Genesis, 34

1. Dinah, who was Jacob's daughter by Leah, went out to visit some of the women of that region.

1. Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the land;

2. Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, headman of the region, saw her, seized her and forced her to sleep with him.

2. and when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her, he seized her and lay with her and humbled her.

3. He was captivated by Dinah daughter of Jacob; he fell in love with the girl and tried to win her heart.

3. And his soul was drawn to Dinah the daughter of Jacob; he loved the maiden and spoke tenderly to her.

4. Accordingly Shechem said to his father Hamor, 'Get me this girl; I want to marry her.'

4. So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, "Get me this maiden for my wife."

5. Meanwhile, Jacob had heard how his daughter Dinah had been dishonoured, but since his sons were out in the countryside with his livestock, Jacob said nothing until they came back.

5. Now Jacob heard that he had defiled his daughter Dinah; but his sons were with his cattle in the field, so Jacob held his peace until they came.

6. Hamor father of Shechem was visiting Jacob to discuss the matter with him,

6. And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.

7. when Jacob's sons returned from the countryside and heard the news; the men were outraged and infuriated that Shechem had insulted Israel by sleeping with Jacob's daughter -- a thing totally unacceptable.

7. The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard of it; and the men were indignant and very angry, because he had wrought folly in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, for such a thing ought not to be done.

8. Hamor reasoned with them as follows, 'My son Shechem's heart is set on your daughter. Please allow her to marry him.

8. But Hamor spoke with them, saying, "The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter; I pray you, give her to him in marriage.

9. Intermarry with us; give us your daughters and take our daughters for yourselves.

9. Make marriages with us; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.

10. We can live together, and the country will be open to you, for you to live in, and move about in, and acquire holdings.'

10. You shall dwell with us; and the land shall be open to you; dwell and trade in it, and get property in it."

11. Then Shechem addressed the girl's father and brothers, 'Grant me this favour, and I will give you whatever you ask.

11. Shechem also said to her father and to her brothers, "Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I will give.

12. Demand as high a bride-price from me as you please, and I will pay as much as you ask. Only let me marry the girl.'

12. Ask of me ever so much as marriage present and gift, and I will give according as you say to me; only give me the maiden to be my wife."

13. Jacob's sons gave Shechem and his father Hamor a crafty answer, speaking as they did because he had dishonoured their sister Dinah.

13. The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father Hamor deceitfully, because he had defiled their sister Dinah.

14. 'We cannot do this,' they said to them. 'To give our sister to an uncircumcised man would be a disgrace for us.

14. They said to them, "We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a disgrace to us.

15. We can agree only on one condition: that you become like us by circumcising all your males.

15. Only on this condition will we consent to you: that you will become as we are and every male of you be circumcised.

16. Then we will give you our daughters, taking yours for ourselves; and we will stay with you to make one nation.

16. Then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to ourselves, and we will dwell with you and become one people.

17. But if you will not agree to our terms about being circumcised, we shall take our daughter and go.'

17. But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter, and we will be gone."

18. Hamor and Shechem son of Hamor were pleased with what they heard.

18. Their words pleased Hamor and Hamor's son Shechem.

19. The young man did not hesitate about doing this, for he was deeply in love with Jacob's daughter. Moreover he was the most respected member of his entire family.

19. And the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter. Now he was the most honored of all his family.

20. Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their town and spoke to their fellow-townsmen as follows,

20. So Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city and spoke to the men of their city, saying,

21. 'These men are friendly; let them settle in the region and move about freely in it; there is plenty of room here for them; we shall marry their daughters and give our daughters to them.

21. "These men are friendly with us; let them dwell in the land and trade in it, for behold, the land is large enough for them; let us take their daughters in marriage, and let us give them our daughters.

22. But these men will agree to settle with us and become a single nation only on this condition: that all our males be circumcised like them.

22. Only on this condition will the men agree to dwell with us, to become one people: that every male among us be circumcised as they are circumcised.

23. Will not the livestock they own, all their animals, become ours? Then let us give our assent to this, so that they can settle with us.'

23. Will not their cattle, their property and all their beasts be ours? Only let us agree with them, and they will dwell with us."

24. All the citizens of the town agreed to the proposal made by Hamor and his son Shechem, and all the males were circumcised.

24. And all who went out of the gate of his city hearkened to Hamor and his son Shechem; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.

25. Now on the third day, when the men were still in pain, Jacob's two sons Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword and advanced unopposed against the town and slaughtered all the males.

25. On the third day, when they were sore, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and came upon the city unawares, and killed all the males.

26. They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the sword, removed Dinah from Shechem's house and came away.

26. They slew Hamor and his son Shechem with the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went away.

27. When Jacob's other sons came on the slain, they pillaged the town in reprisal for the dishonouring of their sister.

27. And the sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because their sister had been defiled;

28. They seized their flocks, cattle, donkeys, everything else in the town and in the countryside,

28. they took their flocks and their herds, their asses, and whatever was in the city and in the field;

29. and all their possessions. They took all their children and wives captive and looted everything to be found in the houses.

