NASB | Genesis 34:31 But they said, "Should he treat our sister as a harlot?" |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 34:31 But they said, "Should he [be permitted to] treat our sister as a prostitute?" |
Subject: Rape, Circumcission, Slaughter. |
Bible Note: Jacob's reaction to the slaughter. Thank you for pointing me to Genesis 49:5. While this is Jacob's last words to his sons, this doesn't actually seem to be a blessing. He rejects their council and company, and curses their anger, and "divides" and "scatters" them. The reason for this hard treatment seems to be their violence. Any thoughts? JRM |
