Genesis 34:18-24

18And their wordsH1697 pleased HamorH2544, and ShechemH7927 Hamor’s sonH1121. 19And the youngH5288 manH5288 deferred not to do the thingH1697, because he had delightH2654 in Jacob’s daughterH1323: and he was honoredH3513 above all the houseH1004 of his fatherH1. 20And HamorH2544 and ShechemH7927 his sonH1121 cameH935 unto the gateH8179 of their cityH5892, and communed with the menH376 of their cityH5892, sayingH559, 21These menH376 are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwellH3427 in the landH776, and trade therein; for, behold, the landH776 is large enough for them; let us takeH3947 their daughtersH1323 to us for wivesH802, and let us giveH5414 them our daughtersH1323. 22OnlyH389 on this condition will the menH376 consent unto us to dwellH3427 with us, to becomeH1961 oneH259 peopleH5971, if every maleH2145 among us beH1961 circumcisedH4135, as they are circumcisedH4135. 23Shall not their cattleH929 and their substance and all their beasts be ours? onlyH389 let us consent unto them, and they will dwellH3427 with us. 24And unto HamorH2544 and unto ShechemH7927 his sonH1121 hearkened all that wentH3318 out of the gateH8179 of his cityH5892; and every maleH2145 was circumcisedH4135, all that wentH3318 out of the gateH8179 of his cityH5892.
