An Application
This story gives us fascinating perspective into the different culture in this corner of the world 3,700 years ago. Dinah was only born 4 stories ago. While not described numerically, all the time is accounted for between these stories, so Dinah could easily be less than 10 years old here. Similarly, Simeon and Levi may be in their low teens. The "city" of Schechem may have only had a few buildings (and a few families) in it. "City" simply being a place with more than zero permanent structures.
Connect the Dots
This is the only story about Dinah, and she's only otherwise in GE 30:21 & 46:15. After her disgrace, she probably never married, so never had children of whom to write about. / What a bum deal for the men of that town. Their leader, Shechem, wants a foreign wife so
they
had to get circumcised? GE 34:23 must've been key, it indicates they were just double-crossed first. / GE 34:31 was true, but punishing everyone in the town was overkill.
