Dinah

Dinah (דִּינָה "Judged; vindicated", Standard Hebrew Dina, Tiberian Hebrew Dīnāh), mentioned in the Book of Genesis, is the daughter of Jacob and Leah and the sister of Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin. She is married to Shalem , who Simeon and Levi believe to have raped her. This prompts Simeon and Levi to massacre all the men in Shalem's city.
