People never talked about Jacobs hate for his kids with leah. He didn't care for those kids as much as he loved Joseph and Benjamin. So when dinah was raped the only people who cared were her brothers, sad favouritism of kids is still going on right now.
Yes. Jacob was not innocent for even his name supposedly means deceiver which is why God renamed him Israel. But I will tell you on his deathbed he had to have regretted the way he treated his kids because he poetically described each one of them in his dying breath while also practically cursing them. But Dinah was not there so that means she already died.
Amen. I needed to hear this lesson and prayer. There are many spiritual warfare in my family currently. Please pray for my daughter, the devil is filling her head with lies and trying to turn her against me. Thanks or your prayers

Praying for you all. Remember Jesus came to bring the ⚔️ not peace. This may be a sign that it’s time y’all choose sides. Not meaning in a bad way. My family is going through this and because they won’t come together in love we are being bought together to mourn. Some of them are not willing to get it together because God has called and their heart are hardened. I made the decision to accept God’s offer and follow Christ. You do your part and continue to pray for them I will definitely keep y’all in our family’s prayer and please do the same for my family. Stay encouraged and fight the good fight. Blessings and prays to you and your family.
That is called a Family Curse.. And a Family Curse can only be put by some one with the same Blood of that Family.. Hence why it is called a Family Curse
You have to use your authority over the evil spirit and come against it. After you get rid of it loose the spirit of health and peace over him instead and submit your prayer to the Lord.
@@justelder6192 forgive my ignorance, I don't understand the theory of a "Family Curse". Who or what has the power to curse a family? Christian believers can pray for situations and for protection from the evil one. Lord bless and God Speed.
How to get back in Christ. I am ruined and see this was horrible. Please Satan trying to kill me and I wasn't SPIRITUALLY battling and now feel reprobate and sinful. In this world system. Please pray.
This is some powerful stuff and a great message. Hopefully I remember this if ever there comes a day where I feel the need to seek vengeance. There's nothing I hate more than evil going unpunished. I just have to put my trust in God that He will be the one to carry out the retribution.
I'm the same way. I have a difficult time forgiving anyone who does extreme evil to me or anyone close to me... I'm very fair just not very merciful. I can admit this...
@@whitneybentakadongo6248 If you knew Jesus you would be merciful, and you wouldn't be so quick to say "I'm fair and kind" Remember from where you come from, repent and stick to Jesus who said : "If you don't forgive men their offenses, your Father in Heaven will NOT forgive you your offenses either." Get to know Him, get to hear HIS VOICE!
After Jacob's son's betrayal of Joseph, we see that, one by one, each one of the brothers as not being worthy of the birth right. This also included Dinah as Jacob could have given her to a worthy man in marriage and then adopted her son as his heir. But Shechem's actions ended this possibility. Only when Judah offered up his own life, to protect Joseph's Brother Benjamin, would Jacob find his true heir. But even then that road to maturity, for Judah, was not a pretty one, but one full of the grace of God.
Dinah is copied from the Latin Diana/Greek Artemis. Her father is Zeus, another name for Jacob. The Greek Leto, Latin Latonia, Lycian Lada became Leah (darkness) the first wife of Jacob.

so good the lesson for everyones life to be cautious of the situation around in the light of Gods word, thank you I loved listening till the end👍glory be GOD 💥
Jacob was deceitful and deceit continued through the generations. Shechem was horrible but the fact that Dinahs brothers killed a whole city was terrible. So much evil. So sad. There are always consequences for our wrong choices. Shechems whole family died or were taken captive because of what he did but Jacob's sons and future generations also paid the consequences for their actions too.

