Genesis 34:5 Context
3And his soule claue vnto Dinah the daughter of Iacob, and hee loued the damsell, and spake kindly vnto the damsell. 4And Shechem spake vnto his father Hamor, saying, Get mee this damsell to wife. 5And Iacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter (now his sonnes were with his cattel in the field) and Iacob helde his peace vntill they were come. 6¶ And Hamor the father of Shechem went out vnto Iacob to commune with him. 7And the sonnes of Iacob came out of the field when they heard it, and the men were grieued: and they were very wroth, because hee had wrought folly in Israel, in lying with Iacobs daughter; which thing ought not to be done.
