Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 34:20

‘And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and consulted with the men of their city, saying.’ The gate of the city was where the leading men would meet in dealing the city’s affairs. Hamor could not just dictate terms. Most petty kings were subject to the guidance of their counsellors and had to take their people along with them in major decisions. Thus although he and his son have agreed to the terms they now have to carry their counsellors along with them. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 34:21-23

“These men are peaceable with us. Therefore let them dwell in the land and trade in it. For behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters. But only on this condition will the men give consent to us to live among us to become one people, and that is if every male among us be circumcised as they are circumcised. Will not their cattle and their substance and all their animals be ours? Only let us give consent to them and... read more

Genesis 34. Shechem’ s Outrage on Dinah Avenged.— It is generally agreed that two sources have been used, but much uncertainty prevails as to their identity and extent, while in view of the priestly phraseology in one of the narratives, it is probable that the compiler has left his mark rather deeply upon it, unless we assign it directly to P, who may have employed an earlier story. According to one story, perhaps J, Shechem seduces Dinah and keeps her in his house. Jacob announces the news... read more

CRITICAL NOTES.—Genesis 34:6. Hamor, the father of Shechem, went out unto Jacob to commune with him.] In Oriental countries the fathers arrange the marriages of their children. Genesis 34:7. Wrought folly in Israel.] “This was a standing phrase from this time forth for crimes against the honour and vocation of Israel as the covenant people, especially for gross sins of the flesh.” (Deuteronomy 22:21; Judges 20:10; 2 Samuel 13:2.) “Fool” and “folly” are terms used of impiety and iniquity.” (See... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 34:1-31

Chapter 34Now there's a time gap between chapters thirty-three and thirty-four because at the time that they had left the land of Padanaram, Dinah was less than six years old. And now she comes into the story at this point and obviously is older than that. And Dinah the daughter of Leah ( Genesis 34:1 ), Who was, of course, the first wife that Laban had given to him, the older sister and after Dinah-Leah actually, had born several sons to Jacob, she finally bore a daughter. And so she had a lot... read more

Genesis 34:1. Dinah. One of the oldest of Jacob’s daughters, for he had many: Genesis 37:35. Josephus intimates that it was a festival day, and it is probable that she had been invited by ladies with whom her family was acquainted. She was then about fifteen years of age, but it does not appear that Jacob knew of this visit to the feast. Genesis 34:12. Dowry, to the father, and gift to the lady. When Cyrus concluded the match with Gobrias, that Hystaspes should marry his daughter, he... read more

Genesis 34:6-31They slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s houseThe punishment of Dinah’s dishonourI.IT WAS PROMPTED BY A FEELING OF VENGEANCE AGAINST THE DOER OF A GROSS MORAL WRONG. II. IT WAS A GRIEVOUS SIN. 1. Unjust and cruel. The punishment was far in excess of the fault, and the innocent were made to suffer with the guilty. 2. IT was committed under the hypocritical pretence of religion. 3. It was perilous to the true interests of the... read more

Gen 34:19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter: and he [was] more honourable than all the house of his father. Ver. 19. And the young man deferred not, &c. ] Heb., Neque distulit puer; The lad deferred not. He is called a lad or a child, that is, a fool; because he was carried, not by right reason, but blind affection, "walking in the ways of his heart and sight of his eyes".
