In episode 51, we learned about Jacob's sons, Reuben and Judah. Today, we're meeting another member of the family: Jacob's only daughter, Dinah.
Hello friends, and welcome back to a brand new episode of The Bible You Thought You Knew.
A few weeks ago, I discussed two of Jacob's most infamous sons: Reuben and Judah. So, it is only fair to now discuss another member of the family, Dinah, Jacob's only daughter.
Dinah is only featured once in the Bible, in Genesis 34. And that's the exact story I'll be discussing today.
Sadly, like many other Bible tales that center around women, this one isn't a happy one.
In fact, I'd like to warn you first: This story is a tragedy, so be prepared.
All right, are you ready?
Let's dive in!
