The Israelites had brought Joseph’s bones up from Egypt. They buried his bones at Shechem in the piece of land Jacob had bought. He had bought it from the sons of Hamor. He had paid 100 pieces of silver for it. Hamor was the father of Shechem. That piece of land became the share that belonged to Joseph’s children after him.

Moses took the bones of Joseph along with him. Joseph had made the Israelites give their word to do this. He had said,“ God will surely come to help you. When he does, you must carry my bones up from this place with you.”( Genesis 50:25)

Abraham agreed to Ephron’s offer. He weighed out for Ephron the price he had named. The Hittites there had heard the amount. The price was ten pounds of silver. Abraham measured it by the weights that were used by merchants.

But Esau said,“ I already have plenty, my brother. Keep what you have for yourself.”“ No, please!” said Jacob.“ If I’ve pleased you, accept this gift from me. Seeing your face is like seeing the face of God. You have welcomed me so kindly.Please accept the present that was brought to you. God has given me so much. I have everything I need.” Jacob wouldn’t give in. So Esau accepted it.Then Esau said,“ Let’s be on our way. I’ll go with you.”But Jacob said to him,“ You know that the children are young. You also know that I have to take care of the cows and female sheep that are feeding their little ones. If the animals are driven hard for just one day, all of them will die.So you go on ahead of me. I’ll move along only as fast as the flocks and herds and the children can go. I’ll go slowly until I come to you in Seir.”Esau said,“ Then let me leave some of my men with you.”“ Why do that?” Jacob asked.“ I just hope I’ve pleased you.”So that day Esau started on his way back to Seir.But Jacob went to Sukkoth. There he built a place for himself. He also made shelters for his livestock. That’s why the place is named Sukkoth.After Jacob came from Paddan Aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem in Canaan. He camped where he could see the city.For 100 pieces of silver he bought a piece of land. He got it from Hamor’s sons. Hamor was the father of Shechem. Jacob set up his tent on that piece of land.He also set up an altar there. He named it El Elohe Israel.

They carried his body to the land of Canaan. They buried it in the cave in the field of Machpelah near Mamre. Abraham had bought the cave as a place where he could bury his wife’s body. He had bought the cave and the field from Ephron, the Hittite.

Then Jacob gave directions to his sons. He said,“ I’m about to join the members of my family who have already died. Bury me with them in the cave in the field of Ephron, the Hittite.The cave is in the field of Machpelah near Mamre in Canaan. Abraham had bought it as a place where he could bury his wife’s body. He had bought the cave and the field from Ephron, the Hittite.The bodies of Abraham and his wife Sarah were buried there. So were the bodies of Isaac and his wife Rebekah. I also buried Leah’s body there.Abraham bought the field and the cave from the Hittites.”

So Rachel died. She was buried beside the road to Ephrath. Ephrath was also called Bethlehem.

Hamor, the Hivite, was the ruler of that area. When his son Shechem saw Dinah, he took her and raped her.Then he longed for Jacob’s daughter Dinah. He fell in love with her and spoke tenderly to her.Shechem said to his father Hamor,“ Get me that young woman. I want her to be my wife.”Jacob heard that his daughter Dinah had been raped. His sons were in the fields with his livestock. So he did nothing about it until they came home.Then Shechem’s father Hamor went out to talk with Jacob.Jacob’s sons had come in from the fields. They came as soon as they heard what had happened. They were shocked and very angry. Shechem had done a very terrible thing. He had forced Jacob’s daughter to have sex with him. He had done something that should never be done in Israel.But Hamor said to Jacob and his sons,“ My son Shechem wants your daughter. Please give her to him to be his wife.Let your people and ours get married to each other. Give us your daughters as our wives. You can have our daughters as your wives.You can live among us. Here is the land. Live in it. Trade in it. Buy property in it.”Then Shechem spoke to Dinah’s father and brothers. He said,“ I want to please you. I’ll give you anything you ask for.Make the price for the bride as high as you want to. I’ll pay you whatever you ask. Just give me the young woman. I want to marry her.”Their sister Dinah had been raped. So Jacob’s sons lied to Shechem and his father Hamor.They said to them,“ We can’t do it. We can’t give our sister to a man who isn’t circumcised. That would bring shame on us.We’ll agree, but only on one condition. You will have to become like us. You will have to circumcise all your males.Then we’ll give you our daughters as your wives. And we’ll take your daughters as our wives. We’ll live among you and become one big family with you.But if you won’t agree to be circumcised, then we’ll take our sister and go.”Their offer seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem.The young man was the most honored of all his father’s family. He didn’t lose any time in doing what Dinah’s father and brothers had said, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter.Hamor and his son Shechem went to the city gate. They spoke to the other men there.“ These men are friendly toward us,” they said.“ Let them live in our land. Let them trade in it. The land has plenty of room for them. We can marry their daughters. And they can marry ours.But they will agree to live with us as one big family only on one condition. All our males must be circumcised, just as they are.Won’t their livestock and their property belong to us? Won’t all their animals become ours? So let’s say yes to them. Then they’ll live among us.”All the men who went out through the city gate agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem. So every male in the city was circumcised.Three days later, all of them were still in pain. Then Simeon and Levi took their swords. They were Jacob’s sons and Dinah’s brothers. They attacked the city when the people didn’t expect it. They killed every male.They also used their swords to kill Hamor and his son Shechem. Then they took Dinah from Shechem’s house and left.Jacob’s other sons found the dead bodies. They robbed the city where their sister had been raped.They took the flocks and herds and donkeys. They took everything in the city and in the fields.They carried everything away. And they took all the women and children. They took away everything in the houses.Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi,“ You have brought trouble on me. Now I’m like a very bad smell to the Canaanites and Perizzites who live in this land. There aren’t many of us. They may join together against me and attack me. Then I and my family will be destroyed.”But they replied,“ Should Shechem have treated our sister like a prostitute?”
