"Dina uit Sichem gehaald en Jakob zuivert zijn huis van vreemde goden en versieringen" is an etching by Dutch artist Simon Fokke. The image depicts two scenes from the Book of Genesis, showing the removal of Dinah from Sichem and the destruction of idols by Jacob. The work is part of a larger series of etchings illustrating the Old Testament. The careful detail and dramatic composition typical of Fokke's style are evident in the etching. Created in 1791, it is a testament to Fokke's long-standing interest in biblical narrative and his skill as an engraver. The work is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
