Genesis 34:20-24

20And HamorH2544 and ShechemH7927 his sonH1121 cameH935 unto the gateH8179 of their cityH5892, and communed with the menH376 of their cityH5892, sayingH559,

21TheseH428 menH376 are peaceable with usH5414; therefore letH5414 them dwellH3427 in the landH776, and tradeH5503 therein; for, beholdH2009, the landH776 is large enoughH3027 for them; letH5414 usH5414 takeH3947 their daughtersH1323 to usH5414 for wivesH802, and letH5414 usH5414 giveH5414 them our daughtersH1323.

22OnlyH389 on this condition will the menH376 consentH225 unto usH2063 to dwellH3427 with usH2063, to becomeH1961 one peopleH5971, ifH834 everyH3605 maleH2145 among usH2063 be circumcisedH4135, as they are circumcisedH4135.

23Shall notH3808 their cattleH929 and their substance and allH3605 their beastsH929 be ours? onlyH389 letH3808 usH929 consentH225 unto them, and they will dwellH3427 with usH929.

24And unto HamorH2544 and unto ShechemH7927 his sonH1121 hearkened allH3605 that wentH3318 outH3318 of the gateH8179 of his cityH5892; and everyH3605 maleH2145 was circumcisedH4135, allH3605 that wentH3318 outH3318 of the gateH8179 of his cityH5892.
