חסידות אויף בראשית 30:16

And Dinah,, etc. to see in the daughters of the land. The expression, in the daughters of the land, needs to be understood; it should have said, "to see the daughters of the land." And that which appears [correct] is that, behold the Sages, may their memory be blessed, said (Midrash Tanchuma, Vayishlach 7:1), "Scripture associates her name with Leah. Leah’s daughter loved to go out just as her mother did. How do we know this about Leah? It is written: And Leah went out to meet him (Genesis 30:16), etc." And at first glance, this is a wonder! Did it not know their, may their memory be blessed, saying (Pesachim 3a) that Scripture did not even speak in disgrace of an impure animal? Why would Scripture write with the intention of showing the disgrace of that righteous woman [Leah]? All the more so, since it is known that she truly intended [it] for the sake of the Heavens, since she desired and strove to establish the tribes of God. And it is like their statement, may their memory be blessed (Bereishit Rabbah 72:5).

Genesis 34,1. “Dinah, Leah’s daughter left her house ‎unaccompanied;” Bereshit Rabbah 79,1comments on ‎this: “like mother like daughter;” this is a reference to the ‎forwardness of Leah when she informed her husband Yaakov that ‎it was her turn to host him, on account of the mandrakes of her ‎son Reuven, etc. (Genesis 30,16). According to Rashi ‎quoting B’rachot 60, the fetus from which Dinah was born ‎was originally meant to produce a male child. Leah’s prayer was ‎intended to prevent her sister from being put to shame, as if the ‎fetus in Leah’s womb would be born as a male, Rachel would wind ‎up with fewer sons than even Yaakov’s hand maids. As a result of ‎her prayer Dinah, i.e. a female, was born‎ ‎ ‎בת לאה‎, these words, that on the face of it do not tell us ‎anything we did not know, allude to this hidden aspect of Leah’s ‎pregnancy on this occasion. It was her prayer that resulted in ‎Dinah being born as a female. When the Torah continues with: ‎וירא אותה שכם וגו'‏‎, ”Shechem ,son of Chamor saw her, etc;” ‎this is an allusion to the fact that if Leah had not prayed for this ‎child to be a daughter, the whole incident of the rape would have ‎been prevented as Shechem would not have had an opportunity ‎to set eyes on a daughter of Yaakov.‎
