In this excerpt, Thomas Schreiner examines the story of Dinah and Shechem, highlighting the complex way God’s purposes unfold through human sin.

While the actions of Simeon and Levi are clearly sinful, Schreiner explains that God sovereignly uses this situation to preserve the purity of Israel and prevent intermarriage that would corrupt the promised seed. At the same time, their actions bring consequences and create new dangers for the people of God.

This passage reveals an important hermeneutical lesson: biblical narratives often operate on multiple levels, and we must be careful not to oversimplify them. God is always working out His sovereign purposes—even through deeply flawed human actions.
