30 At this Jacob said to Simʹe·on and to Leʹvi:+ “YOU have brought ostracism upon me in making me a stench to the inhabitants of the land,+ with the Caʹnaan·ites and the Perʹiz·zites; whereas I am few in number,*+ and they will certainly gather together against me and assault me and I must be annihilated, I and my house.”

21 At once they said to them: “May Jehovah look upon YOU and judge,+ since YOU have made us smell offensive*+ before Pharʹaoh and before his servants so as to put a sword in their hand to kill us.”+
