Genesis34:1

1 AND Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.

From her fathers house into the City, out of curiosity, there being then, as Iosephus reports, a great concourse of people to a Feast. Thus she put her self out of her Fathers protection, and meerly out of a vain humor, exposed both her self and others to Temptation, which was the worse because it was amongst them that had no fear of God to restrain them from the most enormous crimes. She was now fourteen or fifteen years old.
