New Living Translation
Genesis 34:13-17
13But since Shechem had defiled their sister, Dinah, Jacob’s sons responded deceitfully to Shechem and his father, Hamor.
14They said to them, “We couldn’t possibly allow this, because you’re not circumcised. It would be a disgrace for our sister to marry a man like you!
15But here is a solution. If every man among you will be circumcised like we are,
16then we will give you our daughters, and we’ll take your daughters for ourselves. We will live among you and become one people.
17But if you don’t agree to be circumcised, we will take her and be on our way.”
