God's Chosen (Messed-Up) People (PART IV)
Dinah
"Now Dinah, the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the land. When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, the ruler of that area, saw her, he took her and violated her." (Genesis 34:1,2 NIV)
Simeon and Levi
"Because their sister Dinah had been defiled, Jacob's sons replied deceitfully as they spoke to Shechem and his father Hamor. They said to them, 'We can't do such a thing; we can't give our sister to a man who is not circumcised. ... We will give our consent to you on one condition only: that you become like us by circumcising all your males.' ... All the men who went out of the city gate agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male in the city was circumcised. Three days later, while all of them were still in pain, two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and attached the unsuspecting city, killing every male." (Genesis 34:13, 14, 15, 24-25)
