Genesis 34:13-17 ▼

13 Jacob’s sons replied to Shechem and his father Hamor with guile, speaking as they did because he had defiled their sister Dinah.

14 They said to them, “We are not able to do this thing: to give our sister to an uncircumcised man. For that would be a disgrace for us.

15 Only on this condition will we agree to that: that you become like us by having every male among you circumcised.

16 Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters in marriage; we will settle among you and become one people.

17 But if you do not listen to us and be circumcised, we will take our daughter and go.”
