Vengeance and Plunder
Genesis 34:25-29
25
Three days later, while they were still in pain, two of Jacob’s sons (Dinah’s brothers Simeon and Levi) took their swords, went into the unsuspecting city, and slaughtered every male.
26
They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords, took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.
27
Jacob’s other sons came upon the slaughter and looted the city, because their sister had been defiled.
28
They took their flocks and herds and donkeys, and everything else in the city or in the field.
29
They carried off all their possessions and women and children, and they plundered everything in their houses.
