Dinah This name must have been similar in meaning to that of Dan; cf. Genesis 30:6. This is the only daughter of Jacob whose name is mentioned. The "daughters" in Genesis 37:35; Genesis 46:7, may have been daughters-in-law.

It is noticeable that no mention of Dinah is made in Genesis 32:22, where Jacob's "eleven children" are spoken of; and it has been suggested that her name here is a later editorial insertion to harmonize the list of children with the story of ch. 34.
