旧约 - 创世记(Genesis)第34章

Now Dinah, the daughter Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the land.
When Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, the ruler of that area, saw her, he took her and violated her.
His heart was drawn to Dinah daughter of Jacob, and he loved the girl and spoke tenderly to her.
And Shechem said to his father Hamor, "Get me this girl as my wife."
When Jacob heard that his daughter Dinah had been defiled, his sons were in the fields with his livestock; so he kept quiet about it until they came home.
Then Shechem's father Hamor went out to talk with Jacob.
Now Jacob's sons had come in from the fields as soon as they heard what had happened. They were filled with grief and fury, because Shechem had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter--a thing that should not be done.
But Hamor said to them, "My son Shechem has his heart set on your daughter. Please give her to him as his wife.
Intermarry with us; give us your daughters and take our daughters for yourselves.
You can settle among us; the land is open to you. Live in it, trade in it, and acquire property in it."
Then Shechem said to Dinah's father and brothers, "Let me find favor in your eyes, and I will give you whatever you ask.
Make the price for the bride and the gift I am to bring as great as you like, and I'll pay whatever you ask me. Only give me the girl as my wife."
Because their sister Dinah had been defiled, Jacob's sons replied deceitfully as they spoke to Shechem and his father Hamor.
They said to them, "We can't do such a thing; we can't give our sister to a man who is not circumcised. That would be a disgrace to us.
We will give our consent to you on one condition only: that you become like us by circumcising all your males.
Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves. We'll settle among you and become one people with you.
But if you will not agree to be circumcised, we'll take our sister and go."
Their proposal seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem.
The young man, who was the most honored of all his father's household, lost no time in doing what they said, because he was delighted with Jacob's daughter.
So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city to speak to their fellow townsmen.
"These men are friendly toward us," they said. "Let them live in our land and trade in it; the land has plenty of room for them. We can marry their daughters and they can marry ours.
But the men will consent to live with us as one people only on the condition that our males be circumcised, as they themselves are.
Won't their livestock, their property and all their other animals become ours? So let us give our consent to them, and they will settle among us."
All the men who went out of the city gate agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male in the city was circumcised.
Three days later, while all of them were still in pain, two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and attacked the unsuspecting city, killing every male.
They put Hamor and his son Shechem to the sword and took Dinah from Shechem's house and left.
The sons of Jacob came upon the dead bodies and looted the city where their sister had been defiled.
They seized their flocks and herds and donkeys and everything else of theirs in the city and out in the fields.
They carried off all their wealth and all their women and children, taking as plunder everything in the houses.
Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have brought trouble on me by making me a stench to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people living in this land. We are few in number, and if they join forces against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed."
But they replied, "Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?"
创世记第卅四章   第 34 章 

  创 34:1-4> 情欲真是难于驾驭?是放纵,还是控制? 

  34:1-4 示剑可能被“一见钟情”所害。他的行为既冲动又邪恶,他不单得罪了底拿,也得罪了雅各全家( 34:6-7 ),为自己的家庭和雅各的家庭带来极严重的后果( 34:25-31 )。示剑虽然声称深爱底拿,却不能以此作为强奸底拿的藉口。别让欲火焚身以致犯罪,要小心控制情欲。 

  创 34:25-31> 以骄横的心态,处理人与人之间的关系,会带来什么后果? 

  34:25-31 雅各一家看自己是神的选民,是与众不同的,以致西缅和利未严厉地惩治示剑城的人。神的确是要他们从信奉异教的人中分别出来,但是这班兄弟误以为要分别出来,就是比别人优胜。这种骄横的心态,叫他们屠杀了许多无辜的百姓。 

  创 34:27-29> 当明白情欲会带来的严重后果时,我会如何谨守自己? 

  34:27-29 示剑污辱底拿所导致的后果远超过他所能想像的。底拿的兄弟因愤怒而进行报复,痛苦、欺诈、大屠杀就接踵而来。性犯罪是极其可怕的,因为它会带来不堪设想的深远恶果。 

  创 34:30-31> 以错误的手段,来做自己认为正确的事,结果是…… 

  34:30-31 西缅和利未为要报复示剑奸污底拿,就欺骗、抢掠、杀害示剑城的人。他们要伸张公义的心是对的,但是为求目的不择手段却是错了。因为他们的罪行,父亲雅各在临终前咒诅他们( 49:5-7 )。若干世代以后,西缅的子孙要失去部分神所应许他们的土地。当我们想以恶报恶的时候,千万不要鲁莽,只要让神伸冤报应,我们就可以避免陷入罪恶的网罗里。──《灵修版圣经注释》
