1 At lumabas si Dina na anak ni Lea, na ipinanganak nito kay Jacob, upang tingnan ang mga anak na babae ng lupaing yaon.

2 At siya'y nakita ni Sichem, anak ni Hamor, na Heveo, na prinsipe sa lupain; at siya'y kinuha at sumiping sa kaniya, at siya'y pinangayupapa.

3 At inilakip niya ang kaniyang kaluluwa kay Dina, na anak ni Jacob at kaniyang sininta ang dalaga, at nakiusap ng kalugodlugod sa dalaga.

4 At si Sichem ay nagsalita sa kaniyang amang kay Hamor, na sinabi, Ipakamit mo sa akin ang dalagang ito na maging asawa ko.

5 Nabalitaan nga ni Jacob na dinahas ang kaniyang anak na si Dina; at ang kaniyang mga anak ay nasa kasamahan ng mga hayop niya sa parang: at tumahimik si Jacob hanggang sa sila'y dumating.

6 At nilabas ni Hamor na ama ni Sichem si Jacob upang makiusap sa kaniya.

7 At ang mga anak ni Jacob ay nagsiuwi mula sa parang nang kanilang mabalitaan: at nangagdamdam ang mga lalake, at nagningas ang kanilang galit, sapagka't gumawa ng kaululan sa Israel, na sinipingan ang anak ni Jacob; bagay na di nararapat gawin.

8 At nakiusap si Hamor sa kanila, na sinasabi, Ang kaluluwa ni Sichem na aking anak ay sumasa iyong anak; ipinamamanhik ko sa inyo na ipagkaloob ninyo sa kaniya na maging asawa niya.

9 At magsipagasawa kayo sa amin; ibigay ninyo sa amin ang inyong mga anak na babae, at ibibigay namin sa inyo ang aming mga anak na babae.

10 At tatahan kayong kasama namin; at ang lupain ay sasa harap ninyo; tumahan kayo at mangalakal kayo riyan at magkaroon kayo ng mga pag-aari riyan.

11 At sinabi ni Sichem sa ama ni Dina, at sa mga kapatid niya, Makasundo nawa ako ng biyaya sa inyong mga mata at ang sabihin ninyo sa akin ay aking ibibigay.

12 Hingin ninyo sa akin ang walang bilang na bigay-kaya at kaloob, at aking ibibigay ayon sa sabihin ninyo sa akin; ipagkaloob lamang ninyo sa akin ang dalaga na maging asawa ko.

13 At nagsisagot na may pagdaraya ang mga anak ni Jacob kay Sichem at kay Hamor na kaniyang ama, at sila'y nagsalitaan, sapagka't kaniyang dinahas si Dina na kanilang kapatid.

14 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Hindi namin magagawa ito, na ibigay ang aming kapatid sa isang hindi tuli; sapagka't isang kasiraan ng puri namin.

15 Sa ganitong paraan lamang papayag kami sa inyo: kung kayo'y magiging gaya namin, na mangatuli ang lahat ng lalake sa inyo;

16 Ay ibibigay nga namin sa inyo ang aming mga anak na babae, at makikisama kami sa inyong mga anak na babae, at tatahan kami sa inyo, at tayo'y magiging isa lamang bayan.

17 Datapuwa't kung ayaw ninyo kaming pakinggan, na kayo'y mangatuli; ay dadalhin nga namin ang aming anak na babae at kami ay yayaon.

18 At ang kanilang mga salita ay kinalugdan ni Hamor at ni Sichem, na anak ni Hamor.

19 At hindi iniliban ng binata ang paggawa niyaon, sapagka't nalugod siya sa anak na babae ni Jacob: at siya ang pinarangalang higit sa buong sangbahayan ng kaniyang ama.

20 At si Hamor at si Sichem na kaniyang anak ay napasa pintuang-bayan ng kanilang bayan, at sila'y nakiusap sa mga tao sa kanilang bayan, na sinasabi.

21 Ang mga taong ito ay tahimik sa atin; kaya't magsitahan sila sa lupain at magsipangalakal sila riyan; sapagka't narito, ang lupain, ay may malabis na kaluwangan sa kanila; tayo'y makisama sa kanilang mga anak na babae, at ating ibigay sa kanila ang ating mga anak.

22 Sa ganito lamang paraan papayagan tayo ng mga taong iyan, sa pagtahan sa atin, na maging isa lamang bayan, kung patuli ang lahat ng lalake sa atin, na gaya naman nila na mga tuli.

23 Di ba magiging atin ang kanilang mga baka at ang kanilang mga pag-aari at ang lahat nilang hayop? Atin lamang silang payagan, at tatahan sa atin.

24 At pinakinggan si Hamor at si Sichem na kaniyang anak, ng lahat na lumalabas sa pintuan ng kaniyang bayan; at ang lahat ng lalake ay nagtuli, ang lahat ng lumalabas sa pintuan ng kaniyang bayan.

25 At nangyari, nang ikatlong araw, nang sila'y nangasasaktan, na ang dalawa sa mga anak ni Jacob, si Simeon at si Levi, na mga kapatid ni Dina, na kumuha ang bawa't isa ng kaniyang tabak, at sila'y lihim na pumasok sa bayan, at kanilang pinatay ang lahat ng mga lalake.

26 At kanilang pinatay si Hamor at si Sichem na kaniyang anak, sa talim ng tabak, at kanilang kinuha si Dina sa bahay ni Sichem, at sila'y nagsialis.

