12. Ask me ever so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as you shall say unto me: but give me the damsel for my wife.
13. And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:
14. And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that would be a reproach unto us:
15. But in this will we consent unto you: If you will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;
16. 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.
17. But if you will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
