• Notes

  Dinah, the daughter of Leah and Jacob, went out to visit the women of Sh e chem, where her people had made camp and where her father Jacob had pur ch ased the land where he had pitched his tent. Shechem the son of Hamor , th e prince of the land, "took her and lay with her and humbled her. An d hi s soul was drawn to Dinah... he loved the maiden and spoke tenderl y to he r," and Shechem asked his father, Hamor, to obtain Dinah for him , to be h is wife. Hamor came to Jacob and asked for Dinah for his son: "Make marriages wi t h us; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves . Y ou shall dwell with us; and the land shall be open to you," and Shech em o ffered Jacob and his sons any bride-price they named. But "the so n s of J a cob answered Shechem and his father Hamor deceitfully, becaus e he had d efiled their sister Dinah," saying they would accept the offe r if the me n of the city agreed to be circumcised. So the men of Shechem were deceived, and were circumcised; and "on the t h ird day, when they were sore, two of the sons of Jacob and Leah, Simeo n a nd Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and came upon the city u nawa res, and killed all the males. They slew Hamor and his son Shechem w ith t he sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went away." An d th e sons of Jacob plundered whatever was in the city and in the field , "al l their wealth, all their little ones and their wives, all that wa s in th e houses." "Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, 'You have brought trouble on me b y m aking me odious to the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and th e Pe rizzites; my numbers are few, and if they gather themselves agains t me an d attack me, I shall be destroyed, both I and my household.' Bu t they sai d (Genesis 34:31), 'Should he treat our sister as a harlot?'"
