20 And Hamor comes—his son Shechem also—to the gate of their city, and they speak to the men of their city, saying, 21 “These men are peaceable with us; then let them dwell in the land, and trade [in] it; and the land, behold, [is] wide before them; their daughters let us take to ourselves for wives, and our daughters give to them. 22 Only for this do the men consent to us, to dwell with us, to become one people, in every male of us being circumcised, as they are circumcised; 23 their livestock, and their substance, and all their beasts—are they not ours? Only let us consent to them, and they dwell with us.” 24 And to Hamor, and to his son Shechem, do all those going out of the gate of his city listen, and every male is circumcised, all those going out of the gate of his city.
