1And when I was going to my father, I found a brazen shield; wherefore also the name of the mountain is Aspis, which is near Gebal, to the south of Abila
2And I kept these words in my heart.
3And after this I counselled my father, and Reuben my brother, to bid the sons of Hamor not to be circumcised; for I was zealous because of the abomination which they had wrought on my sister.
4And I slew Shechem first, and Simeon slew Hamor.
5And after this my brothers came and smote that city with the edge of the sword.
6And my father heard these things and was wroth, and he was grieved in that they had received the circumcision, and after that had been put to death, and in his blessings he looked amiss upon us.
7For we sinned because we had done this thing against his will, and he was sick on that day.
8But I saw that the sentence of God was for evil upon Shechem; for they sought to do to Sarah and Rebecca as they had done to Dinah our sister, but the Lord prevented them.
9And they persecuted Abraham our father when he was a stranger, and they vexed his flocks when they were big with young; and Eblaen, who was born in his house, they most shamefully handled.
10And thus they did to all strangers, taking away their wives by force, and they banished them.
11But the wrath of the Lord came upon them to the uttermost.
