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 after the circumcision, while all the men were still very sore, two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each with his sword in hand, walked into the city as if they owned the place and murdered every man there.

26 They also killed Hamor and his son Shechem, rescued Dinah from Shechem's house, and left.

27 When the rest of Jacob's sons came on the scene of slaughter, they looted the entire city in retaliation for Dinah's rape.

28 Flocks, herds, donkeys, belongings - everything, whether in the city or the fields - they took.

29 And then they took all the wives and children captive and ransacked their homes for anything valuable.
