DINAH

Daughter of Jacob by Leah, Genesis 30:21, his only daughter named in Scripture. While the family were sojourning near Shalem, she heedlessly associated with the Canaanitish maidens, and fell a victim to the seductive arts of Shechem, a young prince of the land; but was perfidiously and savagely avenged by Simeon and Levi, her full brothers, to the great grief of Jacob their father, Genesis 1:34-31Genesis 1:49, Genesis 1:49. She seems to have gone with the family to Egypt, Genesis 46:15.
