Their bodies were brought back to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought from the sons of Hamor at Shechem for a certain sum of money.

Some of their bodies were brought back to Shechem. They were placed in a tomb Abraham had bought. He had purchased it from Hamor’s sons at Shechem. He had purchased it for a certain amount of money.

and they were carried back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham had bought for a sum of silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.

were carried back to Shechem, and were placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought for a sum of silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.

And they were brought back from there to Shechem and laid in the tomb which Abraham had purchased for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.

And they were carried back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem.

and they were carried over unto Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver of the sons of Hamor in Shechem.

were carried back to Shechem, and were placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought for a sum of silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.

And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor[ the father] of Sychem.

and their bones were later moved to Shechem and placed in the tomb that Abraham had bought for a certain sum of money from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.

and they were brought back to Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver from the children of Hamor of Shechem.

The bones of Joseph, which the Israelites had brought along with them when they left Egypt, were buried at Shechem, in the plot of land Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor for 100 pieces of silver. This land was located in the territory allotted to the descendants of Joseph.

Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for Joseph had made the sons of Israel swear to do this. He said,“ God will certainly come to help you. When he does, you must take my bones with you from this place.”

So Abraham agreed to Ephron’s price and paid the amount he had suggested— 400 pieces of silver, weighed according to the market standard. The Hittite elders witnessed the transaction.

“ My brother, I have plenty,” Esau answered.“ Keep what you have for yourself.”But Jacob insisted,“ No, if I have found favor with you, please accept this gift from me. And what a relief to see your friendly smile. It is like seeing the face of God!Please take this gift I have brought you, for God has been very gracious to me. I have more than enough.” And because Jacob insisted, Esau finally accepted the gift.“ Well,” Esau said,“ let’s be going. I will lead the way.”But Jacob replied,“ You can see, my lord, that some of the children are very young, and the flocks and herds have their young, too. If they are driven too hard, even for one day, all the animals could die.Please, my lord, go ahead of your servant. We will follow slowly, at a pace that is comfortable for the livestock and the children. I will meet you at Seir.”“ All right,” Esau said,“ but at least let me assign some of my men to guide and protect you.” Jacob responded,“ That’s not necessary. It’s enough that you’ve received me warmly, my lord!”So Esau turned around and started back to Seir that same day.Jacob, on the other hand, traveled on to Succoth. There he built himself a house and made shelters for his livestock. That is why the place was named Succoth( which means“ shelters”).Later, having traveled all the way from Paddan aram, Jacob arrived safely at the town of Shechem, in the land of Canaan. There he set up camp outside the town.Jacob bought the plot of land where he camped from the family of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for 100 pieces of silver.And there he built an altar and named it El Elohe Israel.

They carried his body to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre. This is the cave that Abraham had bought as a permanent burial site from Ephron the Hittite.

Then Jacob instructed them,“ Soon I will die and join my ancestors. Bury me with my father and grandfather in the cave in the field of Ephron the Hittite.This is the cave in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre in Canaan, that Abraham bought from Ephron the Hittite as a permanent burial site.There Abraham and his wife Sarah are buried. There Isaac and his wife, Rebekah, are buried. And there I buried Leah.It is the plot of land and the cave that my grandfather Abraham bought from the Hittites.”

So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath( that is, Bethlehem).

But when the local prince, Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, saw Dinah, he seized her and raped her.But then he fell in love with her, and he tried to win her affection with tender words.He said to his father, Hamor,“ Get me this young girl. I want to marry her.”Soon Jacob heard that Shechem had defiled his daughter, Dinah. But since his sons were out in the fields herding his livestock, he said nothing until they returned.Hamor, Shechem’s father, came to discuss the matter with Jacob.Meanwhile, Jacob’s sons had come in from the field as soon as they heard what had happened. They were shocked and furious that their sister had been raped. Shechem had done a disgraceful thing against Jacob’s family, something that should never be done.Hamor tried to speak with Jacob and his sons.“ My son Shechem is truly in love with your daughter,” he said.“ Please let him marry her.In fact, let’s arrange other marriages, too. You give us your daughters for our sons, and we will give you our daughters for your sons.And you may live among us; the land is open to you! Settle here and trade with us. And feel free to buy property in the area.”Then Shechem himself spoke to Dinah’s father and brothers.“ Please be kind to me, and let me marry her,” he begged.“ I will give you whatever you ask.No matter what dowry or gift you demand, I will gladly pay it— just give me the girl as my wife.”But since Shechem had defiled their sister, Dinah, Jacob’s sons responded deceitfully to Shechem and his father, Hamor.They said to them,“ We couldn’t possibly allow this, because you’re not circumcised. It would be a disgrace for our sister to marry a man like you!But here is a solution. If every man among you will be circumcised like we are,then we will give you our daughters, and we’ll take your daughters for ourselves. We will live among you and become one people.But if you don’t agree to be circumcised, we will take her and be on our way.”Hamor and his son Shechem agreed to their proposal.Shechem wasted no time in acting on this request, for he wanted Jacob’s daughter desperately. Shechem was a highly respected member of his family,and he went with his father, Hamor, to present this proposal to the leaders at the town gate.“ These men are our friends,” they said.“ Let’s invite them to live here among us and trade freely. Look, the land is large enough to hold them. We can take their daughters as wives and let them marry ours.But they will consider staying here and becoming one people with us only if all of our men are circumcised, just as they are.But if we do this, all their livestock and possessions will eventually be ours. Come, let’s agree to their terms and let them settle here among us.”So all the men in the town council agreed with Hamor and Shechem, and every male in the town was circumcised.But three days later, when their wounds were still sore, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, who were Dinah’s full brothers, took their swords and entered the town without opposition. Then they slaughtered every male there,including Hamor and his son Shechem. They killed them with their swords, then took Dinah from Shechem’s house and returned to their camp.Meanwhile, the rest of Jacob’s sons arrived. Finding the men slaughtered, they plundered the town because their sister had been defiled there.They seized all the flocks and herds and donkeys— everything they could lay their hands on, both inside the town and outside in the fields.They looted all their wealth and plundered their houses. They also took all their little children and wives and led them away as captives.Afterward Jacob said to Simeon and Levi,“ You have ruined me! You’ve made me stink among all the people of this land— among all the Canaanites and Perizzites. We are so few that they will join forces and crush us. I will be ruined, and my entire household will be wiped out!”“ But why should we let him treat our sister like a prostitute?” they retorted angrily.
