Where Dinah appears in Scripture

Genesis 30

וְאַחַר יָלְדָה בַּת וַתִּקְרָא אֶת-שְׁמָהּ דִּינָֽה׃
21
And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.

Genesis 34

וַתֵּצֵא דִינָה בַּת-לֵאָה אֲשֶׁר יָֽלְדָה לְיַֽעֲקֹב לִרְאוֹת בִּבְנוֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃
1
And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
וַתִּדְבַּק נַפְשׁוֹ בְּדִינָה בַּֽת-יַעֲקֹב וַיֶּֽאֱהַב אֶת-הַֽנַּעֲרָ וַיְדַבֵּר עַל-לֵב הַֽנַּעֲרָֽ׃
3
And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
וְיַֽעֲקֹב שָׁמַע כִּי טִמֵּא אֶת-דִּינָה בִתּוֹ וּבָנָיו הָיוּ אֶת-מִקְנֵהוּ בַּשָּׂדֶה וְהֶֽחֱרִשׁ יַֽעֲקֹב עַד-בֹּאָֽם׃
5
And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come.
וַיַּֽעֲנוּ בְנֵֽי-יַעֲקֹב אֶת-שְׁכֶם וְאֶת-חֲמוֹר אָבִיו בְּמִרְמָה וַיְדַבֵּרוּ אֲשֶׁר טִמֵּא אֵת דִּינָה אֲחֹתָֽם׃
13
And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:
וַיְהִי בַיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי בִּֽהְיוֹתָם כֹּֽאֲבִים וַיִּקְחוּ שְׁנֵֽי-בְנֵי-יַעֲקֹב שִׁמְעוֹן וְלֵוִי אֲחֵי דִינָה אִישׁ חַרְבּוֹ וַיָּבֹאוּ עַל-הָעִיר בֶּטַח וַיַּֽהַרְגוּ כָּל-זָכָֽר׃
25
And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.
וְאֶת-חֲמוֹר וְאֶת-שְׁכֶם בְּנוֹ הָֽרְגוּ לְפִי-חָרֶב וַיִּקְחוּ אֶת-דִּינָה מִבֵּית שְׁכֶם וַיֵּצֵֽאוּ׃
26
And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.

Genesis 46

אֵלֶּה׀ בְּנֵי לֵאָה אֲשֶׁר יָֽלְדָה לְיַֽעֲקֹב בְּפַדַּן אֲרָם וְאֵת דִּינָה בִתּוֹ כָּל-נֶפֶשׁ בָּנָיו וּבְנוֹתָיו שְׁלֹשִׁים וְשָׁלֹֽשׁ׃
15
These be the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padan-aram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and three.
