WOW! Dinah’s brothers certainly took some drastic measures in their response to the rape. First of all they bargained with the men of Shechem to be circumcised, then while the men were still in pain, Dinah's brothers killed them.

By using circumcision in this way, they defiled the symbol of the covenant between God and Abraham. The brothers Simeon and Levi lost part of their inheritance because of this.

Since Rachel had great difficulty in giving birth, the birth of Benjamin may have been a breech birth. Interesting that this birth took place near Bethlehem. Another significant birth also took place in Bethlehem.

Also interesting that Isaac lived many years after his "dying" blessing to Jacob.
