"Then will not their cattle and their goods and all their beasts be ours? so let us come to an agreement with them so that they may go on living with us."
— Genesis 34:23, Bible in Basic English
“Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us.”
“Shall not their cattle and their substance and all their beasts be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us. ”
“Won't their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let us give our consent to them, and they will dwell with us."”
“If we do so, won’t their livestock, their property, and all their animals become ours? So let’s consent to their demand, so they will live among us.””
“And their substance, and cattle, and all that they possess, shall be ours; only in this let us condescend, and by dwelling together, we shall make one people.”
“Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us.”
Then Hamor and Shechem, his son, went to the meeting-place of their town, and said to the men of the town,
It is the desire of these men to be at peace with us; let them then go on living in this country and doing trade here, for the country is wide open before them; let us take their daughters as wives and let us give them our daughters.
But these men will make an agreement with us to go on living with us and to become one people, only on the condition that every male among us undergoes circumcision as they have done.
Then will not their cattle and their goods and all their beasts be ours? so let us come to an agreement with them so that they may go on living with us.
Then all the men of the town gave ear to the words of Hamor and Shechem his son; and every male in the town underwent circumcision.
But on the third day after, before the wounds were well, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and came into the town by surprise and put all the males to death.
And Hamor and his son they put to death with the sword, and they took Dinah from Shechem's house and went away.
