    1


Birth Year:1776 BC 3


Dictionary Summary:The second son of Jacob by Leah ([Gen. 29:33](/gen#Gen.29.33)). He was associated with Levi in the terrible act of vengeance against Hamor and the Shechemites (34:25, 26). He was detained by Joseph in Egypt as a hostage (42:24). His father, when dying, pronounced a malediction against him (49:5-7). The words in the Authorized Version (49:6), “they digged down a wall,” ought to be, as correctly rendered in the Revised Version, “they houghed an ox.” 2
