Genesis 34:25-31
In three days, when they were still in pain, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword and went to the unsuspecting city and slaughtered every male.They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the sword, took Dinah from Shechem’s house, and left.Jacob’s sons killed them and looted the city because their sister had been violated.They took their flocks, herds, and donkeys, as well as everything in the city and in the surrounding fields.They captured as plunder all their wealth, all their little ones, and their wives, including everything in the houses.Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi,“ You have brought ruin on me by making me a foul odor among the inhabitants of the land– among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number; they will join forces against me and attack me, and both I and my family will be destroyed!”But Simeon and Levi replied,“ Should he treat our sister like a common prostitute?”
