How should we respond to extreme acts of violence and injustice? In this verse by verse Bible study episode, we confront the chilling aftermath of Dinah's rape and the ruthless vengeance of her brothers, Simeon and Levi. We contrast their actions with the ideals of proportional justice found in Mosaic law, emphasizing the necessity of measured responses to wrongdoing.

Next, we ponder the significance of Jacob's return to Bethel, his personal place of divine encounter. Understanding Bethel as a symbolic sanctuary, we discuss why revisiting pivotal spiritual moments can refresh our faith and guide us back to a Christlike life that permeates every facet of our existence. Jacob's journey is a powerful reminder that spiritual fulfillment is an ongoing process, deeply influencing our daily lives. Join us for this profound exploration of justice, faith, and transformation.
