In my short time at Candler, I have already learned a lot and covered a lot of theological ground. In the past couple of weeks, we have specifically been focusing on Genesis 34 in one of my classes. This is one of the Bible's "difficult texts" in that it narrates a story about Dinah, Jacob's daughter, who is raped by a Canaanite named Shechem. Shechem proceeds to try to negotiate a marriage with Dinah, but through deceit, Jacob's sons eventually kill Shechem and the men of his city. There are many difficulties in this text, and you can read the full version here.
As we have been discussing this text, I could not help but think of the ever popular "Bed Intruder Song" on YouTube, which I took as divine revelation.
So, I have harmonized these two stories in a way that I believe sheds greater light on both. (And trust me, it will make more sense to read/watch these things first, before my video)
Without further ado, I present Bed Intruder: The Genesis.