Please do the righteous thing in every area of your life you won't regret it l promise.
Thank you, it was very good. You give us good perspectives on this story. It does amaze me that two men were able to go and kill all the men of the city. I couldn't say how badly they were afflicted. Today we get circumcised as babies. We don't remember any pain, and we are taken care of by our loving parents. We now have new insights to this story about Dinah. Thank you again
Dinah is copied from the Latin Diana/Greek Artemis. Her father is Zeus, another name for Jacob. The Greek Leto, Latin Latonia, Lycian Lada became Leah (darkness) the first wife of Jacob.
@@qw2ps4 There was a lot of copying, even from the Egyptians, Sumerians, Persians, and Hindus. One example is Mabog (winter) who is copied from the Hindu Maha Bhaga. You will find the Hindu/Persian Manticore in Isaiah 9.14-15. This is where Israel (summer) is described as having the head of a lion (Leo) and tail of a liar (Scorpio).
Jacob throughout Genesis was shown time and time again to be uncaring to much of his family, first in how he treated his brother Esau, and how he deceived his father, and also how he never really showed much love for any of his kids he had with Leah. So it’s unsurprising that he did nothing to help after his daughter was raped
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
One of most tragic events in the Bible. Uncontrolled anger, also plotting, and carrying out revenge doesn't get anyone anywhere, but leads to more serious problems in the end. The entire history of mankind is full of people doing this very thing. Only God, through His own son Jesus Christ, can save us from our sins and human frailties. Nothing else!
If this was the Calvary Chapel Solano w/Pastor Prudhomme~ his sermon 01/14 ~this was so excellent! Pastor Prudhomme “separated the bone from the marrow”! I’m certain many pastors do that all across the country but I have not heard one that good for quite awhile. You hit it out of the ballpark sir!
Reading this scripture had me very perplexed. I've been thinking on it all for a few days. There are so many lessons in this scripture. Thank you for giving some clarity. One question left: why did scripture say that Shechem was more honorable than the men in his family?
There are theories though, that the issue wasn't as cut and dried as being presented. It's possibly believed that Dinah's visits to the city were a regular occurrence. And that she and Shechem were actually lovers. His proposal to her was sincere, as demonstrated by his willingness to endure the circumcision rites. Dinah's brothers objected to their sister marrying to a foreign man, even a prince (sure, it was *their* land, but the principle remained). They used her circumstance as an excuse and opportunity to weaken and pillage pezzirites. And Jacob's concern wasn't for his daughter, or the death of innocent people. But how the incident would make him look bad. I bring this up, not to sully the story. But to remove pedestals and rose colored glasses. Removing the image of Dinah as an innocent maiden does nothing to lessen the impact of the story. Whether willing, or unwilling, the fornication was wrong. Plus it was with (presumably) a non-believer. Something forbidden by God. And though Simeon and Levi used the incident as an excuse to enact revenge, it was only that. An excuse. Remember, Jacob's family wasn't exactly the Salt of the Earth. Jacob himself was a schemer. Rachel, his favorite wife, stole her father's idols. And hid them under her camels saddle as the family left to find their own place to live. And let's not forget what Dinah's brothers did to their little brother Joseph. Pointing out these flaws doesn't lessen the story. It makes it more relatable. By making the characters more like you and me.
The problem is, you speculate motives of people removed by thousands of years from modern culture, which means the margin for error is astronomical. Dinah may have been involved with Shechem, but I very seriously doubt it. He had become infatuated with her and in my humble opinion, did rape her, and was also more than willing to marry the young girl. Satan knew the promise of Messiah was made to this exclusive line of humanity and probably thought if he violated the daughter [through someone under his influence], that he could destroy YHVH’s plans to redeem humanity. There is something far darker and more serious than simple teenage angst and romance here. Realizing the evil intention way beyond the scope of even something as foul as rape, Jacob and his some were righteously & rightfully incensed.
That's your interpretation, but Discernment given to us CHRISTIANS is by the power of God. Let me ask what would you do if a love one of yours was rape?
@@kiwiburciaga I will answer your question as a fellow christian with an equal; does the possiblity of Dinah being raped justify in your mind her brothers tricking Shechem and his people to perform the circumcision rites in order to murder all the men, capture the women as slaves, and plunder the city? Remember, Shechem was acting on good faith when he agreed to their terms. He was sincere in his wish to marry Dinah. It was her brothers who acted deceptively. The point I am making with this is not to disparage Dinah. It is to warn against the folly of placing the situation on a high pedestal, or view through rose-colored glasses. You should not assume that because story is written in the Bible, it should be held up as an example of right action. This is a pitfall that many fall into. Instead, read your Bible fully, and prayerfully. And understand there are many stories that tell the *wrong* way of resolving a conflict.
Except that it does not matter if Dinah needed to run errands in the city. He TOOK her. She did not give herself. He forced himself on her..Bad way to start any relationship. How could she ever respect him?
Bethel is two words of beth (house) and El (God aka Aries at spring equinox). El is from the twisted horns of the ram aka Zeus/Jupiter Amen. Amen can also be written as Amun, Amon, and Ammon. See depiction of Alexander as the ram head god. The 12 tribes (12 constellations) make up the wheel of Ezekiel aka the zodiac which is always turning. Shechem is the constellation Taurus and Dinah is the Virgo constellation. Levi is the band/bond of stars connecting the fishies in Pisces. Simeon is the southern fish.
I saw this as a movie several years ago. And it is also written in the Apocrypha/ Hidden books. If you have a Dollar General nearby there is another Awesome movie that's from the Apocrypha, called Risen. With Joseph Fiennes starring in it. An epic Biblical story of the Resurrection as told thru the eyes of an unbeliever. His task as a Tribune from Roman, is to hunt down the "body" of Jesus,post crucifixion,or perhaps Jesus Himself!!!
@@kennedyudoh9059 I just know I saw it about 8 yrs., ago on TBN, but it was a current movie. I will try to research it in the morning. Peace and Blessings.
