Bible Question: What scripture tells how pretty Dinah was? |
Bible Answer: Genesis 34, which details the rape of Dinah, does not address her appearance. We can deduce from verse 2 that she must have been, by the standards of that day, breathtakingly beautiful. When Dinah "went out to visit the daughters of the land," she left the security of her home. This might suggest that she was somewhat coquettish or even promiscuous. But its the reaction of Shechem, son of Hamor, that leads us to conclude that she must have been attractive. In verse 2, Shechem raped her violently on impulse, and then in verse 3, the Bible says, "being strongly drawn to Dinah, daughter of Jacob, and in love with the maiden." The 3 expressions of affection; "drawn"..."love"..."spoke" underscore Shechem's feelings after the deed. He is hopelessly enamored of Dinah. |
