Because I am a bonafide scholar I have been using the amazing brick testament. For those unaware the brick testament consists of the main bits from the bible acted out in lego, and photographed, fucking amazing, hats off I know. I found Genesis 34 pretty Machiavellian and interesting.

| Jacob with the 'walls of jericho' ahahaha... |
Jacob, favoured by God because he wrestled him for a few hours and wouldn't let go, by all accounts a genocidical bastard has a daughter Dinah. Now Dinah gets raped by men from the city of Schechem, one of whom, in an old world twist of wierdness then wishes to marry her. Jacob's sons Simeon and Levi agree to inter-marriage as long as the men of the city of Shechem agree to be circumcised. Seems a reasonable deal right? Anyway they go along with it...
The next day when the circumcised men are bedridden in pain Levi and Simeon descend upon the town and murder everyone and loot the shit out of the town. Now that's some special sort of fucked up, who does that, who thinks like this? God's chosen people, wow, scary, kinda impressive!
See here for Genesis 34 - Rape of Dinah
