THEOSISJohn Chrysostom
Let us first listen to Emmor's words to them, which reveal the devious intentions of Dinah's brothers as they sought to avenge the shame brought upon their sister. Emmor began addressing them, stating, "Shechem, my son, has attached his soul to your daughter." Observe how he unwittingly hints at the impending doom that awaits him. When he speaks of "clinging with his soul," he implies that he has devoted himself entirely to your daughter. Though he expresses his son’s love for the young woman, he will soon realize that this very passion will lead to his own ruin, as well as that of everyone residing there.
