34:5When8 Jacob heard that Shechem9 had violated his daughter Dinah, his sons were with the livestock in the field. So Jacob remained silent10 until they came in.
Footnotes
- 8 The two disjunctive clauses in this verse (“Now Jacob heard … and his sons were”) are juxtaposed to indicate synchronic action.
- 9 Heb “he”; the referent (Shechem) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 10 The expected response would be anger or rage; but Jacob remained silent. He appears too indifferent or confused to act decisively. When the leader does not act decisively, the younger zealots will, and often with disastrous results.
