied, “Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?”
