her, ravishing the virgin. <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/34-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>And his soul was fast knit unto her, and whereas she was sad, he comforted her with sweet words. <span

forthwith fulfilled what was required, for he loved the damsel exceedingly, and he was the greatest man in all his father's house. <span class="reftext"><a

peaceable and willing to dwell with us: let them trade in the land, and till it, which being large and wide wanteth men to till it: we shall take their daughters for wives, and we will give them ours. <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/34-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>One thing there is for which so great a good is deferred: We must circumcise every male among us, following the manner of the nation. <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/34-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>And their substance, and cattle, and all that they possess, shall be ours: only in this let us condescend, and by dwelling together, we shall make one people. <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/34-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>And they all agreed, and circumcised all the males. </p> <p class="reg"><span

taking their swords, entered boldly into the city, and slew all the men: <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/34-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>And they killed also Hemor and Sichem, and took away their sister Dina, out of Sichem's house. <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/34-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>And when they were gone out, the other sons of Jacob came upon the slain; and plundered the city in revenge of the rape. <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/34-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>And they took their sheep and their herds and their asses, wasting all they had in their houses and in the fields. <span class="reftext"><a href="/genesis/34-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>and their children and wives they took captive, <span class="reftext"><a

Pherezites, the inhabitants of this land: we are few: they will gather themselves together and kill me; and both I, and my house, shall be destroyed. <span class="reftext"><a
