圣经”创世纪”描述了雅各的两个儿子西缅和利未用谎言和诡计,屠杀示剑全城的恐怖故事。
哈抹的儿子示剑看上雅各的女儿底拿, 不能控制情欲, 就勉強拉住她,强奸她,玷辱她。这是当时权贵欺侮寄居者的写照。示剑完事后,迷戀底拿,声称深爱她,并发誓要娶她为妻,还请父亲哈抹向雅各提亲。
如果你是雅各,你会把女儿嫁给他吗?
在好莱坞电影里, 示剑可能是个多情的好男人。声称爱底拿,实际上是迷恋她的床上工夫, 用爱情来作为强奸的藉口。结果让欲火焚身以致犯罪, 为自己的家庭和全城的人带来严重的后果。
哈抹是个有效的推销员, 他懂得站在对方立场上,告知对方有什么利益。他儿子为了爱情, 求娶为妻, 还可以彼此平等结亲, 同住, 获得居留权, 置产业等等。当时雅各家最需要就是产业。实际上哈抹是贪图雅各的牛羊, 奴裨。他不说他的家庭在婚姻中得到什么, 只说联姻会对雅各家有什么好处。可见他的谈判技巧很高。 压根就没有为示剑的兽行道歉,也没有任何悔罪和歉意的表示,他们认为这是钱可以摆平的事,恰恰激起了西缅和利未的愤怒,把雅各家陷在罪里, 也为全城的人掘好了坟墓。
哈抹知道全城的人都是贪财之徒,利诱他们,让他们同意手术。导致了一系列致命和严重后果, 全城人被杀被虏。
这个故事其实在预言2000年后, 耶稣通过拯救撒玛利亚妇人来拯救底拿和雅各家。示剑就是叙加。耶稣在2000年后在底拿被强奸的地方, 雅各井边。特意找到这个撒玛利亚妇人,雅各的子孙,赐给她活水。2000年前底拿被强暴,导致示剑全城的人被杀,在2000年后,上帝通过耶稣拯救了同样住在示剑的这个撒玛利亚妇人,并拯救示剑全城的人。

The Massacre of Simeon and Levi
2013-1-31
The Book of Genesis gives a vivid description of the terror story; the two sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi deceitfully massacred all male residents of the Shechem town.
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." (Genesis 34: 1-4)
If you were Jacob, would you agree that your daughter marry Shechem?
Shechem can be a romantic good man in the Hollywood blockbusters, who claimed that he loved Dinah, and insisted to marry her. In fact, he loved her body rather than herself. Love was only an excuse of violation; the sin caused the whole Shechem town to be destroyed.
Hamor was a good salesman. He understood how to speak in favor of others. He told Jacob the interest of the marriage, for the love of his son and future of Jacob’s daughter. Essentially Hamor coveted the properties of Jacob such as cattle, sheep livestock and slaves. He thought that this issue of rape could be solved and both side could be fairly kept satisfied by money and democracy of fellow townsmen in Shechem town, and he didn’t show any apology on the violation and remission of sins. The facts are just the opposite.
The angers of Simeon and Levi deceitfully agreed and required the whole town to be circumcised "Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?"
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 town, 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 town where their sister had been defiled. They seized their flocks and herds and donkeys and everything else of theirs in the town and out in the fields. They carried off all their wealth and all their women and children, taking as plunder everything in the houses. (Genesis 34:25-29)
This story made a prophecy through which Jesus would save the Samaritan woman, to save the house of Jacob including Dinah, 2000 years after.
