Genesis 34:18-24
18Now their wordsH1697 seemedH3190 1reasonableH3190 to HamorH2544 and ShechemH7927, Hamor’sH2544 sonH1121. 19The youngH5288 manH5288 did not delayH309 to doH6213 2thisH1697, becauseH3588 he was delightedH2654 with Jacob’sH3290 daughterH1323. Now he was moreH4480 respectedH3513 thanH4480 allH3605 the householdH1004 of his fatherH1. 20So HamorH2544 and his sonH1121 ShechemH7927 cameH935 to the 3gateH8179 of their cityH5892 and spokeH1696 to the peopleH376 of their cityH5892, sayingH559, 21“TheseH428 menH376 are 4friendlyH8003 to us; therefore let them liveH3427 in the landH776 and tradeH5503 in it, for beholdH2009, the landH776 is 5largeH7342H3027 enoughH3027 for them. We will takeH3947 their daughtersH1323 6in marriageH802, and giveH5414 our daughtersH1323 to them. 22OnlyH389 on thisH2088 condition will the menH376 consentH225 to us to liveH3427 with us, to becomeH1961 oneH259 peopleH5971: that everyH3605 maleH2145 among us be circumcisedH4135 justH3512 asH3512 they are circumcisedH4135. 23Will their livestockH4735 and their propertyH7075 and allH3605 their animalsH929 not be ours? Let’s justH389 consentH225 to them, and they will liveH3427 with us.” 247AllH3605 who wentH3318 outH3318 of the gateH8179 of his cityH5892 listenedH8085 to HamorH2544 and to his sonH1121 ShechemH7927, and everyH3605 maleH2145 was circumcisedH4135, allH3605 who wentH3318 outH3318 of the gateH8179 of his cityH5892.
