How old was Dinah, Shim'on (Simeon), and Lewi (Levi) when Dinah was defiled?

Answer From The Annual Reading Schedule - Week 9 Notes For Genesis: Some speculate she was only as young as 9, but I speculate she was 13, Shim'on (Simeon) was 19, and Lewi (Levi) was 18. I base this upon a timeline study I did that has her being born the same year as Yoseph (Joseph) and defiled one year before Binyamin (Benjamin) is born. This would make Binyamin 4 when Yoseph was taken into captivity later on at the age of 17. This provides time for other events in Scripture to happen as well as for her to be old enough for this to happen, and her brothers to be nearly or possibly completely full grown men who would be able to avenge their sister in such a way. The year I speculate she was defiled is 2272.
