Genèse 34:1-31

CHAPTER 34 Defilement of Dinah

1. The defilement (Genèse 34:1)

2. Hamor's proposal (Genèse 34:4)

3. The deceitful answer of Jacob's sons (Genèse 34:13)

4. The males of Shechem slain (Genèse 34:25)

5. Jacob's shame and grief (Genèse 34:30)

If Jacob after the Peniel experience had gone to Bethel instead of building a house at Succoth and buying a parcel of a field, perhaps this sad event might never have occurred. God permitted it for the humiliation of His servant Jacob. Again he reaps what he had sown and the deceit of the father is reflected in the deceit of some of his sons.