27 Nagsiparoon ang mga anak ni Jacob sa mga patay, at kanilang sinamsaman ang bayan, sapagka't kanilang dinahas ang kapatid nila.

28 Kinuha nila ang kanilang mga kawan at ang kanilang mga bakahan, at ang kanilang mga asno, at ang nasa bayan, at ang nasa parang;

29 At ang kanilang buong yaman, at ang lahat ng kanilang mga anak, at mga asawa, ay dinala nilang bihag at samsam, sa makatuwid baga'y lahat na nasa bahay.

30 At sinabi ni Jacob kay Simeon at kay Levi, Ako'y inyong binagabag, na pinapaging mapagtanim ninyo ako sa mga tumatahan sa lupain, sa mga Cananeo, at sa mga Pherezeo; at akong may kaunting tao, ay magpipisan sila laban sa akin, at ako'y sasaktan nila; at lilipulin ako at ang aking sangbahayan.

31 At kanilang sinabi, Aariin ba niya ang aming kapatid na parang isang patutot?

4500. 'And came with confidence upon the city, and killed every male' means that they utterly destroyed the truths of doctrine of the Church among the Ancients. This is clear from the meaning of 'the city' as the doctrine of the Church, dealt with in 402, 2449, 2943, 3216, 4478, in this case of the Church among the Ancients, for that Church is represented by Hamor and Shechem whose city it was; from the meaning of 'with confidence' as with trust, in this case with trust in falsity and evil; and from the meaning of 'a male' as truth, dealt with in 749, 2046, 4005. From these meanings it is evident that 'they came with confidence upon the city, and killed every male' means that with a trust in falsity and evil they utterly destroyed the truths of doctrine of the Church among the Ancients.

[2] It was the Church among the Ancients, a descendant of the Most Ancient Church, that was going to be established among the descendants from Jacob, because the Ancient Church had begun to perish. But the fact that they utterly destroyed every truth of faith and good of charity, and thus every internal aspect of worship among them, and so the fact that no Church could be established among Jacob's descendants, is described at this point in the internal sense. This explains how it came about that, because of their stubborn insistence, that which was merely a representative of the Church was established among them 4281, 4288-4290, 4293, 4307, 4314, 4316, 4317, 4429, 4433, 4444.

4433. 'And he took her, and lay with her, and ravished her' means that there was no other way in which it could be joined to the affection for truth meant by the sons of Jacob, her brothers. This is clear from the meaning of 'taking her, lying with her, and ravishing her' as being joined together, though not in the rightful way, which is through betrothal. But the meaning these words carry, that there was no other way in which they could be joined together, cannot be seen by anyone unless he knows the fuller implications of them. Interior truth received from the Ancients, which is meant by 'Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite', is the truth which among the Ancients had served the internal dimension of the Church, and so had been the internal dimension of their statutes, judgements, and laws, in short of their religious observances and the like. Those truths were their matters of doctrine on which they based their lives, which were in fact matters of doctrine concerning charity; for in ancient times those who belonged to the genuine Church had no other kind of doctrine. These same truths may be called, in relation to doctrine, the interior truths of faith, but in relation to life, goods. If a Church was to be established among the nation descended from Jacob it was necessary for them to be introduced into those truths and goods. For unless internal things are present within external ones, that is, unless people have internal things in mind when involved with external ones - and unless at the same time they feel an affection for internal things or at least unless they feel an affection for external things on account of internal ones, nothing of the Church is there. Internal things constitute the Church, for the Lord is present within these; that is to say, spiritual and celestial things originating in Him are present within them.

[2] But the nation descended from Jacob, that is, the Israelitish and Jewish nation, was unable to be introduced in the rightful way which is through betrothal, for the reason that their external worship did not correspond [to anything internal]. For they received from their fore-fathers - from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob - the worship established by Eber, which was different externally from the worship of the Ancient Church, see 1238, 1241, 1343, 2180. And because that worship was different, interior truths which existed among the Ancients were not able to be joined to it in the rightful way through betrothal, only in the way described in this chapter. This enables one to understand what is involved in the assertion that there was no other way in which it could be joined to the affection for truth meant by 'the sons of Jacob, Dinah's brothers'.

[3] But although a joining together could have been effected in this way, in accordance with the law, also known to the Ancients, which is set out in Exodus 22:16; Deuteronomy 22:28-29, the character of that nation was nevertheless such that it would by no means allow any joining of interior truth received from the Ancients to the external forms of worship that existed among the descendants of Jacob, 4281, 4290, 4293, 4307, 4314, 4316, 4317. Among that nation therefore no Church could be established, but instead merely that which was a representative of the Church, see 4281, 4288, 4307. The character of that nation, which was such that it was not only unable to receive interior truths but also completely annihilated them among themselves, is represented in this chapter by the sons of Jacob answering Shechem and Hamor deceitfully, verse 13; and after that by Simeon and Levi's smiting the city with the edge of the sword and killing Shechem and Hamor, verses 25-26; and by the rest of the sons coming upon the slain and plundering the city, and taking away the flocks, the herds, and whatever there was in the city, in the field, and in the houses, verses 27-29. This shows what is meant by the prophetical utterances of Jacob, who by then was Israel,

Simeon and Levi are brothers; instruments of violence are their swords. Into their secret place let my soul not come; in their congregation let not my glory be united; for in their anger they killed a man, and in their pleasure they hamstrung an ox. Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce, and their fury, for it is severe. I will divide them in Jacob, and will scatter them in Israel. Genesis 49:5-7.
