| Summary: | Rape is a terrible thing, and the extreme denial of the integrity of a person. However, Genesis 34 does not deal with rape, as is demonstrated by the semantic study in this article. The question in the title of this paper : 'Rape or worse?', is in the end answered : the prohibition of free movement, of having one's own perspective and the denial of speech, is as bad as rape, because it makes people, women, invisible, and they do not remain in our memories. Worse than rape is, however, murder : the genocide on a people, the Hivites. The slaughter of all men and the capturing of all women and children of Shechem. And Dinah is made responsible for it, as the semantic study of axy shows. |
