In [[Genesis]], '''Levi''' was the third son of [[Jacob]] and [[Leah]] and the third son of twelve brothers overall. He was the founder of the [[Levites|Levite tribe]] one of the [[Twelve tribes of Israel]]. After the rape of their sister [[Dinah]] by the prince of the city of [[Shechem]], Levi and his brother [[Simeon]] tricked the people of Shechem into circumcizing themselves and then when they were recovering slaughtered all the people of Shechem. Jacob remembered this when giving his blessing to his sons and admonished Levi for his killing in anger and stated his descendents would be scattered in the land of [[Israel]]. (Genesis 49:5-7).
