Conclusion of Dinah Gets Into Trouble

Sure enough, Di'nah got into trouble.  One day when Di'nah came on a visit, She'chem took Di'nah and forced her to lie down with him. This was wrong, because only married men  and women are supposed to lie down together. This bad think that She'chem did to Di'nah led to a lot more trouble.

When  Di'nah's brothers heard about what happened, they were angry.  Two of them, Sim'e-on and Le'vi, were so angry that they took swords and went into the city and caught the men by surprise. They and their brothers killed She'chem and all the other men, Jacob was angry because his sons did this bad thing.

How did all this trouble get started?  It was Di'nah made friends with people who did not obey God's Laws. We will not want to make such friends, will we?

Genesis 34:1-31.
