## Genesis 34:2-4 in Context (Verses 1–7 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/genesis/34/1) And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/genesis/34/2) And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.*
 
 [3 ](/kjv/genesis/34/3) And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.*
 
 [4 ](/kjv/genesis/34/4) And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/genesis/34/5) And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/genesis/34/6) ¶ And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/genesis/34/7) And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard *it:* and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter; which thing ought not to be done.