Proverbs 31:8-9 in the Bible says, "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy". 
I consider revenge justified. If you can eliminate a threat before they can harm again that's God's way of saying "revenge is mine" by using the tools God provided on earth. For example, in this case of rape, do you allow the rapist to go unpunished on earth where their actions unchecked will most likely result in repeat behaviour? Or, are we misinterpreted what God said about revenge? I think what God was saying is that revenge needs to be equal, not used as a "punitive" example. If you kill my dog, do I kill yours back? No, that's not revenge because the other dog isn't guilty of the owners behavior. Revenge should be focused only on the perpetrator, not those guilty of association unless that association has conspired to be party to the crime.
Thankyou, 💜🙏🔥 Lord in this story lust on revenge has no Authority for what is ahead of me, where God has a plan and a purpose in what he wants me to give. All we need is his divine grace to continue what he has a sign me to continue his grace to live on his Amazing Plan. Amen 🙏🔥.
What a very powerful, selfish and deceitful story. One to learn from. God's will is ALWAYS THE BEST WAY... Many innocent men died in that village for selfish actions of one man forcing himself on a pure woman. Jacob's sons added evil upon evil instead of forgiveness and love for their fellowman. The true victims in this story are, Dinah, Jacob and the innocent men in the village that lost their lives in a brutal and vengeful manner. Grandma's Angel's
Its a stity that a bigger sin to avenge the original sin is still a sin that cannot be undone, whereas its better to have not sinnec but once done isnt undone by that of another
did someone see *"The Red Tent" movie?* (it's about Dinah and about "her's 2022 point of wiew'') All Christians *(who read the Bible)* should see that movie and be awaken for what's comming !
I always thought the worst part of the story was that Dinah's brothers objectified her even more than Shechem. Whether she was raped or not, Shechem loved her, would care for her, and give her children. After losing her virginity, a woman of that time would've had no other prospects. Her brothers didn't care. They used her as an object to fulfill their violence and bloodlust. She likely died a lonely, childless old maid because of them.
Lust is not love.. if shechem loved her,he would not have done what he did. However, I do get what you mean. There are lessons to be learnt from this story
before finding God's will we cannot love properly nor have strong faith... first is that we cannot love God nor our fellow neighbors rightousely.. or have Faith in God that we can overcome everything but the first step is to forgive everything and everyone in our lives.. no matter the deed that way we will also know that God forgives us too.. and we will receive the power to love through the spirit of God so we can over come every hill.. ultimately we will have a strong faith and Greed, Lust, Glutony, Envy, Jealousy, Anger and more will flee from us... Forgiveness will conquer all of them.. and we will be terrified to come to the dark places again
10:43 exactly why the Judge were made by Moses with the help of Jethro's wisdom. Romans 13:1 Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 1 Peter 2:13-14 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right.
How barbaric people use to be, and all for one woman. Wasn't enough they could have just took their sister back and left... no they had to take it out on everyone else who had nothing to do with it. This is much more than just a revenge case, it's a case of stupidity and a very stupid way of society to live. Stuff like this is how wars get started... humans can be wretched things.
i agree but you have to remember that 'woman' was their minor sister who was raped. Its tragic but if your sister was raped you would be filled with rage too.
(this means that we must NEVER allow the SPIRIT of lust to control and decide our actions) this...I dont know,because its like everyday i made mistake,so i've been thinking why im always commiting mistakes,,and then this qoute, the physical body is the manifestation of spiritual realm😑then, its like Im ponderd this today,
🕎 A spot lit story of unhinged lust,vengeance and non 👁️for 👁️ hysterical justice, resulting in patriarchal genocide. This tragic,specified narrative is rarely taught ,(that I can recall) in nearly 40 years of seeking🕯️.
When telling a story especially a story of the Bible you have to tell the whole truth of the story. You can't add or take away from the holy written word.
Totally, but respectfully disagree. I think the story is telling us how vile the sin of rape / molestation actually is. I think it is telling us that as a society, whatever society we are in, it is our duty to deal with our evil doers, lest we be judged and punished along with them. I think Jacob's sons were justified in smiting not only Shechem for his sins. They were right in smiting his father for not punishing his son. They were right to smite the men who would condone such a thing. Dinah was given the only fair justice she could be given; the knowledge that her rapist could never touch her or anyone ever again. That is what sexual deviants deserve.
The war against Troy was started over one case of abduction. Although it was voluntary, it was STILL abduction knowing the woman was already hitched to someone else. A matter of no thanks but you have to stay, would have prevented a war. It doesn't stop with just the guilty and never does, the innocent of many pays for it further down the road than we even realize. How would you like it if you got killed by a revenge case, knowing in those last moments you had nothing to do with it?
I agree with you but I also question her brother's reasons. I saw them doing this out of pride, not out of defending their sister. But maybe I'm just reluctant to turn a young woman's (who was probably still a child by today's standards) pain into some kind of fable to get a moral from. I can't even imagine what the rest of her life had been like. Her whole community knowing what was done to her, the horror she survived turned into a warning for other families' daughters, probably being gossiped about, people probably wondering if she had invited or wanted it, being rejected by other men because now she was ruined and defiled. Why do we need this woman's pain to know that rape is a disgusting, horrible thing to do to another person and should never be justified or excused? How would we feel if she was our sister? Or daughter? Would we want her used this way? We are just raping her memory.
I think they were right to kill Shechem but what about the innocent men who had nothing to do with it? I mean they literally took all the other women captive after killing their husbands. What do you think they intended to do with those women? I honestly respect them for caring about their sister and I am frustrated about Jacob's silence before. But they went a little too far.

