Jacob's daughter, Dinah, went to a nearby city to see its female residents. Plotting Jacob's children onto a timeline shows Dinah's age to be approximately 13 to 15 years old when her curiosity caused her to wander away from the safety of her family's encampment. Like many young women, Dinah unexpectedly found herself vulnerable to attack. Shechem, the prince of this city-state took advantage of her and then decided after humbling her that he loved her and wanted to marry her.
The molestation that preceded the marriage proposal led to negotiations between the inhabitants of the city and the family of Jacob. A supposed-truce that included the rite of circumcision hid the subterfuge of two of Jacob's sons who then attacked and killed all the male inhabitants on a day that they were sore.
