[1]And DinahH1783 the daughterH1323 of LeahH3812, which she bareH3205 H8804unto JacobH3290, went outH3318 H8799to seeH7200 H8800the daughtersH1323 of the landH776. |

| [3]And his soule was boundun faste with hir, and he pleside hir sory with flateringis. |
[3]And his soulH5315 claveH1692 H8799unto DinahH1783 the daughterH1323 of JacobH3290, and he lovedH157 H8799the damselH5291, and spakeH1696 H8762kindlyH3820 unto the damselH5291. |
| [4]And he yede to Emor, |
[4]And ShechemH7927 spakeH559 H8799unto his fatherH1 HamorH2544, sayingH559 , H8800GetH3947 H8798me this damselH3207 to wifeH802. |

[5]And JacobH3290 heardH8085 H8804that he had defiledH2930 H8765DinahH1783 his daughterH1323: now his sonsH1121 were with his cattleH4735 in the fieldH7704: and JacobH3290 held his peaceH2790 H8689until they were comeH935.[H8800] |
| [6]Sotheli whanne Emor, the fadir of Sichem, was gon out, `that he schulde speke to Jacob, lo! |
[6]And HamorH2544 the fatherH1 of ShechemH7927 went outH3318 H8799unto JacobH3290 to communeH1696 H8763with himH854. |
| [7]hise sones camen fro the feeld. And whanne this thing that bifelde was herd, thei weren wroothe greetli; for he wrouyte a foul thing in Israel, and he hadde do a thing vnleueful in the defoulyng of the douyter of Jacob. |
[7]And the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 cameH935 H8804out of the fieldH7704 when they heardH8085 H8800it: and the menH582 were grievedH6087 , H8691and they were veryH3966 wrothH2734 , H8799because he had wroughtH6213 H8804follyH5039 in IsraelH3478 in lyingH7901 H8800with Jacob'sH3290 daughterH1323; which thing ought not to be doneH6213.[H8735] |
| [8]And so Emor spak to hem, The soule of my sone Sichem cleuyde to youre douytir, yeue ye hir a wijf to hym, |
[8]And HamorH2544 communedH1696 H8762with them, sayingH559 , H8800The soulH5315 of my sonH1121 ShechemH7927 longethH2836 H8804for your daughterH1323: I pray you giveH5414 H8798her him to wifeH802. |
| [9]and ioyne we weddyngis to gidere; yyue ye youre douytris to vs, |
[9]And make ye marriagesH2859 H8690with us, and giveH5414 H8799your daughtersH1323 unto us, and takeH3947 H8799our daughters unto youH1323. |
| [10]and take ye oure douytris, and dwelle ye with vs; the lond is in youre power, tile ye, make ye marchaundise, and welde ye it. |

| [11]But also Sichem seide to the fadir and britheren of hir, Fynde Y grace bifor you, and what euer thingis ye ordeynen Y schal yyue; |
[11]And ShechemH7927 saidH559 H8799unto her fatherH1 and unto her brethrenH251, Let me findH4672 H8799graceH2580 in your eyesH5869, and what ye shall sayH559 H8799unto me I will giveH5414.[H8799] |
| [12]encreesse ye the dower, and axe ye yiftis, Y schal yyue wilfull that that ye axen; oonli yyue ye this damysele a wijf to me. |

| [13]The sones of Jacob answeriden in gile to Sichem and his fadir, and weren feerse for the defoulyng of maidenhod of the sistir, |
[13]And the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 answeredH6030 H8799ShechemH7927 and HamorH2544 his fatherH1 deceitfullyH4820, and saidH1696 , H8762because he had defiledH2930 H8765DinahH1783 their sisterH269: |
| [14]We moun not do this that ye axen, nether we moun yyue oure sistir to a man vncircumcidid, which thing is vnleueful and abhomynable anentis vs. |
[14]And they saidH559 H8799unto them, We cannotH3808[H3201] H8799doH6213 H8800this thingH1697, to giveH5414 H8800our sisterH269 to oneH376 that is uncircumcisedH6190; for that were a reproach unto usH2781: |
| [15]But in this we schulen mowe be boundun in pees, if ye wole be lijk vs, and ech of male kynde be circumcidid in you, |
[15]But in thisH2063 will we consentH225 H8735unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every maleH2145 of you be circumcisedH4135;[H8736] |
| [16]thanne we schulen yyue and take togidre oure douytris and youre; and we schulen dwelle with you, and we schulen be o puple. |
[16]Then will we giveH5414 H8804our daughtersH1323 unto you, and we will takeH3947 H8799your daughtersH1323 to us, and we will dwellH3427 H8804with you, and we will become oneH259 peopleH5971. |
| [17]Forsothe if ye nylen be circumcidid, we schulen take oure douytir, and schulen go a wei. |
[17]But if ye will not hearkenH8085 H8799unto us, to be circumcisedH4135 ; H8736then will we takeH3947 H8804our daughterH1323, and we will be goneH1980.[H8804] |
| [18]The profryng of hem pleside Emor and Sichem, |
[18]And their wordsH1697 pleasedH3190[H8799] H5869HamorH2544, and ShechemH7927 Hamor'sH2544 sonH1121. |
| [19]his sone, and the yong wexynge man dilaiede not, that ne he fillide anoon that that was axid, for he louede the damysele greetli, and he was noble in al `the hous of his fadir. |
[19]And the young manH5288 deferredH309 H8765not to doH6213 H8800the thingH1697, because he had delightH2654 H8804in Jacob'sH3290 daughterH1323: and he was more honourableH3513 H8737than all the houseH1004 of his fatherH1. |
| [20]And thei entriden in to the yate of the citee, and spaken to the puple, |
[20]And HamorH2544 and ShechemH7927 his sonH1121 cameH935 H8799unto the gateH8179 of their cityH5892, and communedH1696 H8762with the menH582 of their cityH5892, sayingH559,[H8800] |

