A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
THE DISHONOR OF DINAH. (Gen. 34:1-31)

Though freed from foreign troubles, Jacob met with a great domestic calamity in the fall of his only daughter. According to JOSEPHUS, she had been attending a festival; but it is highly probable that she had been often and freely mixing in the society of the place and that she, being a simple, inexperienced, and vain young woman, had been flattered by the attentions of the ruler's son. There must have been time and opportunities of acquaintance to produce the strong attachment that Shechem had for her.

27 And Jacob [03290] came [0935] unto Isaac [03327] his father [01] unto Mamre [04471], unto the city of Arbah [07153], which is Hebron [02275], where Abraham [085] and Isaac [03327] sojourned [01481].
14 And he said [0559] to him, Go [03212], I pray thee, see [07200] whether it be well [07965] with thy brethren [0251], and well [07965] with the flocks [06629]; and bring [07725] me word [01697] again [07725]. So he sent [07971] him out of the vale [06010] of Hebron [02275], and he came [0935] to Shechem [07927].