29. all their wealth, all their little ones and their wives, all that was in the houses, they captured and made their prey.

30. Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, 'You have done me an ill turn by bringing me into bad odour with the people of the region, the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I have few men, whereas they will unite against me to defeat me and destroy me and my family.'

30. Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have brought trouble on me by making me odious to the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the Per'izzites; my numbers are few, and if they gather themselves against me and attack me, I shall be destroyed, both I and my household."

31. They retorted, 'Should our sister be treated like a whore?'

31. But they said, "Should he treat our sister as a harlot?"

Alaviitteet:

34:1-2 - Se, että Sichem loukkaa Dinaa, paljastaa perheen kunnian ja nuhteettomuuden haurauden. Tämä korostaa suojelun ja huolenpidon tarvetta perheen sisällä ja synnin seurausten vakavuutta (ks. myös 1. Kor. 15:33 ja Sananlaskut 4:23).

34:3-7 - Sichem ilmaisee rakkautensa Dinahia kohtaan ja haluaa mennä naimisiin hänen kanssaan, mutta hänen alun häpeälliset tekonsa monimutkaistavat asioita. Kerronta korostaa kunnian ja kunnioituksen merkitystä ihmissuhteissa, erityisesti perheen sisällä (ks. myös Ef. 5:25 ja Kolossalaiskirje 3:19).

34:8-17 - Sikemin ehdotus mennä naimisiin Dinahin hyväksytään sillä ehdolla, että kaikki hänen kaupunkinsa miehet ympärileikataan. Tämä kuvastaa yhtenäisyyden halua, mutta se paljastaa myös manipuloinnin ja petoksen herkissä tilanteissa (ks. myös Matteus 7:12 ja Room. 12:17).

34:18-24 - Simeonin ja Leevin suunnitelma kostaa Dinahin häpeä korostaa synnin seurausten vakavuutta ja oikeudenmukaisuuden tavoittelua. Tämä kertomus muistuttaa meitä tarpeesta etsiä oikeudenmukaisia, ei reagoivia ratkaisuja (ks. myös Psalmi 37:8 ja Jaakob 1:19-20).

34:25-31 - Simeonin ja Levin kosto johtaa perheelle vakavaan tilanteeseen. Kerronta korostaa, kuinka väkivalta synnyttää lisää väkivaltaa ja kuinka todellista oikeutta on etsittävä sopusoinnussa Jumalan tahdon kanssa (ks. myös Gal. 6:7-8 ja Room. 12:21).

Aiheeseen liittyvät säkeet Genesis, 34:

Mooseksen kirjan luvussa 34 kerrotaan Dinan tapauksesta Sikemissa. Mitkä ovat väkivallan ja koston seuraukset? Tämä huolestuttava teksti kertoo Dinahin raiskauksesta, Sikemin avioliittoehdotuksesta ja Jaakobin poikien raa'asta kostosta. Luvussa käsitellään sellaisia teemoja kuin perheen kunnia, seksuaalinen väkivalta, petos ja impulsiivisten toimien seuraukset. Mooseksen kirja 34 paljastaa moraaliset monimutkaisuudet ja vaarat, joita Jaakobin perhe kohtaa. Harkitse kanssamme viittä raamatullista kohtaa, jotka liittyvät tämän voimakkaan luvun haastaviin teemoihin.

Psalmit 11:5: "Herra koettelee vanhurskaita, mutta jumalatonta ja väkivaltaa rakastavia hänen sielunsa vihaa." - Tämä psalmi kuvastaa jumalallista tuomiota väkivallasta, kuten 1. Mooseksen kirjan luvussa 34.

Roomalaisille 12:19: "Älä kosta, rakkaani, vaan jätä vihasi Jumalalle, sillä kirjoitettu on: 'Kosto on minun; Minä maksan, sanoo Herra." - Tämä säe on ristiriidassa Jaakobin poikien 1. Mooseksen kirjan luvussa 34 suorittaman koston kanssa.

Sananlaskut 29:22: "Vihainen mies herättää riitoja, ja raivoissaan mies tekee monia rikkomuksia." - Tämä sananlasku heijastaa Simeonin ja Levin impulsiivista ja väkivaltaista toimintaa 1. Mooseksen luvussa 34.

Jaakob 1:20: "Koska ihmisen viha ei tuota Jumalan vanhurskautta." - Tämä jae liittyy Jaakobin poikien koston kielteisiin seurauksiin Mooseksen kirjan luvussa 34.

Galatalaiskirje 5:23: "Näitä asioita vastaan ei ole lakia." - Tämä jae, jossa luetellaan Hengen hedelmät, on ristiriidassa 1. Mooseksen kirjan luvussa 34 osoitetun itsehillinnän puutteen kanssa.
