Genesis 34

The last chapter of Genesis to be read. I wonder why this one is the last? Its percentage guessed was 47% rather lower than the others. The reason for this may be simply a few words that were the wrong stem from my initial algorithm for guessing the stem from the word. Three errors, שכם can be backside, or rise up early or a name, Shechem (Shekem). חמר if it has the mater ו will be the name Hamor (Xamor) or without a vav will be ass. And אתה could be the stand alone pronoun, you, or could be a particle with a third person feminine pronoun (more rare), i.e. her. Fixing these brought the chapter up to 49% guessed. Not much difference.

Curious to me that נער (lad, lass) is marked as feminine only by vowels. My algorithms ignored vowels so it would have missed the feminine.

Verse 7. The working of outrage and insult can be read in to the text. שׁכב, lie down is rendered as rape שׁגל by JB. Certainly possible, but definitely interpretive. The whole problem is that interpretation determines thoughts and behaviour of those who read the text. And while I do think this is disgraceful and bad behaviour, I have to struggle with what is said, not what I think. The risk of overkill in my spirit is very high.

And the land, behold, is broad of hand before them. Their daughters, let us take to us to be wives, and our sons, let us give to them.	3c	4C	40 21
אַךְ־בְּ֠זֹאת יֵאֹ֨תוּ לָ֤נוּ הָאֲנָשִׁים֙ לָשֶׁ֣בֶת אִתָּ֔נוּ לִהְי֖וֹת לְעַ֣ם אֶחָ֑ד בְּהִמּ֥וֹל לָ֙נוּ֙ כָּל־זָכָ֔ר כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר הֵ֥ם נִמֹּלִֽים	22		But in this the men will assent to us to settle with us to be one people, if our every male be circumcised as they are circumcised.	3e	4C	24 15
מִקְנֵהֶ֤ם וְקִנְיָנָם֙ וְכָל־בְּהֶמְתָּ֔ם הֲל֥וֹא לָ֖נוּ הֵ֑ם אַ֚ךְ נֵא֣וֹתָה לָהֶ֔ם וְיֵשְׁב֖וּ אִתָּֽנוּ	23		Their livestock, and their acquisitions, and all their cattle, will they not be ours? Surely let us assent to them, and let them settle with us.	3e	4C	17 12
