ABSTRACT
Now Dinah, the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the land. When Shecham son of Hamor the Hivite, the ruler of the area, saw her, he took her and violated her…. When Jacob heard that his daughter Dinah had been defiled, his sons were in the fields with his livestock; so he kept quiet about it until they came home…. Now Jacob's sons had come in from the fields as soon as they heard what happened. They were filled with grief and fury, because Shechem had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter—a thing that should not be done.
