21“TheseH428 menH376 are 1friendlyH8003 with us; therefore let them 2liveH3427 in the landH776 and tradeH5503 in it, for beholdH2009, the landH776 is 3largeH7342H3027 enoughH3027 for them. Let us takeH3947 their daughtersH1323 4in marriageH802, and giveH5414 our daughtersH1323 to them.

22OnlyH389 on thisH2088 condition will the menH376 consentH225 to us to 5liveH3427 with us, to becomeH1961 oneH259 peopleH5971: that everyH3605 maleH2145 among us be circumcisedH4135 as they are circumcisedH4135.

23Will not their livestockH4735 and their propertyH7075 and allH3605 their animalsH929 be ours? OnlyH389 let us consentH225 to them, and they will 6liveH3427 with us.”
