You're listening to the Dope Daily Audio Bible, and I'm your guy, pastor Charlie Mitchell, and today we're looking at Genesis chapter 34. Let's roll. Leah's daughter, Dina, whom Leah, Bo Jacob went out to see some of the young women of the area when she son of Hammer, the Hitite, who was the region's chieftain, saw her. He took her and raped her. He became infatuated with Jacob's daughter Dina. He loved the young girl and spoke tenderly to her. get me this girl as a wife. He told his father. Jacob heard that Shechem had defiled his daughter, Dina, but since his sons were with his livestock in the field, he remained silent until they returned. Meanwhile, Shechem's Father Hammer came to speak with Jacob. Jacob's sons returned from the field. When they heard about the incident, they were deeply grieved and very angry for Shechem. Had committed an outrage against Israel by raping Jacob's daughter, and such a thing should not be done. Hammer, said to Jacob's Sons, my son Shaham has his heart set on your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife. Intermarry with us. Give your daughters to us and take our daughters for yourselves. Live with us. The land is before you settle here, move about and acquire property in it. Then Shechem said to Dinah's father and brothers, grant me this favor and I'll give you whatever you say, demand of me, a high compensation and gift. I'll give you whatever you ask. Give me the girl to be my wife. But Jacob's sons answered Shechem and his father Hammer deceitfully because he had defiled their sister, Dina, we can't do this thing. They said to them, giving our sister to an uncircumcised man is a disgrace to us. We will agree to you only on this condition. If all your males are circumcised as we are, then we will give you our daughters. Take your daughters for ourselves, live with you and become one people. But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughters and go. The word seemed good to hammer and his son, check them. The young man did not delay doing this because he was delighted with Jacob's daughter. now he was the most important in all his father's family. So him and the son Shaham went to the gate of their city and spoke to the men of their city. These men are peaceful toward us. They said, let them live in our land and move about in it. For indeed, the region is large enough for them. Let them take their daughters as our wives and give our daughters to them. But the men will agree to live with us and be one people only on this condition. If all our men are circumcised as they are, won't. Their livestock, their possessions, and all their animals become ours only. Let's agree with this and they will live with us. all the men who had come to the city. Gates, listened to Hammer and his son Shaham, And all these men were circumcised on the third day when they were still in pain. Two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Donna's brothers, took their swords, went to the unsuspecting city, and killed every male. They killed. Hammer and his son, check them with their swords. Took Donna from she's house and went away. Jacob's sons came to the slaughter and plundered the city because their sister had been defiled. They took their flocks, herds, donkeys, and whatever was in the city and in the field. They captured all their possessions, dependents, and wives, and plundered everything in their houses. Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, You have brought trouble on me making me odious to the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the parasites. we are few in number. If they unite against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed. But they answered should he treat our sister like a prostitute. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, the story that we just read In Genesis, chapter 34 is heavy and it's disturbing. This story is filled with pain. It's filled with injustice. It's filled with revenge, and. What we learn about you, what we learn about the scriptures is you do not turn away from our mess. You see, every wound, you hear, every tear that we cry, you hold every broken peace and you know it. So, Lord, I pray that you would teach us to weep with those who have been wronged, to seek justice without being consumed by rage, but also to trust that you are still holy in a world that thinks you have totally forgotten. So, Lord, I pray that you would help us to live with courage, compassion, but Lord give us wisdom to navigate complex, delicate, and destructive issues. We pray all of this in Jesus' name. Amen.
