intro to pre-israelite tales: considering that the NAME of the nation is "children of israel" [many times in the bible] therefore only a brief introduction, such as God's plan "to benefit the nations through you" ought to delay the first story of the "children" of israel. it is antq. b1,21 about dina, which preserves the original story which differs from genesis 34. when jospehus relies on a religious text it is no better however when he differs from genesis as here and other details that indicates his research and historical authority for the story. later b2,2 josp dreams.
**for the purpose of reaching the activities of "children of israel", a brif background is better, instead of delaying their events with many other storys. insted of thousands of words that are not the events of the nation, which delay the events of dina and josep, we must find *the bit that INTRODUCES the nation, and provide only a brif background. we must not blame the victim of rape.

introduction to segment "isac": from isac's wedding, which led to the birth of israel and his children, until the israelite family came to shechem.
isac, summary of antq. 1,16+17+18, and part two: "israel's family" summary of antq' 1,19+20, introducing the story of dina in b1,21.
PART ONE, summary of antq. 1,16+17+18, Abraham sent his messenger to bring a wife for isac, his son. m' traveld to the city of a.'s relative and the only lady that "agreed to give him" water was ribka. She was from a's brother's family. He explained his purpose, to bring her as a wife and gave her bracelets [g24]. They told her family and she came and wed isac. After this abraham died. his sons buried him with his wife [g25] in Ebron.
Isaac inquird God who answered, "your wife Rbka will birth twins. he who is born second will excel the elder." She birthd Esau and Israel [1 chron 1]. Later, isac wished good on israel [g27] which matched the sale. esau had returnd home from hunting. israel was cooking [g25, a,b2,1] lentil stew in red sauce. esau askd to eat some of the red stew. Israel offerd to exchange his product for esua's birthright. Esau agreed. israel insisted that esau vow. Esau swore an oath selling his birthright to israel with a vow. They exchanged. israel gave Esau bread and a portion of lentil stew. they ate and drank. esau stood up and left. [without complaint see below.]
NOTE: this story around 200 words, summarizes 2500 words in antq. which differs from genesis. the lengthy story not only delays the story of the activitys of the children of israel, but worse, considering the name of the title he chose is jews, yet abraham's sons were not included in this nation, indicating the nation had not yet begun with abraham nor his sons, the delay is not about the jews and such lengthy storys NOT about that nation are delaying the storys which ARE about the activitys of the children of israel such as dina and josep.
genesis has an even worse delay, not only differing from the original story of the ancient jews, but worse its lengthiness 2400+2100=4500 words, in these chapters, which delays the story of the activitys of the "children of israel" such as dina and josep. despite the fact that this same scroll repeatedly wrote the name of the nation "children of israel" and therefore delaying THEIR story, more than a brief introduction is bad and wrong. we see the severity of the lengthiness 2400 words by comparison.+ many details in antq' are NOT the events of the children of israel and DELAY the story of dina who IS the children of israel. Genesis delays it even worse, with more, 2100 words as above, that do not even introduce the nation "children of israel". josepus slightly differs from genesis see intro. for example g26 isac dug wells, delays with a story that does not even introduce the nation.
the SALE leads to the nation and the absence is hard to notice that esau was "tired" the use in judges 4,21, yet if he thirsted he had "drink" without stew. if esau hungerd he ate bread without stew but he asked for stew. afterward he did not complain: "i was forced compelled by thirst, i felt like i was dying."
PART TWO
**summary of josephus 1,19-20 before dina so brif.
j1,19: Israel went [from home] to rbk's brother, Lbn, in Mesopotamia, to wed his cousin, but wed two of laban's daughters, lea and rel. lea birthed rbn [g29] first, then 3 more sons. the 2 maids of the wives birthed four more of israel's sons.
Rbn, israel's first-born son, brought berrys from the "dda" plant to his mother Lea.
Rel wanted to eat them, so she exchanged her "wife night" near their husband, to lea, for the berries. israel fatherd more sons and one dauter, named dina [g30]. later, rel birthed a son, named Josep. +j1,20: when israel's family was returning [g31] home, ESAU greeted [g33] him.
note: this brif summary around 110 words, is better than delaying the stories of dina and josep with many other details that are not the israellites activities and often do not even introduce the nation so only brif. insted of 4,800 words NOT the events of the "children of israel" j19=4k, j20v=780w, a brif summary is better insted of delaying the events of dina one of the "children of israel". genesis is even worse in this parallel section with hundreds more words, 5,200 words NOT about the events of the "children of israel" until dina that DELAYS the story of the "children of israel" with stories that are not such events and often do not even introduce the nation.
stats: g28=600w jqb dream, 29+30=1.9kw jqb met rel and lbn, names of sons and meaning
still "not sons' actions" ergo for the purpose of reaching the sons action, a brif background is better instead of delaying the sons actions. 31 jqb returnd home. 1.4k, 32=800w a man added the name israel to jqb.
500wg33
until dina g34, 500+800+1.4k+1k+900+600=5.2kw
