Triennial Cycle Year II: Genesis 34:1-35:15
Ḥumash Etz Ḥayim, page 206
Haftarah: Obadiah 1:1-21, page 221
- (34) The rape of Dinah and her brothers’ revenge. Everett Fox writes about this chapter, “Like other stories in the Yaakov cycle, it presents us with a somewhat ambiguous situation, where right and wrong are not always simple and the putative heroes are not always heroic.”
- (35:1-15) Various incidents in Jacob’s life: He builds an altar at Bethel (fulfilling his vow from many years before), and God renews the divine promise of the land to him.
