Genesis 34:28
They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,
They took their sheep, their oxen, and their asses,.... The Shechemites hoped to have the cattle and substance of Jacob's family, and in a hypocritical manner submitted to circumcision, for the sake of worldly advantage; for that, and pleasing their prince, seem to be the only views they had in it; wherefore, in this there is a just retaliation of them in Providence:
and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field; the cattle that were kept at home, and those that were brought up in the field, all became a prey.
