“The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.”
The sons of Jacob came upon the dead bodies and looted the city where their sister had been defiled. The broader looting — by all the sons, not just Simeon and Levi — extends the response from targeted revenge to broad pillage. The application: violence, once unleashed beyond its original target, expands to encompass anyone near the object of the violence.
