Genesis 34:1

1. Dinah Now grown to be a blooming girl of twelve or fourteen years .

Went out to see the daughters of the land Josephus says: “While the Shechemites were observing a feast, Dinah, the only daughter of Jacob, went into the city, looking at the fashion ( κοσμον , order, or, perhaps here, ornamentation) of the women of the country . ” There is no occasion, however, for the supposition that the abduction was occasioned by any such public meeting of Dinah and Shechem . Jacob’s family had now resided many years near the city, and probably Dinah had formed the habit of free intercourse and friendship with the young women of the place.
