0:26Well, good morning everyone. My name is Brian Ty, and I serve here as the pastor for counseling. And I'm really glad that you're here this morning to worship the Lord and to hear from his word. And as we get started, I'd like us to do a brief survey together. And I thought about putting it on the screen and having you texting your answers, but that's just way too complicated and it's way too early for that. So we're just gonna keep it simple and we're just gonna raise our hands. So everybody okay with that? All right, so here we go. So how many of you read news sites or watch the news at least once a month?

1:09Okay, almost to all of you. You can put your hands down. Alright, how many of you read news sites or watch the news at least once a week? All right. Still most of you, again, you're a very informed congregation. This is impressive. Alright, last question. How many of you read news sites or watch the news at least once a day? Okay, a few less, but still probably the majority. All right. Well, I have to admit, I'm probably in that middle group once a week, maybe twice a week, I will scan through a news site. And the reason I don't do that more often is because frankly, I just don't like what I see.

1:51Right? Uh, much of the news is just one big dumpster fire, right? It's filled with chaos and confusion and crime. And I can't remember the last time that I read the news and walked away feeling uplifted or encouraged. It's a rare occasion. And so even though I know I should stay informed and kind of be in touch with what's going on in the world quite often, I just want to avoid watching the news. Well, as we continue in our sermon series this morning in the book of Genesis, we're going to be looking at Genesis chapter 34. And Genesis 34 is a very challenging passage. And one of the reasons it's so challenging is because it's filled with so much sin.

2:42So in our passage today, we're going to read about rape and deception and revenge and murder. We're going to see complete and utter depravity among outsiders and God's people alike. And sadly, we won't come across a single word of encouragement or promise or hope. In fact, there's no mention of God at all in this chapter. And so again, if you're like me, there's a part of you that will be reluctant to study a passage like this. Just like reading the news site. You might want to avoid the brokenness and the sin and the tragedy that's here. But I wanna encourage you this morning, as challenging as this passage is, hang in there and do your best to give it your full attention.

3:38After all, Genesis 34 is part of holy scripture. It's God breathed like the rest of the Bible. It's profitable for teaching and reprove and correction, and for training in righteousness. So somehow this chapter is for our edification. Somehow it will point us to Jesus. Somehow it will serve our joy. But in order to see that we're going to need the Lord's help. So let's turn to the Lord together and seek his help in prayer. Father in heaven, we're about to consider a very difficult chapter. And if we're honest, it's a chapter we probably wouldn't have included in scripture. But like all things, you know what's best.

4:35So help us this morning as we consider Genesis chapter 34. Help us to see what you want us to see and to learn what you want us to learn. Cause your word to have its intended effect in our lives. Use this passage as challenging as it is to bring you glory and make us more like your Son. It's in Jesus' name that we pray. Amen. This morning we are going to break down our chapter into three sections and read it as we go. So in verses one to four, we'll see a crisis that develops. And then in verses five to 24, we'll see a response that follows. And then finally, in verses 25 to 31, we'll look at the outcome to this crisis.

5:27So if you wanted to outline this morning, you can just jot down those three words, crisis response, outcome. So first this morning, let's look at verses one to four, and consider the crisis that develops at the beginning of this chapter. So beginning in verse one, we read Now Dina, the daughter of Leah, whom she had born to Jacob, went out to see the women of the land. And when Shechem, the son of Haymore, the hiit, the prince of the land saw her, he seized her and lay with her and humiliated her. And his soul was drawn to Dina, the daughter of Jacob. He loved the young woman and spoke tenderly to her.

6:12So Sheko spoke to his father, Haymore, saying, get me this girl from my wife. Well, right at the outset, we are told that Dina, who is probably 15 or 16 years old at the time, went out to visit the women of the land. And at first glance, that sounds totally normal, doesn't it? Young ladies today go out by themselves all the time. They go to school by themselves, they take walks by themselves. They go and visit their friends by themselves. But in the ancient world, things were very different. Young ladies rarely left their settlement unaccompanied because they were vulnerable to various dangers, including the danger of sexual assault.

