Genesis 34:27 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 34:27

The sons of Jacob came upon the slain
That is, the rest of them, as the Targum of Jonathan paraphrases it; understanding what their two brothers had done, they came and joined them, and partook of stripping the slain of their clothes, or from them what they found of any worth about them:

and spoiled the city;
plundered it of all its goods and substance, spoiled all the inhabitants of it of their wealth:

because they had defiled their sister;
one of them had done it, which is imputed to them all, they not restraining him from it, when it was in their power; and perhaps approving of it, and made a laugh of and jest at it; or however did not punish him for it.

Genesis 34:27 In-Context

25 Three days later, when the men were still sore from their circumcision, two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, the brothers of Dinah, took their swords, went into the city without arousing suspicion, and killed all the men,

26 including Hamor and his son Shechem. Then they took Dinah from Shechem's house and left.

27 After the slaughter Jacob's other sons looted the town to take revenge for their sister's disgrace.

28 They took the flocks, the cattle, the donkeys, and everything else in the city and in the fields.

29 They took everything of value, captured all the women and children, and carried off everything in the houses.