It doesn't always go well for those people that have wronged me, I'm more grateful to The Lord for giving me the strength to forgive because when things go south in their life, I have a clear & peaceful conscious😇
Jesus Christ Loves Us All, Hallelujah, Amen❣️🙌
Can you kindly say a prayer for my self and family? My immediate family and siblings nieces and nephews are under attack from the enemy. Seems like something dark is trying to harm and separated the family. Please pray for my family once was full of joy, unity and humbleness. Thank you so much for your time and prayer 🙏 God bless you all.
🙏 prayers that the Lord bless and keep you protected!
Praying for you all. Remember Jesus came to bring the ⚔️ not peace. This may be a sign that it’s time y’all choose sides. Not meaning in a bad way. My family is going through this and because they won’t come together in love we are being bought together to mourn. Some of them are not willing to get it together because God has called and their heart are hardened. I made the decision to accept God’s offer and follow Christ. You do your part and continue to pray for them I will definitely keep y’all in our family’s prayer and please do the same for my family. Stay encouraged and fight the good fight. Blessings and prays to you and your family.
That is called a Family Curse..
And a Family Curse can only be put by some one with the same Blood of that Family..
Hence why it is called a Family Curse
You have to use your authority over the evil spirit and come against it. After you get rid of it loose the spirit of health and peace over him instead and submit your prayer to the Lord.
@@justelder6192 forgive my ignorance, I don't understand the theory of a "Family Curse". Who or what has the power to curse a family? Christian believers can pray for situations and for protection from the evil one. Lord bless and God Speed.
Revenge is best put away. God will do way more than we can. Amen
How to get back in Christ. I am ruined and see this was horrible. Please Satan trying to kill me and I wasn't SPIRITUALLY battling and now feel reprobate and sinful. In this world system. Please pray.
This is some powerful stuff and a great message. Hopefully I remember this if ever there comes a day where I feel the need to seek vengeance. There's nothing I hate more than evil going unpunished. I just have to put my trust in God that He will be the one to carry out the retribution.
I'm the same way. I have a difficult time forgiving anyone who does extreme evil to me or anyone close to me... I'm very fair just not very merciful. I can admit this...
Could have taken words out my mouth I am also very fair and kind but not merciful at all when I believe something is evil
@@whitneybentakadongo6248 it's too difficult to show mercy to an evil person...
I hate it when evil triumphs over good
@@whitneybentakadongo6248 If you knew Jesus you would be merciful, and you wouldn't be so quick to say "I'm fair and kind"
Remember from where you come from, repent and stick to Jesus who said : "If you don't forgive men their offenses, your Father in Heaven will NOT forgive you your offenses either."
Get to know Him, get to hear HIS VOICE!
The TRUTH set us free.Amen

