In this week\u2019s reading from Parashat Vayishlach (Shemot \/ Genesis 32:3-36:43<\/span><\/em>) we read that Jacob sent messengers before him to his brother Esau along with a gift in order to appease him of the things done in the past (32:3-20<\/span><\/em>).\u00a0 Jacob wrestles with a man (32:24<\/span><\/em>) and realizes that he has seen God face to face and lived (32:25-31<\/span><\/em>).\u00a0 Jacob and Esau meet (33:1-16<\/span><\/em>) and Esau returns to his place in Seir and Jacob travels to Shechem.\u00a0 Jacob buys the piece of land before the city of Shechem (33:19<\/span><\/em>) and his daughter Dinah is raped according to verse 34:2 Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite took her by force (against her will).<\/span><\/em>\u00a0 Jacob\u2019s sons deceive the people of Shechem (34:5-24<\/span><\/em>), and Simeon and Levi take their swords and kill every male in the city while they were in pain from circumcision (34:25-33<\/span><\/em>).\u00a0 God instructs Jacob to go to Bethel and dwell there (35:1<\/span><\/em>).\u00a0 The Lord appears to Jacob again and confirms his name change from Jacob to Israel and blesses Jacob (35:9-15<\/span><\/em>).\u00a0 Traveling to Bethel, Rachael gives birth and dies (35:16-19<\/em><\/span>).\u00a0 Isaac lives to 180 years old and dies and is buried (35:28-29<\/span><\/em>).\u00a0 The Parashah ends stating the land cannot sustain the flocks of both Jacob and Esau, so Esau moves his family and all that he owns away (36:1-43<\/span><\/em>).\u00a0 Jacob calls out to the Lord saying that He is unworthy of God\u2019s grace and truth (32:11<\/span><\/em>).\u00a0 Jacob encounters God at Peniel (\u05e4\u05bc\u05b0\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc).\u00a0 The Lord changes Jacob\u2019s name to Israel and strikes his hip changing both who he is and the way he walks.\u00a0 These Scriptures reveal to us that an encounter with the Lord can change our lives for the better.\u00a0 On the other hand, an encounter with sin can also effect our lives for the worse.<\/p>\n \u05e1\u05e4\u05e8 \u05d1\u05e8\u05d0\u05e9\u05d9\u05ea \u05e4\u05e8\u05e7 \u05dc\u05d3<\/strong> Bereshit \/ Genesis 34:24-27<\/span><\/em><\/strong> According to the Masoretic Text Bereshit \/ Genesis 34:1<\/span><\/em> tells us, \u05d0\u00a0\u00a0 \u05d5\u05b7\u05ea\u05bc\u05b5\u05e6\u05b5\u05d0 \u05d3\u05b4\u05d9\u05e0\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b7\u05ea-\u05dc\u05b5\u05d0\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b2\u05e9\u05c1\u05b6\u05e8 \u05d9\u05b8\u05dc\u05b0\u05d3\u05b8\u05d4 \u05dc\u05b0\u05d9\u05b7\u05e2\u05b2\u05e7\u05b9\u05d1 \u05dc\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea \u05d1\u05bc\u05b4\u05d1\u05b0\u05e0\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b8\u05e8\u05b6\u05e5: 34:1 Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the daughters of the land.

