# the dead bodies
"the dead bodies of Hamor, Shechem, and their men"
# looted the city
"stole everything in the city that was valuable"
# because the people had defiled their sister
Shechem alone had defiled Dinah, but Jacob's sons considered Shechem's entire family and everyone in the city responsible for this act.
# had defiled
This means that Shechem had greatly dishonored and disgraced Dinah by forcing her to sleep with him. See how you translated "defiled" in [Genesis 34:5](../34/05.md).
