Genesis 30:21

Genesis 34:12

(judged, acquitted), the daughter of Jacob by Leah (Genesis 30:21). She accompanied her father from Mesopotamia to Canaan and, having ventured among the inhabitants, was violated by Shechem the son of Hamor, the chieftain of the territory in which her father had settled. Shechem proposed to make the usual reparation by paying a sum to the father and marrying her (Genesis 34:12). This proposal was accepted, the sons of Jacob demanding, as a condition of the proposed union, the circumcision of the Shechemites. They therefore assented, and on the third day, when the pain and fever resulting from the operation were at the highest, Simeon and Levi, brothers of Dinah, attacked them unexpectedly, slew all the males, and plundered their city.