(NASB)<\/span><\/em>\u00a0 Dinah was not where she was supposed to be and Shechem took her and had sexual relations with her by force, she was rapped.\u00a0 As the narrative goes, Simon and Levi took vengeance upon the entire city following three days having been circumcised according to Bereshit \/ Genesis 34:24-27<\/span><\/em>.\u00a0 Dinah\u2019s desire (one persons desire) to go, to see, and to learn the ways of the surrounding people resulted in the death of an entire population of people.\u00a0 How significant of a warning is this for us today to avoid seeking the way of the world?\u00a0 Doing so, according to this week\u2019s portion, can have far reaching consequences.<\/p>\n After Simeon and Levi killed everyone in the city, they took Dinah from Shechem\u2019s house and brought her back home.\u00a0 The rabbis have the following to say regarding Dinah, when Simeon and Levi removed her from Shechem\u2019s house in Midrash Rabbah Bereshit, Parashat 80, Part 11<\/span><\/em> (\u05de\u05d3\u05e8\u05e9 \u05e8\u05d1\u05d4 \u05d1\u05e8\u05d0\u05e9\u05d9\u05ea \u05e4\u05e8\u05e9\u05d4 \u05e4 \u05e1\u05d9\u05de\u05df \u05d9\u05d0).<\/p>\n Midrash Rabbah Bereshit, Parashat 80, Part 11<\/span><\/em><\/strong> \u05de\u05d3\u05e8\u05e9 \u05e8\u05d1\u05d4 \u05d1\u05e8\u05d0\u05e9\u05d9\u05ea \u05e4\u05e8\u05e9\u05d4 \u05e4 \u05e1\u05d9\u05de\u05df \u05d9\u05d0<\/strong> The rabbis say in Midrash Rabbah Bereshit, Parashat 80, Part 1<\/span><\/em>, that Dinah was forcefully removed from Shechem\u2019s house and brought back home.\u00a0 The idea put forward in the midrash is that when a woman is intimate with an uncircumcised person she finds it difficult to tear herself away.\u00a0 This is an important interpretation since circumcision may be related to sin before God.\u00a0 In Parashat Vayera<\/span><\/em>, we discussed the topic of circumcision and the importance of the circumcised heart, which changes us from the inside out, transforms our lives, and we begin walking and living in righteousness and justice, truth and innocence, love and mercy, the very things the Torah instructs us to do.\u00a0 Considering the midrash on Abraham and circumcision (Midrash Rabbah on Parashat Vayera<\/span><\/em>, see the study on Parashat Vayera), and what Yeshua said in Matthew 5:8 \u201cBlessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.\u201d (NASB)<\/span><\/em>, this comparison is important since Scripture tells us that Abraham circumcised himself in the flesh, and based upon the opening verses in Parashat Vayera<\/span><\/em>, we see the servant attitude Abraham has towards the angels.\u00a0 This suggests that Abraham also circumcised himself in his heart and\/or that God had also done this work as well.\u00a0 He behaved as a humble servant, he bowed himself down, he got water for their feet and bread to eat so they could rest and refresh themselves.\u00a0 Abraham had a pure heart, and the Lord showed Himself to him.\u00a0 The men who attached themselves to the sign of the covenant (circumcision), the power of God to transform the heart, and to live in righteousness, truth, justice, love, and mercy, these are the signs of a circumcised heart that is humble before the Lord God Almighty.<\/p>\n This is a very important context leading up to Dinah having an interest to leave her community to seek out \u201cthe manners (\u05d1\u05e0\u05d9\u05de\u05d5\u05e1) of the daughters of the people of the land\u201d and the rabbinic interpretation in Midrash Rabbah Bereshit, Parashat 80, Part 11<\/span><\/em> of being intimate with an uncircumcised person to find it difficult to tear oneself away afterwards.\u00a0 If Dinah going out to see the custom of the native girls (e.g. their practice during menstruation<\/em>), may be paralleled to sexual relations, adultery, and idolatry, the entire context of the Torah, the blessings and the curses may be drawn in to teach us that we are to be very careful, mindful, and watchful of our lives to subdue the evil desires to seek out things that are not of God.\u00a0 Notice how the Apostle Paul considers a similar context we found here in our study in Colossians 3:5<\/span><\/em>.<\/p>\n Colossians 3:5<\/span><\/em><\/strong> Paul compares immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed to idolatry.\u00a0 According to Tehillim \/ Psalms 51:12-13<\/span><\/em>, sin causes separation from the Lord which is another way to say that as we sin we are acting in opposition to the leading of God\u2019s Spirit.\u00a0 In the final verses of the psalm David recognizes that the Lord is looking for repentance, justice (\u05de\u05b4\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05e4\u05bc\u05b8\u05d8) and righteousness (\u05e6\u05b0\u05d3\u05b8\u05e7\u05b8\u05d4) over sacrifice in his statements in Tehillim \/ Psalms 51:18-19 \u201cFor You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it;
