John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 34:7

Verse 7 7.And the sons of Jacob came out of the field. Moses begins to relate the tragic issue of this history. Shechem, indeed, had acted wickedly and impiously; but it was far more atrocious and wicked that the sons of Jacob should murder a whole people, to avenge themselves of the private fault of one man. It was by no means fitting to seek a cruel compensation for the levity and rashness of one youth, by the slaughter of so many men. Again, who had constituted them judges, that they should... read more

Verse 8 8.And Hamor communed with them. Though the sons of Jacob were justly incensed, yet their indignation ought to have been appeased, or at least somewhat mitigated, by the great courteousness of Hamor. And if the humanity of Hamor could not reconcile the sons of Jacob to Shechem, the old man himself was indeed worthy of a benignant reception. We see what equitable conditions he offers; he himself was the prince of the city, the sons of Jacob were strangers. Therefore their minds must have... read more

The tragedy at Shechem. I. DINAH AND SHECHEM . 1. A young girl ' s indiscretion . "Dinah went out to see the daughters of the land." If Dinah's object was to witness the manners of the people, she was guilty of objectionable curiosity; if to exhibit herself, of distressing vanity; if to mingle in their entertainments, of improper levity; and for all these reasons, considering the character of the family to which she belonged, and the wickedness of the people with whom... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 34:1-31

Good out of evil. The whole of this miserable story has its place in the development of the kingdom of God. No alliance can be true and safe which is not upon the foundation of the Divine covenants. Circumcision without faith is a mere carnal ordinance, working evil. The sin of Shechem was avenged, but it was avenged by the commission of a greater sin by Simeon and Levi. It was not thus that the kingdom of God was to be spread. "Ye have troubled me," Jacob said. And so have all worldly... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 34:6

And (meantime) Hamor the father of Shechem went out —accompanied by Shechem ( Genesis 34:11 )— unto Jacob —who was encamped in the outskirts of the city ( Genesis 33:18 )— to commune with him concerning Dinah's marriage with his son. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 34:7

And the sons of Jacob ( i.e. Leah's children, Dinah's full brothers, for certain, though perhaps also her half brothers) came out of the field when they heard it (Jacob having probably sent them word): and the men were grieved ,—literally, grieved themselves, or became pained with anger, the verb being the hithpael of צָעַב , to toil or labor with pain. The LXX . connect this with the preceding clause, ὡς δὲ ἤκουσαν , κατενύγησαν οἱ ἅνδρες , implying that they did... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 34:8-10

And Hamor communed (literally, spake ) with them ( i.e. the whole family, or Jacob and his sons), saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for —the root ( חָשַׁק ) signifies to join together, intrans; to be joined together, hence to cleave to another in love (cf. Deuteronomy 7:7 , Deuteronomy 7:10 , Deuteronomy 7:15 ; Deuteronomy 21:11 ); of similar import to the word ( דָּבַק ) employed in Genesis 34:3 , which means to be devotedly attached to any one, as, ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 34:11-12

And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren (speaking with becoming deference and earnestness, and manifestly prompted by fervent and sincere love), Let me find grace in your eyes ,— i.e. let my suit be accepted ( vide Genesis 33:15 )— and what ye shall say unto me I will give. Ask me never so much dowry and gift ,—literally, multiply upon me exceedingly dowry and gift; the dowry ( mohar ) being the price paid for a wife to her parents (cf. Exodus 22:16 ; 1 Samuel... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Genesis 34:1-31

- Dinah’s DishonorThis chapter records the rape of Dinah and the revenge of her brothers.Genesis 34:1-5Dinah went out to see the daughters of the land. The Jewish doctors of a later period fix the marriageable age of a female at twelve years and a day. It is probable that Dinah was in her thirteenth year when she went out to visit the daughters of the land. Six or seven years, therefore, must have been spent by Jacob between Sukkoth, where he abode some time, and the neighborhood of Shekerm,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 34:6

Genesis 34:6. Hamor went to commune with Jacob It seems that Jacob would have acted wisely if he had followed his own judgment in this affair, instead of consulting his sons, who were young, rash, and violent. But it is evident that they had gained a considerable degree of influence with him: and on this occasion they plunged him into great trouble, and his whole family into great disgrace and danger. read more
