Genesis 34:13-17

13And the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 answeredH6030 ShechemH7927 and HamorH2544 his fatherH1 with guile, and spake, because he had defiledH2930 DinahH1783 their sisterH269, 14and saidH559 unto them, We cannot do this thingH1697, to giveH5414 our sisterH269 to oneH376 that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproachH2781 unto us. 15OnlyH389 on this condition will we consent unto you: if ye will beH1961 as we areH1961, that every maleH2145 of you beH1961 circumcisedH4135; 16then will we giveH5414 our daughtersH1323 unto you, and we will takeH3947 your daughtersH1323 to us, and we will dwellH3427 with you, and we will becomeH1961 oneH259 peopleH5971. 17But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcisedH4135; then will we takeH3947 our daughterH1323, and we will be goneH1980.
