Dinah’s Rape
Gen 33:15-34:8
Schechem took from Dinah her innocence and with it, everything she hoped her life would be. He had no idea that this decision would cost him his life.
The sons of Leah, like any son of an unloved wife, will fight for their place in this world. He is offended for his mother, or his sister, or himself and justifies every kind of evil. He will take whatever he sees fit. The sons of Leah feel as though they are owed. They will not be silent.
Something has happened that has unnaturally empowered these brothers against Jacob. The result is a tragic and horrific irony of rage and lust.
Like an oxen to slaughter, the man with no self-control.
