The theme is The Danger of Vengeance. Dinah, Jacob's daughter, is defiled by Shechem, but rather than seeking just resolution, Simeon and Levi exact violent revenge, killing all the males in the city. Their actions brought trouble to Jacob's household and dishonoured God’s ways. This chapter teaches us that vengeance belongs to God, and our anger can lead to sin. God calls us to humility and trust in His justice instead of seeking personal revenge.
