Timeline & Summary

• Dinah is born to Leah, becoming the only daughter to Jacob.
• Dinah gets to hang around with her aunties and her mother, even in the red tent where women bleed and share stories.
• Basically, Dinah is treated like a queen.
• Then, one day, Jacob and Laban get in a huge fight, so Dinah travels to Canaan with the rest of her family.
• At Canaan, Dinah meets her cousin, Tabea.
• But then the fam moves to Succoth, where Dinah spends two years taking care of the children of bondwomen and stuff like that.
• Jacob's family is invited to the barley festival, which is headed by his mother, Rebecca.
• Dinah's not a huge fan of her grandmother, especially because she curses her cousin, Tabea.
• Everyone leaves Grandma's house but Dinah: instead, Dinah needs to stay three more months.
• Dinah suffers through the three months, then moves back in with her family.
• Then it's moving time again—this time to Shechem.
• In Shechem, Dinah meets a boy named Shalem in the city and instantly falls in love.
• Shalem is a prince, and he and Dinah eventually get it on.
• But Jacob doesn't like Shalem's father, King Hamor, so he is hesitant to let Dinah marry.
• Eventually, Jacob demands that the Shechem men be circumcised as the bride-price.
• Dinah's all like, Dad, you're embarrassing me in front of my new friends.
• But the Shechem people oblige.
• Pretty soon, Dinah wakes up next to Shalem. He's been killed in his sleep by Dinah's brothers, Simon and Levi.
• Dinah's then kidnapped by Simon and Levi and brought back to Jacob's camp.
• Dinah's suicidal at this point and plans to run to Shechem. She is found by the queen's guard and put into the safety of the queen.
• Queen Re-nefer and Dinah then move to Egypt to live with the Re-nefer's brother, Nakht-re.
• There, Dinah lives pretty happily, and she gives birth to a baby boy: Re-mose.
• Years fly by, and Re-mose leaves, which makes Dinah all sad-face.
• Dinah meets a carpenter named Benia at the marketplace and totally digs him, but she leaves.
• Back in Egypt, Dinah and her friend Meryt work as midwives, and they become pretty famous.
• Re-nefer and Nakht-re die, so Dinah moves in with Meryt in the Valley of the Kings.
• Dinah works as a midwife there, too, and Benia shows up at the house.
• Things escalate pretty quickly, and soon enough Dinah's married to Benia.
• One day, Re-mose shows up at Dinah's door asking for a favor: he needs her to help his master's wife deliver a baby.
• Turns out the master is Joseph, her younger brother who was sold into slavery. Awkward.
• So Re-mose finds out about his father and how he was killed, and he gets pretty darn mad.
• Dinah's able to talk Joseph into giving her son a place to live north by the river.
• Dinah then goes back and lives with Benia happily, until Joseph shows up at her door.
• Joseph begs Dinah to go visit Jacob, who's dying.
• Dinah agrees and goes with Joseph. Once there, she doesn't interact with anyone; she just witnesses everything going on.
• Finally, Dinah leaves and lives pretty much happily ever after with Benia until she dies.
