Bible Note: Perhaps Dinah was raped. Horrible. How dare Shechem come to buy her, after imposing violence on her. Soft words are not enough. Still, his willingness to be circumcised is moving (I have one friend who experienced that as an adult... it wasn't pleasant, even with todays medicine. Can you imagine...?) You suggested that "It seems that you exact a greater obligation on Jacob than you do on the pagans!" This is true. As does our Maker. The more we know, the more accountable we are, no? We are to share the grace we have received. Peace. PS -- I like the connection between Levi's scattered curse/blessing and the eventual priestly role of the tribe of Levi, scattered among the other tribes. Thanks for pointing that out. What an amazing book. |
