Gen 34-35

There are events that are recorded in the Bible but it doesn’t mean God endorses these kind of behavior. Jacob’s sons understood they cannot mix with the Canaanites. Therefore, the desire to stop the intermarriage between Shechem and Dinah is correct. However, the way of deception and violence is condemned by Jacob later in Gen 49:5. Taking revenge in our own hand is always wrong in the Bible. Instead, we should follow Ro 12:19, “Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord."”
