Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Dinah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as her account is primarily contained within the Old Testament.

Usage: Dinah is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "judged" or "vindicated." She is the daughter of Jacob and Leah, and her account is primarily found in the Book of Genesis.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the patriarchal society of ancient Israel, Dinah's account reflects the complexities of family honor, social customs, and inter-tribal relations. Her narrative is set in the context of the early Israelite tribes and their interactions with the surrounding Canaanite peoples. The account of Dinah highlights issues of honor, retribution, and the consequences of intermarriage with non-Israelites.
