What the Bible says about Shechem's Crime Against Israel
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Genesis 34:7 Jacob was not known as Israel ("Prince with God") at this point, nor his people, so though the text says that Shechem "had done a disgraceful thing in Israel," a more literal translation would be "against Israel." Thus, this crime against Dinah was also against Jacob; it was an offense to the Prince of God. No small thing! Mike Ford The Rape of Dinah Related Topics: Shechem
