Genesis 34:13-17
13Jacob’s sons answered Shechem and his father Hamor deceitfully when they spoke because Shechem had violated their sister Dinah.
14They said to them, “We cannot give our sister to a man who is not circumcised, for it would be a disgrace to us.
15We will give you our consent on this one condition: You must become like us by circumcising all your males.
16Then we will give you our daughters to marry, and we will take your daughters as wives for ourselves, and we will live among you and become one people.
17But if you do not agree to our terms by being circumcised, then we will take our sister and depart.”
