Overview

Discover the profound and sobering lessons of Genesis Chapter 34 with this comprehensive study of “The Dinah Incident.” This lesson package explores one of the most difficult chapters in the Torah, examining the high cost of social compromise, the dangers of worldly assimilation, and the difference between righteous justice and destructive revenge.

In this study, we analyze the movements of Jacob’s household as they encounter the city-state of Shechem. We witness the tragic violation of Dinah and the subsequent choice of her brothers, Simeon and Levi, to use a holy covenant sign as a weapon of war. This material is designed to help students understand why God demanded distinctiveness for the nation of Israel and how these ancient events shaped the tribal history of the Jewish people.