7:02As one commentator explained, unattached, young women were considered fair game in the cities of the time in which promiscuity was not only common, but a part of the religious system itself. And of course, we know that was true of Canaanite culture as well, don't we? In fact, unmarried women were often taken by leaders of the land. As you probably remember, that's exactly what happened with Abraham's wife, Sarah, not just once, but twice, because Abraham lied and said that Sarah was his sister. Uh, both Pharaoh and ab Bialek took Sarah into their harems. So given that reality, given the dangers that existed at that time, Dina's desire to go and visit the women of the land was understandable, but probably unwise.

7:59Well, what happened next was absolutely horrific. Shechem, the son of Haymore, the Hitite, the ruler of that area, seized Dina, laid with her and humiliated her. And that particular use of the verb lay that you see there in verse two, that implies force. So Sheko sexually assaulted Dina. He raped Dina, he violated her in one of the most despicable ways possible. And brothers and sisters, I wanna be very, very clear about something here. However, unwise Dina was, she did not deserve what happened to her. She did not deserve to be treated like an object. She did not deserve to be taken advantage of.

8:53She did not deserve to be defiled and humiliated. And so that means Dina was a victim of rape. This was not her fault. And frankly, it, it grieves me to not just think, but to actually know that some of you here today have actually experienced the same humiliation that Dina did. That's horrific. That's absolutely horrible. No one, and I mean, no one should ever have to endure such savagery, and no one should be accused of bringing such pain upon themselves.

9:36And so if that's something that you've experienced and you've yet to get help or talk with someone, I would encourage you to come and talk with me or someone from our counseling team or or someone in the church that you know and trust. We wanna pray for you. We wanna help you. We wanna care for you in any way that we can. Well, again, what happened to Dina was absolutely horrific. She was raped and humiliated by Shechem, the ruler of the land. But then our text tells us something really strange, doesn't it? It says that second shechem's soul was drawn to Dina and that he loved her and spoke tenderly to her.

10:23So what's going on here? Apparently Shechem formed some sort of romantic attachment to Dina. It could be that he developed a genuine love for her, or maybe it was just youthful passion. Either way, Shechem was determined to secure Dina for his wife. So he went to his father, Haymore, and he asked him to help make arrangements so that he and Dina could be married. And so that's the crisis that we see develop. At the beginning of this chapter, Dina has been defiled and Shechem is determined to marry her.

11:05Now, before we move on, there's a question that we could, should consider. Where was Jacob when all this happened? After all, he's the head of this family, right? He's the leader of the home. Where was he when she went out to visit the women of the land? Why did he let her be unaccompanied? Why didn't he protect and make sure she was cared for and ensure that that happens?

11:33Well, our text doesn't comment directly about this, but notice how Dina was introduced back in verse one. She was introduced as the daughter of Leah rather than the daughter of Jacob. And that was atypical. Typically, children were introduced in relation to their father, not their mother. So why was Dina introduced as Leah's daughter rather than Jacob's? Could it be that Jacob lacked the same concern and love for Dina as he did for Leah? Well, as we continue in our passage, I think we'll see our answer. So moving on to verses five to 24, let's now consider the response to this crisis. Let's consider the response to this crisis.

12:27So beginning in verse five, we read. Now Jacob heard that he that's referring to Shechem had defiled his daughter, Dina, but his sons were with his livestock in the field. So Jacob held his peace until they came. And Haymore, the father of Shechem, went out to Jacob to speak with him. The sons of Jacob had come in from the field as soon as they heard it. And the men were indignant and very angry because he had done such an outrageous thing in Israel. In lying with Jacob's daughter, for such a thing must not be done. But Haymore spoke with them saying, the soul of my son, Shechem longs for your daughter.

13:07Please give her to him to be his wife. Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us and take our daughters for yourselves. You shall dwell with us, and the land shall be open to you, dwell in it and trade in it and get property in it. Shaham also said to her father and to her brothers, let me find favor in your eyes. And whatever you say to me, I will give. Ask me for as great of a bride, price and gift as you will. And I will give you whatever you say to me. Only give me this young woman to be my wife. The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father Haymore deceitfully, because he had defiled their sister Dina, they said to them, we cannot do this thing to give our sister to one who's uncircumcised for that would be a disgrace to us.

