And the other time that God found Jacob, it was when 1he was in great distress, after his daughter Dinah had been deflowered, and his sons Simeon and Levi had committed that great outrage against the Shechemites, so great an outrage as to kill the City, and upon that Jacob and all his family was in great danger of being destroyed, for the act was so foul, that it could not but make all the people (as Jacob thought) to abhor him, and would be a cause that they should all rise against him, and utterly to cut him off, therefore in Gen. 34 30. Jacob tells his sons, that they had made him to stink among the inhabitants of the Land, so that he was afraid they would gather together and destroy him and his house; no question the distress that Jacob was in, was very great, that his daughter should be deflowered by the uncircumcised ones, and that his two sons should commit such an outrage, and should endanger him to be destroyed utterly by them; For, who would have thought but that all the Inhabitants of the Land should have risen against him, and have cut him off? Now the next thing that we hear of, God meets with him at Bethel, and speaks very gracious things to him there, and he did not only speak to him, but there he spake with us.
