Commentary on Genesis 34:3

Theological / Devotional

Spake kindly unto the damsel. Literally, “he spoke to the heart for the maiden,” that is, he sought to console her for what had happened and to win her affections. It seems that although Dinah had intentionally gone to the city alone, she did not consent to all that happened there. She was now in the house of the Shechem, where she was found when Simeon and Levi sacked the city a few days later (v. 26).
