Genesis 34

From the testimony of prophets, Jacob was a righteous man. He may not have been perfect in everyway, but he did strive to do what was right. Even though he was a good father and properly taught his children the way, it didn't mean his children did all they were suppose to.

As we read about the situation with Dinah, Shechem, Simeon, and Levi, each failed to live the commandments. It always comes down to obedience. Even though Shechem and his family were civil, they were not obedient to the commandments. This still did not justify the actions of Simeon and Levi.

We do know that with all these events, Jacob responded -

"Ye have troubled me..." (Old Testament | Genesis 34:30)

Not only because the situation it placed his family in relationship to their neighbors, but also because of their disobedience.
