1 레아가 야곱에게 낳은 딸 디나가 그 땅 여자를 보러 나갔더니

2 히위 족속 중 하몰의 아들 그 땅 추장 세겜이 그를 보고 끌어들여 강간하여 욕되게 하고

3 그 마음이 깊이 야곱의 딸 디나에게 연련하며 그 소녀를 사랑하여 그의 마음을 말로 위로하고

4 그 아비 하몰에게 청하여 가로되 `이 소녀를 내 아내로 얻게 하여 주소서' 하였더라

5 야곱이 그 딸 디나를 그가 더럽혔다 함을 들었으나 자기 아들들이 들에서 목축하므로 그들의 돌아오기까지 잠잠하였고

6 세겜의 아비 하몰은 야곱에게 말하러 왔으며

7 야곱의 아들들은 들에서 이를 듣고 돌아와서 사람 사람이 근심하고 심히 노하였으니 이는 세겜이 야곱의 딸을 강간하여 이스라엘에게 부끄러운 일 곧 행치 못할 일을 행하였음이더라

8 하몰이 그들에게 이르되 `내 아들 세겜이 마음으로 너희 딸을 연련하여 하니 원컨대 그를 세겜에게 주어 아내를 삼게 하라

9 너희가 우리와 통혼하여 너희 딸을 우리에게 주며 우리 딸을 너희가 취하고

10 너희가 우리와 함께 거하되 땅이 너희 앞에 있으니 여기 머물러 매매하며 여기서 기업을 얻으라' 하고

11 세겜도 디나의 아비와 남형들에게 이르되 `나로 너희에게 은혜를 입게 하라 너희가 내게 청구하는 것은 내가 수응하리니

12 이 소녀만 내게 주어 아내가 되게 하라 아무리 큰 빙물과 예물을 청구할지라도 너희가 내게 말한대로 수응하리라'

13 야곱의 아들들이 세겜과 그 아비 하몰에게 속여 대답하였으니 이는 세겜이 그 누이 디나를 더럽혔음이라

14 야곱의 아들들이 그들에게 말하되 `우리는 그리하지 못하겠노라 할례 받지 아니한 사람에게 우리 누이를 줄 수 없노니 이는 우리의 수욕이 됨이니라

15 그런즉 이같이 하면 너희에게 허락하리라 만일 너희 중 남자가 다 할례를 받고 우리 같이 되면

16 우리 딸을 너희에게 주며 너희 딸을 우리가 취하며 너희가 함께 거하여 한 민족이 되려니와

17 너희가 만일 우리를 듣지 아니하고 할례를 받지 아니하면 우리는 곧 우리 딸을 데리고 가리라'

18 그들의 말을 하몰과 그 아들 세겜이 좋게 여기므로

19 이 소년이 그 일 행하기를 지체치 아니하였으니 그가 야곱의 딸을 사랑함이며 그는 그 아비 집에 가장 존귀함일러라

20 하몰과 그 아들 세겜이 성문에 이르러 그 고을 사람에게 말하여 가로되

21 `이 사람들은 우리와 친목하고 이 땅은 넓어 그들을 용납할 만하니 그들로 여기서 거주하며 매매하게 하고 우리가 그들의 딸들을 아내로 취하고 우리 딸들도 그들에게 주자

22 그러나 우리 중에 모든 남자가 그들의 할례를 받음 같이 할례를 받아야 그 사람들이 우리와 함께 거하여 한 민족 되기를 허락할 것이라

23 그리하면 그들의 생축과 재산과 그 모든 짐승이 우리의 소유가 되지 않겠느냐 ? 다만 그 말대로 하자 그리하면 그들이 우리와 함께 거하리라'

24 성문으로 출입하는 모든 자가 하몰과 그 아들 세겜의 말을 듣고 성문으로 출입하는 그 모든 남자가 할례를 받으니라

25 제 삼일에 미쳐 그들이 고통할 때에 야곱의 두 아들 디나의 오라비 시므온과 레위가 각기 칼을 가지고 가서 부지중에 성을 엄습하여 그 모든 남자를 죽이고

26 칼로 하몰과 그 아들 세겜을 죽이고 디나를 세겜의 집에서 데려오고

27 야곱의 여러 아들이 그 시체있는 성으로 가서 노략하였으니 이는 그들이 그 누이를 더럽힌 연고라

28 그들이 양과, 소와, 나귀와, 그 성에 있는 것과, 들에 있는 것과,

29 그 모든 재물을 빼앗으며 그 자녀와 아내들을 사로잡고 집 속의 물건을 다 노략한지라

30 야곱이 시므온과 레위에게 이르되 너희가 내게 화를 끼쳐 나로 이 땅 사람 곧 가나안 족속과 브리스 족속에게 냄새를 내게 하였도다 나는 수가 적은즉 그들이 모여 나를 치고 나를 죽이리니 그리하면 나와 내 집이 멸망하리라

31 그들이 가로되 `그가 우리 누이를 창녀같이 대우함이 가하니이까 ?'

4429. To see the daughters of the land. That this signifies to become acquainted with the affections of truth and the churches thence derived, is evident from the signification of “to see” as being to become acquainted with (of which several times before); from the signification of “daughters,” as being affections and the churches thence derived (see n. 2362, 3024, 3963); and from the signification of “the land,” here the land of Canaan, as being the region where the church is, and hence also the church itself (n. 662, 1066, 1067, 1262, 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118, 2928, 3355, 3705, 3686).

