Michael,

Don't forget that at that time Dinah was probably 10-12 years old. It is also possible that $KEM the son of XAMOR was at that time much older [in spite of the fact that he is referred to later as HA-NA (AR], possibly already married to several wives and with a good number of children. The bible says [Genesis 34:1] that he saw her, took her, lay with her and tormented her, implying that he violated her in some cruel, nasty and spiteful manner.

I just found a reference to an article in Beth Mikra by Mayer Gruber volume 157, that argued that Genesis 34:2 refers to premarital sex and not rape. Any comments?
Sincerely,
Michael Abernathy
