Mitchell CruitHOST
Abusive authority leads to defilement by taking what does not belong to it.

Look with me now at verse six to see what happens.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
And they went into the house of their God and ate and drank and reviled Abimelech.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
And Gael, the son of Ebed, said, Who is Abimelech? And who are we of Shechem that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jeroboam and is not Zebul his officer? Serve the men of Hamor, the father of Shechem, but why should we serve him would that his people were under my hand.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
Then I would remove Abimelech.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
I would say to Abimelech, increase your army and come out.

Josh JohnstonHOST
It's quite literally fighting talk.
Josh JohnstonHOST
Interestingly, Gal uses the same sort of argument that Abimelech used to obtain power.
Josh JohnstonHOST
Abimelech appealed to family identity, I am your bone and flesh, and Gal now appeals to an older Shechemite identity, Verse 28, we are the sons of Hamor.
Josh JohnstonHOST
Why should we serve Abimelech? The argument which propped Abimelech up is now being used to pull him down.
MeganGUEST
And Jacob went down into Egypt, and he died, he and our fathers.
MeganGUEST
And they were carried back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham had bought for a sum of silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
JustinHOST
Yeah, and so, again, can't argue with him, but he's also establishing, he's like, I know the story.
MeganGUEST
Right.
MeganGUEST
And he's
JustinHOST
giving very specific details.
JustinHOST
He says Shechem and Hamor.
JustinHOST
He's not just, he knows details.
Mitchell CruitHOST
Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, on his way from Paran Aram, and he camped before the city.
Mitchell CruitHOST
And from the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, he bought for a hundred pieces of money the pieces of land on which he had pitched his tent.
Mitchell CruitHOST
And there he erected an altar and called it El Elohei Israel.
Mitchell CruitHOST
This means God, the God of Israel.
speaker_0HOST
It says, Leah's daughter Dinah, whom Leah bore to Jacob, went out to see some of the young women of the area.
speaker_0HOST
When Seshom, son of Hamor the Hivite, who was the regent's chieftain, saw her, he took her and raped her.
speaker_0HOST
He became infatuated with Jacob's daughter Dinah.
speaker_0HOST
He loved the young girl and spoke tenderly to her.
speaker_0HOST
If you make a mistake, own up to it.
speaker_0HOST
You must model accountability to your children, not compromise.
speaker_0HOST
So we have this young woman wandering about the town, and what happens? Verse 2, When Sesham, son of Hamor the Hivite, who was the regent's chieftain, saw her, he took her and raped her.
speaker_0HOST
Now, we must remember that rape is not a crime of sexual passion.
John NeufeldHOST
Now we come to verses two and three.
John NeufeldHOST
"And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her, he seized her and lay with her and humiliated her.
John NeufeldHOST
And his soul was drawn to Dinah the daughter of Jacob.
John NeufeldHOST
He loved the young woman and spoke tenderly to her." First, I think what happened to Dinah is probably roughly equivalent to what we now call date rape.
John NeufeldHOST
But that does not yet define love or the different kinds of love.
John NeufeldHOST
Well, let's keep reading, verses four to eight.
John NeufeldHOST
"So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, 'Give me this girl for my wife.' Now, Jacob heard that he had defiled his daughter Dinah, but his sons were with his livestock in the field, so Jacob held his peace until they came.
John NeufeldHOST
And Hamor, the father of Shechem, went out to Jacob to speak with him.
John NeufeldHOST
In verses 18 to 20, "And Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, on his way from Paddan-aram, and he camped before the city.
John NeufeldHOST
And from the sons of Hamor, Shechem's father, he bought for 100 pieces of money the piece of land on which he pitched his tent.
John NeufeldHOST
There he erected an altar and called it El-Elohe-Israel." So why does Jacob go to Shechem? The answer is actually quite simple.
John NeufeldHOST
Many years ago, his grandfather Abraham, when he came to the Promised Land, had come to that very place.
Mark PenfoldNARRATOR
And Jacob went down into Egypt.
Mark PenfoldNARRATOR
There he died, and so did our forefathers, and they were taken to Shechem and were laid in the tomb which Abraham had bought from the sons of Hamor at Shechem for a sum of money paid in silver.
Mark PenfoldNARRATOR
But as the time drew near for the fulfillment of the promise which God had made to Abraham, the people became many times more numerous in Egypt until there arose a foreign king over Egypt who knew nothing of Joseph.
Mark PenfoldNARRATOR
He adopted a crafty policy towards our race and oppressed our forefathers, making them cast out their infants so that they might not be permitted to live.
