SIMEON GEN 29:33 She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, "Because the LORD heard that I am not loved, he gave me this one too." So she named him Simeon. GEN 34:1 Now Dinah, the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the land. GEN 34:2 When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, the ruler of that area, saw her, he took her and violated her. GEN 34:5 When Jacob heard that his daughter Dinah had been defiled, his sons were in the fields with his livestock; so he kept quiet about it until they came home. GEN 34:7 Now Jacob's sons had come in from the fields as soon as they heard what had happened. They were filled with grief and fury, because Shechem had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter--a thing that should not be done. GEN 34:13 Because their sister Dinah had been defiled, Jacob's sons replied deceitfully as they spoke to Shechem and his father Hamor. GEN 34:14 They said to them, "We can't do such a thing; we can't give our sister to a man who is not circumcised. That would be a disgrace to us. GEN 34:15 We will give our consent to you on one condition only: that you become like us by circumcising all your males. GEN 34:16 Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves. We'll settle among you and become one people with you. GEN 34:17 But if you will not agree to be circumcised, we'll take our sister and go." GEN 34:18 Their proposal seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem. GEN 34:25 Three days later, while all of them were still in pain, two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and attacked the unsuspecting city, killing every male. GEN 34:26 They put Hamor and his son Shechem to the sword and took Dinah from Shechem's house and left. GEN 34:27 The sons of Jacob came upon the dead bodies and looted the city where their sister had been defiled. GEN 34:28 They seized their flocks and herds and donkeys and everything else of theirs in the city and out in the fields. GEN 34:29 They carried off all their wealth and all their women and children, taking as plunder everything in the houses. GEN 34:30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have brought trouble on me by making me a stench to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people living in this land. We are few in number, and if they join forces against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed." GEN 34:31 But they replied, "Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?" GEN 35:23 The sons of Leah: Reuben the firstborn of Jacob, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar and Zebulun. GEN 42:24 He turned away from them and began to weep, but then turned back and spoke to them again. He had Simeon taken from them and bound before their eyes. GEN 42:36 Their father Jacob said to them, "You have deprived me of my children. Joseph is no more and Simeon is no more, and now you want to take Benjamin. Everything is against me!" GEN 43:23 "It's all right," he said. "Don't be afraid. Your God, the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks; I received your silver." Then he brought Simeon out to them. GEN 46:10 The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman. GEN 49:5 "Simeon and Levi are brothers--their swords are weapons of violence. GEN 49:6 Let me not enter their council, let me not join their assembly, for they have killed men in their anger and hamstrung oxen as they pleased. GEN 49:7 Cursed be their anger, so fierce, and their fury, so cruel! I will scatter them in Jacob and disperse them in Israel.