After Jacob's son's betrayal of Joseph, we see that, one by one, each one of the brothers as not being worthy of the birth right. This also included Dinah as Jacob could have given her to a worthy man in marriage and then adopted her son as his heir. But Shechem's actions ended this possibility. Only when Judah offered up his own life, to protect Joseph's Brother Benjamin, would Jacob find his true heir. But even then that road to maturity, for Judah, was not a pretty one, but one full of the grace of God.
Dinah is copied from the Latin Diana/Greek Artemis. Her father is Zeus, another name for Jacob. The Greek Leto, Latin Latonia, Lycian Lada became Leah (darkness) the first wife of Jacob.

Jacob was deceitful and deceit continued through the generations. Shechem was horrible but the fact that Dinahs brothers killed a whole city was terrible. So much evil. So sad. There are always consequences for our wrong choices. Shechems whole family died or were taken captive because of what he did but Jacob's sons and future generations also paid the consequences for their actions too.
Sometimes it's possible to take your heartfelt feelings too far. It can be very intense and too much for people who are not familiar with your Lord.

I read this chapter on Monday and I still want to understand the story but never get to understand ,Until today thank you
Thank you, it was very good. You give us good perspectives on this story. It does amaze me that two men were able to go and kill all the men of the city. I couldn't say how badly they were afflicted. Today we get circumcised as babies. We don't remember any pain, and we are taken care of by our loving parents. We now have new insights to this story about Dinah. Thank you again

There was a lot of copying, even from the Egyptians, Sumerians, Persians, and Hindus. One example is Mabog (winter) who is copied from the Hindu Maha Bhaga. You will find the Hindu/Persian Manticore in Isaiah 9.14-15. This is where Israel (summer) is described as having the head of a lion (Leo) and tail of a liar (Scorpio).
I'm alarmed that her brothers cared more about Dinah getting violated than her own father Jacob did.
Jacob throughout Genesis was shown time and time again to be uncaring to much of his family, first in how he treated his brother Esau, and how he deceived his father, and also how he never really showed much love for any of his kids he had with Leah. So it’s unsurprising that he did nothing to help after his daughter was raped
@@jared9915keep quiet
Wow! Superbly told story! Thanks!
Wow, good lessons. Thank you 🙏😇

I find an interesting takeaway from this that is as true now as it was then: Never mess with a girl who has brothers.
The girl is unlucky if the perpetrators are her brothers
Such a beautiful reflection. ❤️
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Amen. Glory to God the highest. Grant Peace on earth.
One of most tragic events in the Bible. Uncontrolled anger, also plotting, and carrying out revenge doesn't get anyone anywhere, but leads to more serious problems in the end. The entire history of mankind is full of people doing this very thing. Only God, through His own son Jesus Christ, can save us from our sins and human frailties. Nothing else!
ThankYou so much

Reading this scripture had me very perplexed. I've been thinking on it all for a few days. There are so many lessons in this scripture. Thank you for giving some clarity. One question left: why did scripture say that Shechem was more honorable than the men in his family?

