And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way toward Shechem; yea, they have committed lewdness.

And like a band of thieves waiting for a man, so are the priests watching secretly the way of those going quickly to Shechem, for they are working with an evil design.

Και ως στιφη ληστων παραμονευοντα ανθρωπον, ουτως ο συλλογος των ιερεων φονευουσιν εν τη οδω μεχρι Συχεμ· διοτι επραξαν αισχρα.

And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.