13:53Only on this condition will we agree with you that you'll become as we are by every male among you being circumcised, then we will give our daughters to you and we will take your daughters to ourselves, and we will dwell with you and become one people. But if you'll not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and we will be gone. Their words pleased, Haymore and ER's son, check them. And the young man did not delay to do the thing because he delighted in Jacob's daughter. Now, he was the most honored of all his father's house. So Haymore and his son Shechem, came to the gate of their city and spoke to the men of their city saying, these men are at peace with us.

14:37Let us dwell in the land and trade in it for behold the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters as wives and let us give them our daughters. Only on this condition will the men agree to dwell with us to become one people. When every male among us is circumcised, as they are circumcised will not their livestock, their property, and all their beast be ours, only let us agree with them and they will dwell with us. And all who went out of the gate of his city listened to Haymore and his son check him. And every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city. Well, at the beginning of this scene, both Jacob and his sons received news of Dina's defilements.

15:25And according to our text, Jacob held his peace. So he was, he was silent at this point. Instead of being greed by what happened or desiring to have justice and seek that he was completely quiet. Now, some would argue that Jacob was, uh, being self-controlled here, that he was just kind of being patient, that he was doing a good thing. But a few chapters later, we see how Jacob responds when he receives news that Jacob, uh, Joseph rather, is killed. When that happens, he, what does he do? He tears his garments, he puts on sackcloth, and he mourns for days a very different reaction than what he received.

16:07The news of Dina's rape. That contrast, along with Jacob's ongoing passivity in this chapter, suggests that his disregard towards Leah had in fact trickled down to his daughter Dina. In other words, Jacob was playing favorites again. And in doing so, he was abandoning his duty to protect and care for Dina. But notice that Jacob's sons had a completely different reaction. Unlike Jacob, when they heard about Dina's defilement, they were angry. In fact, they were furious. And rightfully so, they knew that such a thing as this should not have happened and something must be done about it. So what were they gonna do? How were they going to right this wrong?

16:57Well, it's at this point that Shechem's father Haymore came to Jacob and his sons, and he made a proposal. And this proposal involved far more than just a wedding between Dina and Shechem. Haymore proposed that the people of Israel intermarry with the HIEs and dwell in their land and get property there. And you need to understand that this would've been quite an enticing offer to Jacob and his sons. It would've been an opportunity to expand their wealth and get some prime real estate in the promised land. But as enticing as that offer was, it would've been wrong for Jacob and his sons to accept it to begin with such an offer.

17:41If they were to accept it would be a shortcut to receiving the Promised Land. You may remember back in Genesis 17, God promised that he would be the one, not Haymour, not anyone else to give his descendants the promised Land. So to accept this offer at this time, that would've been premature. That would've been a shortcut. Not only that, but accepting such an offer would lead them astray from God. That's why Abraham told Isaac back in Genesis 24, not to marry a Canaanite. That's why Isaac told Jacob back in Genesis 28, not to marry a Canaanite. And that's probably why Rebecca said her life was made bitter.

18:25When Esau did marry a canaanite, marrying a Canaanite was problematic because they worshiped false gods. If you married a Canaanite, it was going to lead you away from the one true and living God. Well, there was one more reason why it would've been wrong for Jacob and his sons to accept this offer. And this is perhaps the most significant reason of all. If Jacob and his sons accepted this offer, it would lead to the complete assimilation of Jacob's family and ER's family. As verses 16 and 22 mentioned, they would become one people. In other words, if Jacob and his sons accepted this offer, they would no longer be distinct.

19:14They would no longer be set apart as God's people. In a sense, they would no longer exist as God's covenant people. In some ways it's, it's a little bit like what happens when you combine two hydrogen atoms with an oxygen atom. When you bring those two elements together, they lose their individual properties and they become something new. They become a compound, they become water. So do you see what was at stake here? If Jacob and his sons made this deal, they would lose their individual properties. They would cease to be set apart as God's covenant people. They would become a compound as it were, instead of remaining as an element.

