Genesis 34 · Grade 3

Anger and Revenge

Name Date

Read the Story

Jacob's family settled near the city of Shechem. Dinah, the daughter of Leah, went out to visit the women of the land. Shechem, the son of the ruler Hamor, took her and dishonored her. Then he wanted to marry her, and his father asked Jacob to let their peoples join together.

Jacob's sons were grieved and very angry. They answered deceitfully. They said they would agree only if every man in the city received the covenant sign of circumcision. Hamor and Shechem agreed.

On the third day, while the men were in pain, Simeon and Levi took their swords and attacked the city. They killed the men, including Hamor and Shechem, and took Dinah home. The other brothers plundered the city. Jacob said, You have troubled me. Simeon and Levi said Shechem had treated their sister wrongly.

Memory Verse

Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and strike me, and I will be destroyed, I and my house.”
