Dinah Goes Out and the Silence of Jacob in Tanchuma

(Genesis 34:1:) "AND DINAH THE DAUGHTER OF LEAH WENT OUT." This is what Scripture says (Proverbs 11:12): "ONE WHO DESPISES HIS NEIGHBOR LACKS SENSE." Whoever despises his neighbor is called one who lacks sense. But if that same man who is being despised is a person of knowledge and understanding, he puts his hand over his mouth and keeps silent, as it is said (in the same verse): "BUT A MAN OF UNDERSTANDING KEEPS SILENT." "ONE WHO DESPISES HIS NEIGHBOR LACKS SENSE" - this is Hamor the father of Shechem, who said (Genesis 34:8): "SHECHEM MY SON, HIS SOUL LONGS FOR YOUR DAUGHTER." "BUT A MAN OF UNDERSTANDING KEEPS SILENT" - this is Jacob, as it is said (Genesis 34:5): "AND JACOB KEPT SILENT UNTIL THEY CAME." On account of what? Through this corruption: (Genesis 34:1) "AND DINAH THE DAUGHTER OF LEAH WENT OUT."
