The answer is: Simeon and Levi

Gen 34:25-26

When it comes to the story of Simeon and Levi's act of revenge for their sister Dinah in Genesis 34, it’s a classic tale that dives into themes of honor, justice, and the lengths to which we will go to defend family. After Dinah is wronged by Shechem, the hot-headed sons of Jacob decide that their sister’s dignity must be avenged. Under the guise of a peaceful agreement, they invite Shechem and his people to undergo circumcision, which sets the stage for a brutal retaliation.

On the third day after the procedure, when Shechem and his friends are at their weakest, Simeon and Levi spring into action, attacking the unsuspecting men of the city. In doing so, they ignite a conflict that not only affects their family but also alters the landscape of their future as a tribe. The aftermath leaves Jacob worried about the safety of his remaining family and their position in the region.

Interestingly, this story foreshadows the complex narratives woven into the fabric of Jacob’s sons, as becomes especially nuanced in later chapters—each son embodies distinctive traits and engages in further intricate relationships and adventures. For instance, later in Exodus, tribal divisions resulting from their lineage bear forbearance and various redeeming ideas echoing their ancestors’ actions, such as the idea of restoration over revenge. It serves as a timeless reminder for us to consider the consequences of our actions while seeking justice.
