And filled with the breatha of Ha’Elohimb, Jacob spoke unto his daughter Dinah, saying: Dinah is the rosec of Israel;
3
Therefore, her throne shall be found in all of Israel, and she shall come down from the Northa as the Southb shall come up, and the Eastc and the Westd shall embrace her.
4
For in that day that Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the region, saw thee, his passion was drawna, and his soul clung to thee;
5
And he loved thee and spoke to thee tenderly in his passions; and he declared unto his father: Get me this young maiden as my wife.
6
¶ And it came to pass that thy brothers, Simeon and Levi, did hear rumors most foul; that this man should take thee, and to lie with thee by force;
7
Therefore, did they do this crime unto me, saying: That all of the house of Hamor should damagea themselves for this marriage to come to pass.
8
And even after the house of Hamor accepted this deception, thy brothers, Simeon and Levi, did come into their house to wage war and to kill them and to rob them, and to defile them;
9
For they saw this mingling of blood as the mingling of the poor and the unpoor, the unholy and the holy, and they became even that which they had feared:
10
They saw not that thou should bring YHVHa unto the house of Hamor, but only that his house was unworthy.
11
And my house did give up much to keep the peace between Israel and the Canaanites and Perizzites, that they not unite against me and attack me, that Israel be not destroyed.
12
And now we see that thy marriage is stronga, and that the House of Hamor is no more, but is as one of Israel, through thee, my daughter.
13
¶ And in the thirda year, the twelfthb month shall fall twice as the spring should come in, that Israel shalt regain her strength, that when the summer arises, her joy should come in;
14
For by the fruit of thy labors shall Israel be united with all the creation, that the fullness might come in;
15
Therefore, by the fruit of the treesa shall Israel know that thy month hath come in.
16
¶ And in the last days, after the sons of Israel cease to put aside their wives and their daughters, and the Face of Elohima hath no longer been forgotten, thou shall be remembered, my daughter;
17
And my sons shall regain their strength as they return unto thee thy birthright, and make thy paths known, and keep thy secrets no longer.
18
For thy brothers, Simeon and Levi, these did ask of me: Shall he make our sister like a harlot?
19
Yet in their rash anger, and in their violence, they did treat thee as such, seeing thee as a possession to own, and not as the strength that thou art;
20
Therefore, in the last days when thy brother Levi shall remember their sister, and when Simeon shall see thy strength, thou shalt return again Israel from blindness and vengeance unto peace.
