Dinah: Judged; vindicated, daughter of Jacob by Leah, and sister of Simeon
and Levi
(Genesis 30:21) She was seduced by Shechem, the son of Hamor, the
Hivite chief, when Jacob's camp was in the neighbourhood of Shechem.
This led to the terrible revenge of Simeon and Levi in putting the
Shechemites to death
(Genesis 34:1)ff Jacob makes frequent reference to
this deed of blood with abhorrence and regret
(Genesis 34:30; 49:5-7) She is
mentioned among the rest of Jacob's family that went down into Egypt
(Genesis 46:8,15)
