Heard Tell

And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her. And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel. And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife. And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his  cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come. And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him. And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; which thing ought not to be done.-Genesis 34:1-7***The Hivites were idol worshipers, and lived in Canaan, and were descended from Noah the ark builder, and Noah's son Ham, and Ham's son Canaan. Terah, his children Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), and Terah's grandson Lot were descendants of Noah's son Shem. Before Abraham was 75 years old, the Lord God told Abraham to leave his country and kin and come into the land he would be shown. Abraham journeyed away from Ur in southern Mesopotamia with Sarah, Terah and Lot and began living in Haran, in northern Mesopotamia. Sometime after 205-year old Terah died in Haran, Abraham, Sarah, and Lot journeyed with their servants and possessions to Canaan, and the Lord God promised to give Canaan to Abraham's descendants and Abraham. When Abraham was 86 years old, Ishmael was born to Abraham and Hagar, Sarah's maidservant. When Abraham was 99 years old the Lord God gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision, and Abraham, Ishmael and all the males among them were circumcised. When Abraham was 100 years old, Isaac was born to Abraham and 90-year-old Sarah. When Isaac was 40 years old, he was married to Rebekah, Abraham and Sarah's grandniece. During a famine, the Lord God appeared to Isaac and promised to give Canaan to Isaac and Isaac's descendants. When Isaac was 60 years old, fraternal twins Esau(Edom) and Jacob (Israel) were born to Isaac and Rebekah. When Isaac was elderly and his eyesight was diminished and he thought his death was soon to occur, he sent Esau to fulfill a request. Rebekah heard Isaac speaking to Esau and led Jacob into deceiving Isaac and cheating Esau. When Rebekah heard that Esau planned to kill Jacob, she spoke words to Isaac that led Isaac to send Jacob to Rebekah's family in Padan Aram, Haran. During Jacob's 7th year with Rebekah's family, Jacob was married to Leah and Rachel, the daughters of Rebekah's brother Laban the Syrian (Aramean). Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, and daughter Dinah were born to Jacob and Leah. Dan and Naphatli were born to Jacob and Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant. Gad and Asher were born to Jacob and Zilpah, Leah's maidservant. During Jacob's 20th year in Haran, Jacob began journeying to Canaan with Leah, Rachel, Bilhah, Zilpah, their children, servants, and possessions. Jacob and Esau were reunited after Jacob was involved in a divine wrestling encounter. Benjamin was born to Jacob and Rachel in Canaan, near Bethlehem, and Rachel died. In the region of Shechem, Jacob brought land from Hamor the Hivite. Moreover, in Shechem, Jacob's sons used the necessity of circumcision in a vengeful plan that involved Simeon, Levi, Hamor, Shechem, and the rest of Hivites in the city. In Hebron (Kirjath-arba/Kiriath-arba/Arbah) Jacob was reunited with Isaac. Over 1,750 years after 147-year-old Jacob died in Egypt and his family buried his body in Canaan, and 110-year-old Joseph and his siblings were dead, and their descendants the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt, John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, were born. John the Baptist was born into the tribe of Levi to elderly Zechariah (Zacharias) the priest and Zechariah's elderly wife Elizabeth (Elisabeth). Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born in Bethlehem into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. On the 8th day after John the Baptist was born, he was circumcised, and on the 8th day after Jesus the Christ was born, Jesus was circumcised. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. In Samaria, in a portion of land that Jacob possibly acquired from Hivites, Jesus identified himself to a woman and other Samaritans.-Genesis, Exodus, Numbers 13:1-14:45, 20:1-29, 26:1-27:23, Deuteronomy 31:1-34:12, Joshua 1:1-11:23, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-3:31, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezra 1:1-11, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
