Genesis 34:27
Compare all
25 Now it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Jacob, aSimeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword and came boldly upon the city and killed all the males.  
26 And they akilled Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah from Shechem’s house, and went out.  
27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because their sister had been defiled.
28 They took their sheep, their oxen, and their donkeys, what was in the city and what was in the field,
29 and all their wealth. All their little ones and their wives they took captive; and they plundered even all that was in the houses.
30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, a“You have btroubled me cby making me obnoxious among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; dand since I am few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and kill me. I shall be destroyed, my household and I.”  
31 But they said, “Should he treat our sister like a harlot?”

Genesis 34:27

The sons of Jacob - The rest of Jacob' s sons, the remaining brothers of Simeon and Levi, spoiled the city. Though the others could slay the defenceless males, it was not likely that they could have carried away all the booty, with the women, children, and cattle; it is therefore most natural to suppose that the rest of the sons of Jacob assisted at last in the business.
