12. Ask me ever so much dowry and gift, and I will give according to what you say to me; but give me the young woman as a wife.”
13. But the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father, and spoke deceitfully, because he had defiled Dinah their sister.
14. And they said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a reproach to us.
15. But on this condition we will consent to you: If you will become as we are, if every male of you is circumcised,
16. then we will give our daughters to 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 heed us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and be gone.”
18. And their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.
19. So the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he delighted in Jacob’s daughter. He was more honorable than all the household of his father.
