Genesis 34:27

27 quibus egressis inruerunt super occisos ceteri filii Iacob et depopulati sunt urbem in ultionem stupri

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 et ecce die tertio quando gravissimus vulnerum dolor est arreptis duo Iacob filii Symeon et Levi fratres Dinae gladiis ingressi sunt urbem confidenter interfectisque omnibus masculis
26 Emor et Sychem pariter necaverunt tollentes Dinam de domo Sychem sororem suam
27 quibus egressis inruerunt super occisos ceteri filii Iacob et depopulati sunt urbem in ultionem stupri
28 oves eorum et armenta et asinos cunctaque vastantes quae in domibus et in agris erant
29 parvulos quoque et uxores eorum duxere captivas