20:02And if God's covenant people ceased to exist, then that meant God's covenant with Abraham would be in jeopardy. And all of the promises along with it, including the promise that one day one of Abraham's descendants would bring blessing to all of the families of the earth. So in light of Haworth's proposal, how did Jacob and his sons respond? Well, sadly, Jacob remained silent once again. He abandoned his fatherly duty to lead. And so Jacob's sons took over the negotiations, and according to verses 14 and 17, they agreed to Haworth's proposal, but on one condition that every male among them was circumcised.

20:53Now, at first glance, we might think that Jacob's sons were trying to kind of, you know, evangelize the HIEs. We might think they were trying to bless them and invite them to be part of God's covenant. People. After all, circumcision was the sign of the covenant. It was a mark of inclusion into the people of God. But our text makes it clear that was not their intention. As verse 13 says, the sons of Jacob answered zeman as father Haymore deceitfully because he had defiled their sister Dina. So Jacob's sons had no intention of joining with the HIEs. Instead, they were planning to use the sign of circumcision to incapacitate the male population of the city.

21:42Now, of course, Haymore and Shechem at this time had no idea what Jacob's sons were up to. And surprisingly, even though this treaty now included the mark of circumcision that didn't dissuade them, it could be that they were familiar with that custom from other ancient peoples, or that they even practiced it themselves as an initiation into marriage. Either way, they willingly agreed to the terms set out by Jacob's sons. Well, at this point, Haymore and Sheko went to meet with the leaders of the town, and they went there to persuade them to join this treaty. And it's there that we see yet another example of deception.

22:26Notice that Haymore didn't mention Shechem sin when he kind of presented this case for circumcision. Nor did he mention that he promised to give Jacob and his family land. Instead, Haymore focused on the various economic advantages that they would experience if they joined in this treaty. Not only that, we also see Haymore, and she's true motive for agreeing to the circumcision. They didn't want to enjoy fellowship with Jacob's family. They wanted to exploit them. They wanted to absorb them into their own family. As verse 23 says, well, not their livestock, their property and all their beasts be ours, only let us agree with them and they will dwell with us.

23:16Well, it's no surprise that after such a compelling sales pitch, the men of the city agreed to Haymore and she's plan. And as a result, every male HIIT among them was circumcised. Alright, all right. Well so far we've considered the crisis that develops and the response of these two families. Let's now turn our attention to verses 25 to 31, where we see the outcome to this crisis. Beginning in verse 25, we read on the third day when they were sore, two of the sons of Jacobs, Simeon and Levi Dina's brothers took their swords and came against the city while it felt secure and killed all the males.

24:04They killed Haymore and his son Shechem with the sword and took Dina out of Shechem's house and went away. The sons of Jacob came upon the slain and plundered the city because they had defiled their sister. They took their flocks and their herds, their donkeys and whatever was in the city and in all the field, all their wealth, all their little ones and their wives, all that was in the houses they captured and plundered. Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, you have brought trouble on me by bring making me a stink to the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the parasites. My numbers are few, and if they gather themselves against me and attack me, I shall be destroyed both I and my household.

24:48But they said, should he treat our sister like a prostitute? Well, in these closing verses, Simeon and Levi did the unthinkable. They waited until these men were at their most vulnerable and they went out into the city and they killed every single one of them, every single one. And in doing so, they committed multiple sins to begin with. They violated the treaty that they made with Hamo and shechem. Again, they had no intention of keeping their word. They were cold and calculated in their deception from the start. Not only that they misused the sign of the covenant for their own selfish purposes.

25:38They actually weaponized circumcision as a means to curse rather than bless. And then perhaps worse of all the punishment they exacted far exceeded the crime that Shechem committed. In other words, they exacted vengeance, not justice. They murdered innocent men to satisfy their lust for revenge. And we actually know from later in Genesis that God did not look favorably on Simeon and Levi's sins. In fact, consider what Jacob said in his final words to them. In Genesis 49, he says, Simeon and Levi are brothers. Weapons of violence are their swords. Let my soul come not into their counsel. Oh my glory be not joined to their company.

26:31For their anger, they killed men. And in their willfulness, they hamstrung oxen cursed be their anger. For it is fierce and their wrath for it is cruel. I will divide them in Jacob and I will scatter them in Israel. Well, sadly, this mass murder was followed by yet another sinful act when the remainder of Jacob's sons plundered the city. As one commentator explained, even though these sons weren't involved in the murderous massacre, they had no problem looting the dead, enslaving, enslaving the women and children and confiscating their possessions. Here again, they exacted vengeance, not justice.

