Subject/Title of Window: Levi City Gate of Shechen

Brief Description of Subject: Simeon and Levi are brethren-weapons of violence their kinship let my soul not come into their council
Unto their assembly let my glory not be united Gen. 49:6-7
For in their anger they slew men
And in their self will they houghed oxen.
Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce
And their wrath for it was evil
I will divide them in Jacob
And scatter them in Israel
Second son of Leah-born in haram few references in Bible to him
Together with Levi – took violent revenge upon Shechen for violations of their sister, Dinah. Gen. 34 (story of Shechen, son of Hamor)
Children of the same mother- felt insult more keenly than other brothers.

Blessing of Jacob-he is reproached descendants doomed to dispersal
He cast Joseph into pit-depicted as enemy of Joseph Possesses great strength
Tribe closely affiliated with Judah-after rise of David

The MSGC is a constantly evolving database. Not all the data that has been collected by volunteers has been sorted and entered. Not every building has been completely documented.

All images in the Index are either born-digital photographs of windows or buildings or are scans of slides, prints, or other published sources. These images have been provided by volunteers and the quality of the material varies widely.

If you have any questions, additions or corrections, or think you can provide better images and are willing to share them, please contact donald20@msu.edu
