Twilight by Stephenie Meyer is no doubt one of the most popular books of this generation. Some even argue that it has become more popular than the Harry Potter book series. Although this could be debated what is definitely not up for debate is that Twilight has left a mark on this world.

Gilgamesh the information he needed to complete his quest for immortality. It was, however, her words of wisdom that ultimately offered the answers he sought.

Perhaps הַכְזוֹנָ֕ה occurs as a reflection of what Jacob was in essence doing to Dinah - selling her for financial gain. The economic gain that would benefit Jacob by the sum of a bride price and Hamor by the acquisition of Jacob’s family intermingling.
