Genesis 34:25
Three days later, while all of them were still in pain, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, took their swords and attacked the unsuspecting city, killing every male.
Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Thu, Nov. 12, LEVI (Gen. 34:25). Levi, what a good name. Levi was connected to the high priest. The high priest can be taken only from the Levites. No other tribe can be a high priest. But, who knows that the ancestor was very sinful? Who knows that Levi was a killing maniac?
a. He killed unarmed men.
They were unready. They were still in pain because of the circumcision.
b. He killed unwell men.
They were in pain. They could not even fight back.
c. He killed unmercifully.
No men were spared. Every male was killed.
d. He killed undeserved men.
They were actually wanted to repent. They wanted to fix what they had done wrong. They proposed politely. They met the requirement Jacob gave them.
This again shows us that God loves us unconditionally. So let’s love unconditionally too. ASH.
