RAPE

The act of a man forcing a woman to have sexual intercourse against her will. Two instances are recorded in the OT: Shechem the son of Hamor, a Hivite, raped Dinah (see Gn 34:2-7), and Amnon raped his sister Tamar (2 Sm 13:14). In both instances, their brothers got vengeance for the rape of their sister.

See also Dinah; Tamar (Person) #2.
