4460. 'And [so] spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister' means that the first stage in the joining together which could not be anything different was effected through acceptance. This becomes clear from the explanation of the words 'he took her, and lay with her, and ravished her' which meant that there was no other way in which it could be joined to the affection for truth meant by 'the sons of Jacob', who were his brothers, see 4433. The reference here to his defilement of her implies much the same.
