"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.”"
— Genesis 34:23, NET Bible
“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."”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city and spoke to the men of their city,
“These men are at peace with us. So let them live in the land and travel freely in it, for the land is wide enough for them. We will take their daughters for wives, and we will give them our daughters to marry.
Only on this one condition will these men consent to live with us and become one people: They demand that every male among us be circumcised just as they are circumcised.
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.”
All the men who assembled at the city gate agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem. Every male who assembled at the city gate was circumcised.
In three days, when they were still in pain, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword and went to the unsuspecting city and slaughtered every male.
They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the sword, took Dinah from Shechem’s house, and left.