Thank you❤✝️
There are theories though, that the issue wasn't as cut and dried as being presented. It's possibly believed that Dinah's visits to the city were a regular occurrence. And that she and Shechem were actually lovers. His proposal to her was sincere, as demonstrated by his willingness to endure the circumcision rites. Dinah's brothers objected to their sister marrying to a foreign man, even a prince (sure, it was *their* land, but the principle remained). They used her circumstance as an excuse and opportunity to weaken and pillage pezzirites. And Jacob's concern wasn't for his daughter, or the death of innocent people. But how the incident would make him look bad.
I bring this up, not to sully the story. But to remove pedestals and rose colored glasses. Removing the image of Dinah as an innocent maiden does nothing to lessen the impact of the story. Whether willing, or unwilling, the fornication was wrong. Plus it was with (presumably) a non-believer. Something forbidden by God. And though Simeon and Levi used the incident as an excuse to enact revenge, it was only that. An excuse.
Remember, Jacob's family wasn't exactly the Salt of the Earth. Jacob himself was a schemer. Rachel, his favorite wife, stole her father's idols. And hid them under her camels saddle as the family left to find their own place to live. And let's not forget what Dinah's brothers did to their little brother Joseph.
Pointing out these flaws doesn't lessen the story. It makes it more relatable. By making the characters more like you and me.
Always love to see comments such as this.
The problem is, you speculate motives of people removed by thousands of years from modern culture, which means the margin for error is astronomical. Dinah may have been involved with Shechem, but I very seriously doubt it. He had become infatuated with her and in my humble opinion, did rape her, and was also more than willing to marry the young girl. Satan knew the promise of Messiah was made to this exclusive line of humanity and probably thought if he violated the daughter [through someone under his influence], that he could destroy YHVH’s plans to redeem humanity. There is something far darker and more serious than simple teenage angst and romance here. Realizing the evil intention way beyond the scope of even something as foul as rape, Jacob and his some were righteously & rightfully incensed.
That's your interpretation, but Discernment given to us CHRISTIANS is by the power of God.
Let me ask what would you do if a love one of yours was rape?
@@kiwiburciaga I will answer your question as a fellow christian with an equal; does the possiblity of Dinah being raped justify in your mind her brothers tricking Shechem and his people to perform the circumcision rites in order to murder all the men, capture the women as slaves, and plunder the city? Remember, Shechem was acting on good faith when he agreed to their terms. He was sincere in his wish to marry Dinah. It was her brothers who acted deceptively.
The point I am making with this is not to disparage Dinah. It is to warn against the folly of placing the situation on a high pedestal, or view through rose-colored glasses. You should not assume that because story is written in the Bible, it should be held up as an example of right action. This is a pitfall that many fall into. Instead, read your Bible fully, and prayerfully. And understand there are many stories that tell the *wrong* way of resolving a conflict.
Except that it does not matter if Dinah needed to run errands in the city. He TOOK her. She did not give herself. He forced himself on her..Bad way to start any relationship. How could she ever respect him?

If you have a Dollar General nearby there is another Awesome movie that's from the Apocrypha, called Risen. With Joseph Fiennes starring in it.

Thank you Jesus🙏🏾
This is what I need.
I consider revenge justified. If you can eliminate a threat before they can harm again that's God's way of saying "revenge is mine" by using the tools God provided on earth. For example, in this case of rape, do you allow the rapist to go unpunished on earth where their actions unchecked will most likely result in repeat behaviour? Or, are we misinterpreted what God said about revenge? I think what God was saying is that revenge needs to be equal, not used as a "punitive" example.
If you kill my dog, do I kill yours back? No, that's not revenge because the other dog isn't guilty of the owners behavior. Revenge should be focused only on the perpetrator, not those guilty of association unless that association has conspired to be party to the crime.
Thankyou, 💜🙏🔥 Lord in this story lust on revenge has no Authority for what is ahead of me, where God has a plan and a purpose in what he wants me to give. All we need is his divine grace to continue what he has a sign me to continue his grace to live on his Amazing Plan. Amen 🙏🔥.
This is awesome.. wonderful.. I'm blessed by this fact..thanks..
What a great story rarely discussed
What a very powerful, selfish and deceitful story. One to learn from. God's will is ALWAYS THE BEST WAY... Many innocent men died in that village for selfish actions of one man forcing himself on a pure woman. Jacob's sons added evil upon evil instead of forgiveness and love for their fellowman. The true victims in this story are, Dinah, Jacob and the innocent men in the village that lost their lives in a brutal and vengeful manner. Grandma's Angel's
wow.. i m glad i didn’t execute the revenges i had in mind. thank God for restraint 🙏
🙏. That was an inspiring lesson for all true Christian.
Ouch!
Its a stity that a bigger sin to avenge the original sin is still a sin that cannot be undone, whereas its better to have not sinnec but once done isnt undone by that of another
I like it, thanks.

