Read Genesis 33.18-23. In 33.18-34.31: The rape of Jacob's daughter, Dinah. This story of rape and revenge is the first example of violence in the interaction of Israelite and Canaanites. Their relationship up to this point in Genesis have ben cordial and peaceful. In 33.18-19: Shechem is both the name of the city and the name of the son of Hamor, the "prince of the region" (34.2). In verse 20: El-EloheIsrael means "God, the God of Israel." The ancient divine name "El" appears elsewhere in Genesis, usually combined with another word: El Elyon (14.19), El Shaddi (17.1), El Olam (21.33), and El-bethel (35.7). Comments of Questions..
