What is meant by the following text:
Genesis 49:6
(1) O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.
(2) Why did they dig down a wall? |
Jacob had nothing to do with the ungodly act of Simeon and Levi
(1) "Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor
stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful."
(2) Men are known to have built walls around their cities for their
defense against marauders and enemies. Simeon and Levi went into
a city on false pretenses (claiming peace), to kill the man (a prince of
that city) that took advantage of their sister. They not only killed him,
but [all the men] of the city (emphasis mine). Although they went in
thought the gates of the city, stealth was in their hearts, therefore it is
said (Jacob's words) that they did
". . . dig down a wall."