27:20And it was at this point that Jacob finally spoke up and he scolded Simeon and Levi, but notice what he was and was not upset about. He was not upset about their deception or the fact that they misused the sign of the covenant or that they murdered tons of innocent men. Nor was Jacob upset that God's name was being profaned and dishonored among the nations. No, Jacob was upset because of how his son's behavior might affect him. He was upset and concerned and worried that his reputation would be ruined and his safety would be threatened. He was being very selfish here. And yet there was something legitimate about Jacob's concern.

28:06The Canaanites and the parasites could attack him and his family as a result of his son's behavior. And again, if that happened, it would be yet another threat to God's covenant people. Well, in verse 31, Simeon and Levi responded to their father's scolding with a a zinger of sorts. They asked, should he treat our sister like a prostitute? In other words, to do nothing about Dina's rape and then willingly accept money as payment for this marriage between Dina and Shechem would be treating her just like a prostitute. And they just couldn't allow that to happen. So even though Simeon and Levi had blood on their hands at this point, they felt justified in their actions.

28:54Unlike Jacob, who is completely passive, they at least stood up for their sister. All right, well, we have worked through our passage. We've seen the crisis that develops. We've seen the response of these two families, and we've seen the outcome to this crisis. And through it all, we've seen sin, sin and more sin, haven't we, from start to finish almost nothing but sin. And so here's the question before us. How does this dark and tragic chapter from God's word apply to us? How? How does it point to Jesus? How does this passage serve our joy as followers of Jesus Christ? Well, let me suggest three things.

29:51First, Genesis 34 warns us not to become like the world. It warns us not to become like the world. When Jacob and his family settled in the city of Shechem at the end of chapter 33, they were finally in the promised Land. They were in the land of Canaan, but they weren't alone. There were they. There were other peoples in the land, and of course where they settled, they were among the HIEs and they were probably there for about 10 years. So think about that. Jacob and Leah and Rachel, they raised their children in this Canaanite culture. They were surrounded by it for 10 years, and from all appearances, they were negatively influenced by their pagan neighbors.

30:42Take Jacob for example. You remember just a couple chapters ago in chapter 32 and 33, he was seeking God's blessing. He was praying to God, he was acknowledging God's favor. But here in chapter 34, he's not doing any of those things. Instead, we find him neglecting his daughter and abdicating his leadership and being worried about what his pagan neighbors think. And Jacob's sons were no better. They didn't think twice about deceiving haymour and shek anymore, profaning the sign of the covenant or committing mass murder. In other words, there was nothing in Jacob or his son's behavior that would've distinguished them or set them apart from the HIEs.

31:23Jacob and his sons had become just like the world around them, and this would've served as a significant warning to the nation of Israel as they were about to cross into the promised land, a land that was also occupied with Canaanites. It was a warning to them not to become like the world. It was a warning to them to maintain their holiness and be distinct and set apart as God's people and brothers and sisters. We need that same warning today, we're to be in the world, but not of it. We're to be salt and light in the world, not blend in with it. That's why scripture says, do not love the world or the things in the world.

32:10That's why it says friendship with the world is enmity with God. That's why it says, do not be yoked with an unbeliever and hear me on this. I'm not suggesting that we, we go and build a colony on Mars or retreat to some kind of private island. We are to operate in this world. We are to evangelize the loss. We are to love our neighbors, but we can do those things without compromising our convictions. We can do those things without losing our distinctness as followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. Again, as God's people, we must not become like the world.

32:58Second, Genesis 34 warns us not to neglect God. It warns us not to neglect God. I mentioned a minute ago that Jacob and his family have been living in the city of Sheko for about 10 years. But what's interesting is God never called him to do that. That was a decision that Jacob made after he reconciled with Esau, and he made that decision on his own as far as we can tell. Not only that, but back in Genesis 28, Jacob vowed that if God took care of him and provided for him while he was in Paan, Iran, then he would return to Bethel and he would worship God there. And of course, God kept up his end of the bargain, didn't he?

