Genesis:34:13-17

*
And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully ,
and said ,
because he had defiled Dinah their sister :
*
And they said unto them ,
We cannot do this thing ,
to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised ;
for that were a reproach unto us :
*
But in this will we consent unto you :
If ye will be as we be ,
that every male of you be circumcised ;
*
Then will we give our daughters unto you ,
and we will take your daughters to us ,
and we will dwell with you ,
and we will become one people .
*
But if ye will not hearken unto us ,
to be circumcised ;
then will we take our daughter ,
and we will be gone .
