And he was attached to the soul of Dina the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the virgin, and he spoke to her according to the virgin’s heart . How can the Scripture say that she was a virgin, if he had already slept with her and humiliated her? The answer is that perhaps the word virgin is used to indicate age, according to the Hebrew expression. Or perhaps it is rather a recapitulation by means of which the author then says what happened before? In fact, he was able to take her first to love her, to be a virgin, and to talk to her as to a virgin, and then to lie down with her and humiliate her. [<br/><i>— QUESTIONS ON GENESIS, Q. 106 (tr. J.
