Genesis 34 · Grade 2
A Sad Story
Read the Story
This is a sad story from the Bible. Jacob's family lived near a city. Its name was Shechem. Jacob's girl, Dinah, went to see the women there.
The prince of that city did something very wrong to Dinah. Her brothers were very upset. Two brothers did not trust God. Simeon and Levi used a trick. They hurt many people in the city.
Jacob was upset with his sons. He told them they had brought trouble on him. The Bible tells us true stories, even sad ones. God wants us to be kind to all. He wants us to let Him make things right. We should not pay people back.
Memory Verse
