Genesis 34:7

⁷ובני יעקב באו מן השדה כשמעם ויתעצבו האנשים ויחר להם מאד כי נבלה עשה בישראל לשכב את בת יעקב וכן לא יעשה:

Genesis 34 recounts a dark and violent episode involving Jacob's family and the Hivite inhabitants of Shechem. Dinah, Jacob's daughter, is raped by Shechem, the son of Hamor, the city's ruler. In response, Dinah's brothers, Simeon and Levi, exact brutal revenge by slaughtering all the men of Shechem after they agree to be circumcised, a deceptive condition for marriage. This chapter exposes the deep moral failings within Jacob's household and the tragic consequences of unchecked anger and deceit.
