- 1Simeon and Levi their sin double, 1. The murder of the Sichemites.Simeon and Levi their sinne double, 1. The murder of the Sichemites.
The sin is double. First, They were the Actors of that bloody and rageful murder and spoil committed on the Sichemites, in killing Hamor, Shechem and all the Males. They drew their swords and went in boldly on the third day when all were sore, and slew all the men they met withal. Jacob doth curse their rage and anger, and doth abominate the same.
The sinne is double. First, They were the Actors of that bloudy and ragefull murder and spoyle committed on the Sichemites, in killing Hamor, Shechem and all the Males. They drew their swords and went in boldly on the third day when all were sore, and slew all the men they met withall. Iacob doth curse their rage and anger, and doth abominate the same.
It is a grievous sin to kill men in a wrathful passion, without just warrant and calling from God, indeed to kill one particular person is sin enough, and calleth for the Sword of the Magistrate to cut of the sinner, how much more to fill ones hands with blood, and kill as here a whole city or town.
