Genesis 34:13-17

13And the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 answeredH6030 ShechemH7927 and HamorH2544 his fatherH1 deceitfullyH4820, and saidH1696, because he had defiledH2930 DinahH1783 their sisterH269:

14And they saidH559 unto them, We cannotH3201H3808 doH6213 this thingH1697, to giveH5414 our sisterH269 to oneH376 that is uncircumcisedH6190; for that were a reproachH2781 unto us:

15But in thisH2063 will we consentH225 unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every maleH2145 of you be circumcisedH4135;

16Then will we giveH5414 our daughtersH1323 unto you, and we will takeH3947 your daughtersH1323 to us, and we will dwellH3427 with you, and we will become oneH259 peopleH5971.

17But if ye will not hearkenH8085 unto us, to be circumcisedH4135; then will we takeH3947 our daughterH1323, and we will be goneH1980.
