    6Then Hamor, the father of Shechem, went out to Jacob to speak with him.

    7Now Jacob's sons had come in from the fields when they heard, and the men were grieved and very angry, because this outrageous act had been done in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter—something that should not be done.

    8Hamor spoke with them, saying, "My son Shechem has set his heart on your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.

    9Make marriages with us: give your daughters to us and take our daughters for yourselves.

    10You can dwell with us, and the land will be open to you: live, trade in it, and acquire property here.

    11Shechem said to Dinah's father and brothers, "Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you ask of me, I will give.

    12Set the bride price and gift as high as you like, and I will pay whatever you ask me; just give me the young woman as a wife."

    13But the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and his father Hamor with deceit, because Shechem had defiled their sister Dinah.

    14They said to them, "We cannot do this thing—to give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised, for that would be a disgrace to us.

    15However, we will agree to you on one condition: if you become like us by every male among you being circumcised.

    16Then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters for ourselves; we will dwell among you and become one people.

    22Only on this condition will the men agree to live with us and become one people: every male among us must be circumcised, just as they are.

    23Won't their livestock, their property, and all their animals be ours? Only let us agree to them, and they will dwell with us."

    24All who went out of the gate of the city listened to Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male was circumcised—all who went out of the gate of the city.
