And their words pleased Hemor and Shechem his son. And the young man deferred not for to do the thing / because he had a lust to Jacobs daughter: he was also most set by of all that were in his fathers house. Than Hemor and Shechem went unto the gate of their city / and communed with the men of their city saying. These men are peaceable with us / & will dwell in the land and do their occupation therein And in the land is room enough for them / let us take their daughters to wives and give them ours: only herm will they consent unto us for to dwell with us and to be one people: if all the men children that are among us be circumcised as they are. Their goods & their substance and all their cattle are ours / only let us consent unto them / that they may dwell with us.

And unto Hemor and Shechem his son hearkened all that went out at the gate of his city. And all the men children were circumcised what soever went out at the gates of his city. And the third day when it was painful to them / ij. of the sons of Jacob Simeon & Levi ⟨image 58⟩Dinah's brethren / toke ether of them his sword & went in to the city boldly / and slew all that was male / and slew also H•m•• and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword / and toke Dinah their sister out of Sichem's house / and went their way.
