Genesis 34:13-17

13And the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 answeredH6030 ShechemH7927 and HamorH2544 his fatherH1 with guile, and spake, becauseH834 he had defiledH2930 DinahH1783 their sisterH269,

14and saidH559 unto them, WeH3588 cannotH3808 doH6213 this thingH1697, to giveH5414 our sisterH269 to one that is uncircumcisedH6190; for that were a reproachH2781 unto usH5414:

15OnlyH389 on this condition will weH518 consentH225 unto youH518: ifH518 ye will be as weH518 be, that everyH3605 maleH2145 of youH518 be circumcisedH4135;

16then will weH854 giveH5414 our daughtersH1323 unto youH5414, and weH854 will takeH3947 your daughtersH1323 to usH5414, and weH854 will dwellH3427 with youH5414, and weH854 will becomeH1961 one peopleH5971.

17But ifH518 ye will notH3808 hearken unto usH413, to be circumcisedH4135; then will weH518 takeH3947 our daughterH1323, and weH518 will be goneH1980.