[2] The signification of the things contained in this verse may be seen from what follows, for the subject treated of is the representative of a church that was to be instituted among the descendants of Jacob. That this representative could not be instituted among them until they had been completely vastated in respect to interior truths—that is, until they no longer knew them—may be seen above (n. 4289). These interior truths are all those represented and signified by the rituals that were commanded them; for all the rituals represented and signified something in the Lord’s kingdom in the heavens, and consequently something in the Lord’s kingdom on earth, that is, in the church; and the things that were signified and represented are the interior truths here meant. That each and all of the things commanded the descendants of Jacob when the representative of a church was being instituted among them (as described in the books of Moses, especially in Exodus and Leviticus) were representative and significative of the celestial and spiritual things of the Lord’s kingdom, has been everywhere shown in the explications. All these things were unknown to the descendants of Jacob, because these were of such a nature that if they had known them they would have profaned them (n. 301-303vvv2, 2520, 3398, 3479, 3769, 4281, 4293); and therefore they did not come into these representatives until they had been completely vastated in respect to their interiors; and therefore the truths in question and the extinguishing of them by the Israelites are described in this chapter.

[3] The representatives that were commanded to the descendants of Jacob were not new, but for the most part were such as had previously been in use among the ancients; but the ancients did not worship the externals, as did the descendants of Jacob (that is, the Jews and Israelites), but they worshiped the internal things, and by means of these they acknowledged the Lord Himself. There were still remains in the land of Canaan of the church of ancient time, especially among those called Hittites and Hivites, and this is the reason why by these nations are represented the truths that had been of the church. From what has been said it may in some measure appear what is signified by Dinah, Jacob’s daughter by Leah, going out to see the daughters of the land; for by Dinah is represented the external church, such as was instituted among the descendants of Jacob, and by the daughters of the land are signified the churches among the ancients. That in the internal sense of the Word “daughters” everywhere signify churches, has been shown above (n. 2362, 3024); and that the “land” signifies the region and nation where the church is, and thus the church (n. 662, 1066, 1067, 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118, 2928, 3355, 3686, 3705).

2362. Behold I pray I have two daughters who have not known man. That this signifies the affections of good and of truth, is evident from the signification of “daughters,” as being affections (see n. 489-491). Their “not having known man” signifies that falsity had not contaminated them; for “man” [vir] signifies rational truth, as also in the opposite sense falsity (n. 265, 749, 1007). There are two affections, namely, of good and of truth (see n. 1997). The former, or the affection of good, constitutes the celestial church, and is called in the Word the “daughter of Zion,” and also the “virgin daughter of Zion;” but the latter, or the affection of truth, constitutes the spiritual church, and is called in the Word the “daughter of Jerusalem.”

[2] As in Isaiah:

The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee, hath mocked at thee; after thee hath the daughter of Jerusalem shaken her head (Isaiah 37:22; 2 Kings 19:21).

In Jeremiah:

What shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem; what shall I equal to thee, and comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion (Lam. 2:13).

In Micah:

Thou, O tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, even to thee shall it come, and the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem (Micah 4:8).

In Zephaniah:

Shout, O daughter of Zion; make a loud noise, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem (Zeph. 3:14).

In Zechariah:

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; make a loud noise, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, thy King shall come unto thee (Zech. 9:9; Matthew 21:5; John 12:15).

[3] That the celestial church, or the Lord’s celestial kingdom, is called the “daughter of Zion” from the affection of good, that is, from love to the Lord Himself, may be seen further in Isaiah (10:32; 16:1; 52:2; 62:11; Jeremiah 4:31; 6:2, 23; Lam. 1:6; 2:1, 4, 8, 10; Micah 4:10, 13; Zech. 2:10; Psalms 9:14). And that the spiritual church, or the Lord’s spiritual kingdom, is called the “daughter of Jerusalem” from the affection of truth, and thus from charity toward the neighbor, may be seen in Jeremiah (Lam. 2:15). Both of these churches and their characteristics have been treated of many times in Part First.

[4] From the fact that the celestial church is from love to the Lord in love toward the neighbor, it is likened especially to an unmarried daughter or virgin, and indeed is also called a “virgin,” as in John:

These are they who have not been defiled with women, for they are virgins; these are they that follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth, for they are without spot before the throne of God (Revelation 14:4-5).

That this might be represented in the Jewish Church also, it was enjoined upon the priests that they should not take widows, but virgins, for wives (Leviticus 21:13-15; Ezekiel 44:22).

[5] From the things contained in this verse it can be seen how pure is the Word in the internal sense, although it may not so appear in the letter; for when these words are read: “Behold I pray I have two daughters who have not known man; let me I pray bring them out unto you, and ye may do unto them as is good in your eyes, only unto these men do not anything,” nothing but what is impure enters the ideas, especially the ideas of those who are in a life of evil. And yet how chaste these words are in the internal sense, is manifest from the explication, by which it is shown that they signify the affections of good and of truth, and the blessedness which they who do no violence to the Lord’s Divine and Holy perceive from the enjoyment of them.
