OET (OET-RV) When Yacob heard that Shekem had dishonoured his daughter Dinah, his sons were out in the fields with his livestock, so Yacob waited quietly until they got home.
וְיַעֲקֹ֣ב שָׁמַ֗ע כִּ֤י
and,Jacob heard that/for/because/then/when
Alternate translation: “When Jacob was told by someone that”
טִמֵּא֙ אֶת דִּינָ֣ה בִתּ֔וֹ
defiled DOM Dīnāh daughter,his
Alternate translation: “Shechem had disgraced his daughter Dinah,” or “his daughter Dinah had been disgraced by Shechem,”
וּבָנָ֛יו הָי֥וּ אֶת מִקְנֵ֖הוּ בַּשָּׂדֶ֑ה
and,sons,his they_were DOM livestock,his in_the=field
Alternate translation: “his sons were still tending his livestock out in the fields,” or “his sons were still out in the fields taking care of his livestock”
וְהֶחֱרִ֥שׁ יַעֲקֹ֖ב
and,kept_silent Yaakob
Make sure your translation of this phrase does not mean that Jacob was totally silent. Rather, it means he did not speak about what Shechem had done to Dinah.
עַד בֹּאָֽם
until came,they
Alternate translation: “until they came back home.”
34:1-31 Once Jacob and his family settled in the land, the Canaanite presence became a threat. This account is a stern warning to the Israelites about the possibility of their being defiled by the Canaanites. The nation of Israel was later commanded not to intermarry or make treaties with them, for they were a corrupt and corrupting people. This chapter implicitly warns against becoming familiar with the way they lived (34:1-2). It also taught Israel that in dealing with the Canaanites, they were to keep their integrity and not use the holy things of the covenant for deception and slaughter (34:13); Israel’s reputation was at stake in the land (34:30). For their ruthless violence, Simeon and Levi were passed over in the birthright blessing (49:5-7).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