[21]These menH582 are peaceableH8003 withH854 us; therefore let them dwellH3427 H8799in the landH776, and tradeH5503 H8799therein; for the landH776, behold, it is largeH7342 enoughH3027 for themH6440; let us takeH3947 H8799their daughtersH1323 to us for wivesH802, and let us giveH5414 H8799them our daughtersH1323. |
| [22]O thing is, for which so greet good is dilaied; if we circumciden oure malis, and suen the custom of the folc, |
[22]Only hereinH2063 will the menH582 consentH225 H8735unto us for to dwellH3427 H8800with us, to be oneH259 peopleH5971, if every maleH2145 among us be circumcisedH4135 , H8736as they are circumcisedH4135.[H8737] |
| [23]bothe her substaunce, and scheep, and alle thingis which thei welden, schulen be oure; oneli assente we in this, that we dwelle to gidere, and make o puple. |
[23]Shall not their cattleH4735 and their substanceH7075 and every beastH929 of theirs be ours? only let us consentH225 H8735unto them, and they will dwellH3427 with usH8799. |
| [24]And alle men assentiden, and alle malis weren circumcidid. |
[24]And unto HamorH2544 and unto ShechemH7927 his sonH1121 hearkenedH8085 H8799all that went outH3318 H8802of the gateH8179 of his cityH5892; and every maleH2145 was circumcisedH4135 , H8735all that went outH3318 H8802of the gateH8179 of his cityH5892. |
| [25]And lo! in the thridde day, whanne the sorewe of woundis was moost greuous, twei sones of acob, Symeon and Leuy, britheren of Dyna, token swerdis, and entriden in to the citee booldeli; and whanne alle malis weren slayn, |
[25]And it came to pass on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, when they were soreH3510 , H8802that twoH8147 of the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290, SimeonH8095 and LeviH3878, Dinah'sH1783 brethrenH251, tookH3947 H8799each manH376 his swordH2719, and cameH935 H8799upon the cityH5892 boldlyH983, and slewH2026 H8799all the malesH2145. |
| [26]thei killiden Emor and Sichem togidere, and token Dyna, her sistir, fro the hous of Sichem. |
[26]And they slewH2026 H8804HamorH2544 and ShechemH7927 his sonH1121 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and tookH3947 DinahH1783 outH3947 H8799of Shechem'sH7927 houseH1004, and went outH3318.[H8799] |
| [27]And whanne thei weren goon out, othere sones of Jacob felden in on the slayn men, and rifeliden the citee for the veniaunce of defoulyng of a virgyn. |
[27]The sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 cameH935 H8804upon the slainH2491, and spoiledH962 H8799the cityH5892, because they had defiledH2930 H8765their sisterH269. |
| [28]And thei wastiden the scheep of tho men, and droues of oxun, and assis, and alle thingis that weren in howsis and feeldis, |
[28]They tookH3947 H8804their sheepH6629, and their oxenH1241, and their assesH2543, and that which was in the cityH5892, and that which was in the fieldH7704, |
| [29]and ledden prisoneris the litle children, and wyues of tho men. |
[29]And all their wealthH2428, and all their little onesH2945, and their wivesH802 took they captiveH7617 , H8804and spoiledH962 H8799even all that was in the houseH1004. |

[31]And they saidH559 , H8799Should he dealH6213 H8799with our sisterH269 as with an harlotH2181?[H8802] |
