Today' Daily Words (Honor, Defiled and Value)- Dinah brothers loved, honor and value their sister, and this is why they took revenge on man.
Berĕshith (Genesis) 34:1-2, 5, 7, 13, 15, 21-22, 25, 30-31 TS2009
[1] And Dinah, the daughter of Lĕ’ah, whom she had borne to Ya‛aqoḇ, went out to see the daughters of the land. [2] And Sheḵem, son of Ḥamor the Ḥiwwite, prince of the land, saw her and took her and lay with her, and humbled her.
[5] And Ya‛aqoḇ heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter. Now his sons were with his livestock in the field, so Ya‛aqoḇ kept silent until they came.
[7] And the sons of Ya‛aqoḇ came in from the field when they heard it. And the men were grieved and very wroth, because he had done a senseless deed in Yisra’ĕl by lying with Ya‛aqoḇ’s daughter, which should not be done.
[13] But the sons of Ya‛aqoḇ answered Sheḵem and Ḥamor his father, and spoke with deceit, because he had defiled Dinah their sister.
[15] Only on this condition would we agree to you: If you become as we are, to have every male of you circumcised,
[22 “Only on this condition would the men agree to dwell with us, to be one people: if every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised.
[25] And it came to be on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Ya‛aqoḇ, Shim‛on and Lĕwi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword and came boldly upon the city and killed all the males.
[30] And Ya‛aqoḇ said to Shim‛on and Lĕwi, “You have troubled me by making me a stench among the inhabitants of the land, among the Kena‛anites and the Perizzites. And I am few in number, they shall gather themselves against me and shall strike me, and I shall be destroyed, my household and I.” [31] But they said, “Should he treat our sister like a whore?”
