And live with us. The land is in your power: cultivate, trade, and possess it.”
And Shechem even said to her father and to her brothers: “May I find favor in your sight, and whatever you will appoint, I will give.
Increase the dowry, and request gifts, and I will freely bestow what you will ask. Only give me this girl as a wife.”
The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father with deceit, being enraged at the rape of their sister:
“We are not able to do what you ask, nor to give our sister to an uncircumcised man. For us, this is unlawful and abominable.
But we may succeed in this, so as to be allied with you, if you are willing to become like us, and if all the male sex among you will be circumcised.
Then we will mutually give and receive your daughters as well as ours; and we will live with you, and we will become one people.
