2 And Siche the sonne of Hemor the Heuite lorde of the countre sawe her and toke her and laye with her and forced her:

3 and his harte laye vnto Dina ye doughter of Iacob. And he loued yt damsell and spake kidly vnto her

4 and spake vnto his father Hemor saynge gett me this mayde vnto my wyfe.

5 And Iacob herde that he had defyled Dina his doughter but his sonnes were with the catell in the felde and therfore he helde his peace vntill they were come.

6 Then Hemor the father of Sichem went out vnto Iacob to come with him.

7 And the sonnes of Iacob came out of the felde as soone as they herde it for it greued them and they were not a litle wrooth because he had wrought folie in Israell in that he had lyen with Iacobs doughter which thinge oughte not to be done.

8 And Hemor comened with the sainge? the soule of my sonne Siche logeth for youre doughter geue her him to wyfe

9 and make mariages with vs: geue youre doughters vnto vs ad take oure doughters vnto you
