How we cite our quotes: (Part.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
I thought of the gods and goddesses as aunts and uncles who were bigger than my parents and able to live inside the ground or above the earth as they liked. (2.2.19)
Dinah's spirituality as a child isn't really far off from most adults' way of looking at the gods; for her, the gods are simply larger than life, and they're everywhere. They're omnipresent and omnipotent.
Quote #5
Jacob said that his god had come to him in a dream and spoken to him and told him to go with his wives and his sons and his flocks in abundance. [...] This troubled the old man, who shivered before the power of any god. (2.2.34)
Laban is one of those guys who's easily frightened by the gods. But really, Jacob could have said anything, and Laban would have believed him. That's how much power the gods had over some people. Does that make Laban fearful or just, at least in his view, devout?
Quote #6
I wondered if the teraphims would come to life and cast terrible spells on us for disturbing them. (2.2.79)
Praise the gods, and you'll get good fortune; steal the gods, and you'll get cursed. Seems pretty straightforward to us. Some people might even see Rachel's theft as the reason why Dinah's life gets ruined in Shechem.
