Genesis 34:25

Genesis 34:25. Two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi— Though Simeon and Levi only are mentioned, there can be no doubt but their servants accompanied and assisted them in the destruction they wrought. I apprehend that, in Gen 34:27 the sons of Jacob means only Simeon and Levi, as it does not appear that any other of the sons were engaged in this enterprize; nor does Jacob condemn any other than Simeon and Levi, Gen 34:30 and surely we should be slow in involving too many in so guilty a deed. One cannot believe that so just a man as Jacob would suffer the spoil of the city to remain in his family, Genesis 34:28-29. When he knew the case, doubtless he returned it to the widows and orphans, after reproving his sons, as in the following verse, for their perfidy, injustice, and cruelty.