I always thought the worst part of the story was that Dinah's brothers objectified her even more than Shechem. Whether she was raped or not, Shechem loved her, would care for her, and give her children. After losing her virginity, a woman of that time would've had no other prospects. Her brothers didn't care. They used her as an object to fulfill their violence and bloodlust. She likely died a lonely, childless old maid because of them.
Whoa! I didn't think about that. Probably explains why Dinah isn't mentioned again in the Bible.
Lust is not love.. if shechem loved her,he would not have done what he did. However, I do get what you mean. There are lessons to be learnt from this story

@@estajeanette7487 how do you know that
Katam. I said 'people said'. I heard people say it. But I am not sure.
before finding God's will we cannot love properly nor have strong faith...
first is that we cannot love God nor our fellow neighbors rightousely..
or have Faith in God that we can overcome everything
but the first step is to forgive everything and everyone in our lives.. no matter the deed
that way we will also know that God forgives us too.. and we will receive the power to love
through the spirit of God so we can over come every hill.. ultimately we will have a strong faith
and Greed, Lust, Glutony, Envy, Jealousy, Anger and more will flee from us... Forgiveness will
conquer all of them.. and we will be terrified to come to the dark places again

How barbaric people use to be, and all for one woman. Wasn't enough they could have just took their sister back and left... no they had to take it out on everyone else who had nothing to do with it. This is much more than just a revenge case, it's a case of stupidity and a very stupid way of society to live. Stuff like this is how wars get started... humans can be wretched things.
Right
I agree
Maybe it's a top of the line woman.
Society is still barbaric and every woman isn't the same.
i agree but you have to remember that 'woman' was their minor sister who was raped. Its tragic but if your sister was raped you would be filled with rage too.

🕎 A spot lit story of unhinged lust,vengeance and non 👁️for 👁️ hysterical justice, resulting in patriarchal genocide.
This tragic,specified narrative is rarely taught ,(that I can recall) in nearly 40 years of seeking🕯️.
When telling a story especially a story of the Bible you have to tell the whole truth of the story. You can't add or take away from the holy written word.
Totally, but respectfully disagree. I think the story is telling us how vile the sin of rape / molestation actually is. I think it is telling us that as a society, whatever society we are in, it is our duty to deal with our evil doers, lest we be judged and punished along with them. I think Jacob's sons were justified in smiting not only Shechem for his sins. They were right in smiting his father for not punishing his son. They were right to smite the men who would condone such a thing. Dinah was given the only fair justice she could be given; the knowledge that her rapist could never touch her or anyone ever again. That is what sexual deviants deserve.
The war against Troy was started over one case of abduction. Although it was voluntary, it was STILL abduction knowing the woman was already hitched to someone else. A matter of no thanks but you have to stay, would have prevented a war. It doesn't stop with just the guilty and never does, the innocent of many pays for it further down the road than we even realize. How would you like it if you got killed by a revenge case, knowing in those last moments you had nothing to do with it?
I agree with you but I also question her brother's reasons. I saw them doing this out of pride, not out of defending their sister. But maybe I'm just reluctant to turn a young woman's (who was probably still a child by today's standards) pain into some kind of fable to get a moral from. I can't even imagine what the rest of her life had been like. Her whole community knowing what was done to her, the horror she survived turned into a warning for other families' daughters, probably being gossiped about, people probably wondering if she had invited or wanted it, being rejected by other men because now she was ruined and defiled. Why do we need this woman's pain to know that rape is a disgusting, horrible thing to do to another person and should never be justified or excused? How would we feel if she was our sister? Or daughter? Would we want her used this way? We are just raping her memory.
I think they were right to kill Shechem but what about the innocent men who had nothing to do with it? I mean they literally took all the other women captive after killing their husbands. What do you think they intended to do with those women? I honestly respect them for caring about their sister and I am frustrated about Jacob's silence before. But they went a little too far.
