Genesis 34:20-23

20So HamorH2544 and his sonH1121 ShechemH7927 wentH935 toH413 the gateH8179 of their cityH5892 and addressedH1696H413 the menH582 of their cityH5892H559: 21“TheseH428 menH582 are at peaceH8003H1992 with usH854. Let them liveH3427 and tradeH5503 in our landH776; indeedH2009, it is largeH7342H3027 enough for themH6440. Let us takeH3947 their daughtersH1323 in marriageH802 and giveH5414 our daughtersH1323 to them. 22But onlyH389 on this conditionH2063 will the menH582 agreeH225 to dwellH3427 with usH854 and beH1961 oneH259 peopleH5971: if allH3605 our menH2145 are circumcisedH4135 asH834 they areH1992H4135. 23Will notH3808 their livestockH4735, their possessionsH7075, and allH3605 theirH1992 animalsH929 become ours? OnlyH389 let us consentH225 to them, and they will dwellH3427 among usH854.”
