20 And Hamor will come, and Shechem his son, to the gate of their city, and they will speak to the men of the city, saying, 21 These men they are living peacefully with us, and they shall dwell in the land, and traffic in it; and the land, behold, being broad to the hands before them: we will take their daughters to us for wives, and give our daughters to them. 22 Only in this will the men consent to us to dwell with us to be for one people, in the circumcising to us every male according as they having been circumcised. 23 Their cattle and their possession and all their quadrupeds, shall they not be to us? only we will consent to them, and they will dwell with us. 24 And to Hamor and to Shechem his son, will listen all going out of the gate of the city: and they will circumcise every male, all going out of the gate of the city.
