When Simeon and Levi Took the Law Into Their Hands

It’s amazing how Genesis can show us that God’s men were also sinners at the same time, saints, right? The issue is that we read the sins of the great heroes of the Old Testament–they were far from sinless and their sins are recorded for us to learn from. Polygamy for one was never God’s original plan for mankind either. Jacob was now learning it the hard way when he is reminded 24/7 that having 4 wives is a pain. Now, another dark blot in the life of his clan was the defiling of one his daughters (Dinah, the rest were not mentioned) in the pagan land of Shalem.
