What the Bible says about Hamor Negotiates with Jacob
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Genesis 34:5-6 We do not know what Jacob thought at this point, for he kept silent. His only daughter had been raped and was now held "captive." A thousand things must have gone through his head, yet he said nothing. In light of this, it is interesting to consider how the dynamics of Jacob's life have changed: Now he "kept his peace" until the sons came home. Hamor and Shechem soon visit Jacob to speak to him. That the princes of the land humbled themselves to go to the tents of the nomadic visitors implies that at least Hamor knew that a wrong had been committed. Bible commentator Adam Clarke feels that Hamor did not have enough people to overwhelm Jacob's entourage, and thus he had to negotiate. Mike Ford The Rape of Dinah Related Topics: Rape of Dinah
