Where is Diana in the Bible?

I’d be happy to provide a detailed answer to your question about Dinah in the Bible.

So, Dinah, also sometimes spelled Dina, is mentioned several times in the Old Testament. She is the daughter of Jacob, one of the patriarchs of the Israelites, and his wife Leah. Dinah’s story is quite tragic and revolves around an incident that took place near the city of Shechem.

In the book of Genesis, it is mentioned that Dinah was abducted and raped by a man named Shechem, who was the son of Hamor, a Hivite. The Hivites were a Canaanitish people who lived in the region. This incident is described in Genesis 34.

The story goes that Shechem became infatuated with Dinah and desired to marry her. He approached Jacob and his sons with the proposal, but Dinah’s brothers were understandably furious and felt that their sister had been dishonored. They agreed to the marriage on one condition: all the men of Shechem’s city must be circumcised. Shechem and his father agreed to this condition and convinced the men of their city to undergo the circumcision.

However, while the men were still recovering from the procedure, Dinah’s brothers, Simeon and Levi, took matters into their own hands. They attacked the city of Shechem, killing all the men, including Shechem and his father. They also rescued Dinah from Shechem’s household.

This act of revenge by Simeon and Levi is often criticized in biblical commentary, as it involved deceit and violence. Jacob, their father, was also angered by their actions and expressed his disapproval. Nevertheless, Dinah’s story serves as a reminder of the consequences of violence and the importance of protecting the honor and well-being of individuals, especially women.

In later verses, Dinah is mentioned again in the context of Jacob and his family’s journey to Egypt. In Genesis 46:15, it is stated that Dinah was one of the daughters of Jacob who accompanied him to Egypt.
