Day 13Genesis 34

Jacob's daughter, Dina, goes to visit some girls in the land near her house. A boy, Shechem, rapes her and kidnaps her, wanting to make her his wife. Jacob hears of this but doesn't do anything because his sons are out in the fields. They come back and are pissed, and the boy's father, Hamor, approaches and tried to make peace. Jacob's sons say "no can do! We can't let our sister marry an uncircumcised guy! We'll only allow it on one condition— every man in the town has to get circumcized!" Hamor goes back to town and gets everyone to do it because it would mean intermarrying with a lot of wealth from Jacob's stuff. They all agree, and three days later the two oldest sons (Simeon and Levi) show up with swords and kill all the men who are still in pain. The rest of the boys swoop in and loot everything in the city and take all the livestock and take the women and children as slaves. Jacob is pissed because they basically destroyed a whole town and he gets the other people around will realize they're troublemakers. The brothers reply "are we supposed to just let him treat our sister like a prostitute?"
