Genesis 34:27 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister. The sons of Jacob - The rest of Jacob's sons, the remaining brothers of Simeon and Levi, spoiled the city. Though the others could slay the defenceless males, it was not likely that they could have carried away all the booty, with the women, children, and cattle; it is therefore most natural to suppose that the rest of the sons of Jacob assisted at last in the business.
