# The sons of [Jacob](rc://en/tw/dict/bible/names/jacob) answered [Shechem](rc://en/tw/dict/bible/names/shechem) and Hamor his father with deceit

The abstract noun "deceit" can be stated as the verb "lied." AT: "But the sons of [Jacob](rc://en/tw/dict/bible/names/jacob) lied to [Shechem](rc://en/tw/dict/bible/names/shechem) and Hamor when they answered them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])

# [Shechem](rc://en/tw/dict/bible/names/shechem) had defiled Dinah
|
|
|
|
This means that [Shechem](rc://en/tw/dict/bible/names/shechem) had greatly dishonored and disgraced Dinah by forcing her to sleep with him. See how you translated "defiled" in [Genesis 34:5](./04.md).