33:44God provided for Jacob. He provided him wives and children in livestock. He even brought him back safely into the promised land. But what about Jacob? Why didn't he return to Bethel? As he had vowed? It makes no sense. It would've been one thing if he would've stopped and check him for a day, or even a few, but 10 years. There was no reason for that. I mean, think about it. For 10 years, Jacob delayed. In returning to Bethel for 10 years, he delayed in reuniting with his mother and father. For 10 years, he delayed in worshiping God in the way that he promised he would.

34:28And sadly, Jacob's problem went beyond delayed obedience. According to Genesis 35, before Jacob finally did return to Bethel, he had to first purchase household of all these foreign gods. So Jacob wasn't just guilty of delayed obedience, he was guilty of allowing false worship in his home. It's no wonder, it's no wonder there's no mention of God. In Genesis chapter 34, Jacob was neglecting God and his thoughts and his desires and his actions. And that's being reflected in this chapter.

35:06And of course, we, we know the result of Jacob neglecting God. Don't we rape deception, murder desecration. These all happened on Jacob's watch. And again, this would've served as a warning to the nation of Israel as they were about to cross into the Promised Land. Would they prioritize God and follow his ways or would they neglect God and do their own thing? And of course, we need to hear that warning as well, don't we? Because at times, all of us, including myself, we're all tempted to neglect God. We're all tempted to go our own way. We're all tempted to, to go down a path that we think will lead to freedom.

36:02We think it will lead to life. We think it will lead to joy, but it never does. Instead, it leads to pain and destruction and death, just like it did for Jacob. So brothers and sisters, whatever you do, don't neglect God. It's just not worth it. It's just not worth it. Well, third and finally this morning, Genesis 34 reminds us that God remains faithful to his promises. Even when we fail and are faithless, God remains faithful to his promises, even when we fail and are faithless. You know, one of the things we've talked about quite a bit in the book of Genesis is are these promises that God made to Abraham?

36:58We know that God promised to give Abraham the land of Canaan as an everlasting possession. We know that God promised to give Abraham descendants and one day make a great nation from him. We also know that God promised to bless Abraham and bless the families of the earth through him. Well, in Genesis 34, all those promises were in jeopardy. The moment that Haymore proposed that the HIEs and Jacob's family intermarry, if that would've happened, it would've meant the complete erosion of God's covenant people. And of course, all of God's promises along with it. So who was going to make sure that didn't happen?

37:42Who was going to make sure that God's people were preserved? Who was going to make sure that God's promises were fulfilled? It sure wasn't Jacob. He was silent. He was passive. He was just sitting on his hands. Nor was it Jacob's sons. They were too busy plotting a revenge and profaning the sign of the covenant to care about God, much less his promises. You know, who is preserving God's people and ensuring that God's promises were being fulfilled? God, it was God and God alone who is doing that work. You see, even though God was never mentioned in Genesis 34, that doesn't mean he was absent. He was there. He was at work.

38:32He was sovereignly and graciously bringing about his purposes. In fact, he was using the sinful actions of his people for their own redemption. The reality is what Simeon and Levi meant for evil, God meant for good, and brothers and sisters, this is such good news for us. This means that even when we're faithful or faithless, rather, God is faithful. He's the only one who's completely faithful and he's always faithful. This means we serve a God whose purposes cannot be thwarted no matter how much we fail. This means we serve a God who can bring blessing from curse and redemption from destruction and life from death.

39:21In fact, if you want the ultimate example of that, just consider the cross. That was the worst moment of history. Much worse, much, much worse than anything we've read about today. In Genesis 34 on the cross, Jesus, the very son of God was treated like a criminal. Even though he was sinless, he was betrayed and beaten and humiliated and murdered. But a scripture tells us it's by his stripes that we are healed. So it's through Jesus' death. It's through his death and resurrection that we can now receive forgiveness for our sins. It's through his atoning sacrifice that we can be brought into God's covenant and experience the blessing of Abraham and enjoy his presence forever.

40:13So praise God, even when we're faithless, even when we fail, God remains faithful to his promises. Amen. Amen. Amen.
