Genesis 34 - The Rape or Marriage of Dinah & the Weaponization of Circumcision

  • Summary

  • Genesis 34 has one of the most interesting narratives in the book of Genesis.

    This chapter acts an as etiology for Israel's relationship to the people of Shechem (which becomes a really important area in the 2nd Temple Period) and the personality of the various tribes (specifically Simeon and Levi).

    This chapter also includes a notable scene with one of Jacob's daughters: Dinah. Interpretation varies as to whether this is a rape or a controlling intervention by her brothers, but sexual uncertainty pervades the essence of the chapter.
