SEV Biblia, Chapter 34:25
¶ Y sucedió que al tercer día, cuando sentían ellos el mayor dolor, los dos hijos de Jacob, Simeón y Leví, hermanos de Dina, tomaron cada uno su espada, y vinieron contra la ciudad animosamente, y mataron a todo varón.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 34:25
Verse 25. On the third day, when they were sore] When the inflammation was at the height, and a fever ensued which rendered the person utterly helpless, and his state critical, Simeon and Levi, the half brothers of Dinah, took each man his sword, probably assisted by that portion of the servants which helped them to take care of the flock, came on the city boldly, jfb betach, securely - without being suspected, and being in no danger of meeting with resistance, and slew all the males. Great as the provocation was, and it certainly was very great, this was an act or unparalleled treachery and cruelty.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 20-31 - The Shechemites submitted to the sacred rite, only to serve a turn, to please their prince, and to enrich themselves, and it was just with God to bring punishment upon them. As nothing secures us better than tru religion, so nothing exposes us more than religion only pretended to But Simeon and Levi were most unrighteous. Those who act wickedly under the pretext of religion, are the worst enemies of the truth, an harden the hearts of many to destruction. The crimes of others form n excuse for us. Alas! how one sin leads on to another, and, like flame of fire, spread desolation in every direction! Foolish pleasures lea to seduction; seduction produces wrath; wrath thirsts for revenge; the thirst of revenge has recourse to treachery; treachery issues is murder; and murder is followed by other lawless actions. Were we to trace the history of unlawful commerce between the sexes, we shoul find it, more than any other sin, ending in blood __________________________________________________________________
