01.14.2015 Old Testament: Gen 34.4

To read the Bible in a year, read Genesis 33–35 on January 14, In the year of our Lord 2015

By Don Ruhl

A Canaanite known as Shechem, saw the daughter of Jacob, Dinah, took her and forced himself upon her. Then watch what he did,

So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, “Get me this young woman as a wife” (Genesis 34.4). 

He took her against her will, and then had the audacity to ask his father to get her for him as a wife. His father approached Jacob and made the request.

Some people take, and it does not satisfy them. They want to take again. You can never satisfy a taker. He will always want more.
